Dear : Friend

Compliments of the day to you. Obviously this message might come as a surprise to you, but please consider it as a high priority issue which will definitely change our destiny. let me start by introducing myself. I am MRS SUSAN SHABANGU, a mother of three children and the Deputy Minister of Safety and Security since 29th April 1996 to date under the auspices of the President of South Africa MR THABO MBEKI.

After due deliberation with my children, I decided to contact you for your assistance in standing as a beneficiary to the sum of US$30.5M ( Thirty Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars Only) You can view my profile at the South African government on line, www.gov.za click on, Contact Information, click on Deputy Minister,then click on Safety and Security finally click on Ms Susan Shabangu and read about me.

I MRS. SUSAN SHABANGU, got your contact through the South African Chamber of Commerce in my earnest search for a reliable individual who can assist me to make this transaction a reality.With my believe in you i know that you will never let me down.0r go toexpose it to another person.THE PROPOSAL, After the swearing in ceremony making me the Deputy Minister of Safety and Security, my husband Mr.Ndelebe Shabangu a miner at Kruger Company in South Africa died due to severe cardiac arrest in a South Africa Hospital,

After his death, I discovered that he had some funds in a dollar account which amounted to the sum of US$30.5M with a security and finance institution in South Africa of which I will divulge information to you when I get your full consent and support to go for a change of beneficiary and subsequent transfer of the funds into a comfortable and conducive account of your choice.

I am contacting you as a foreigner because this money cannot be approved for payment into a local account, but can only be approved for a foreign account because it was insured and there is aclause in the depository agreement by the Bank and my late husband which states that on Nocondition can any local withdrawal be made from this account unless the money is transfer into my foreign partner account. In effect withdrawals can be made only when the money has transferred from the vaults of the bank to a foreign bank account.

This fund emanated as a result of an over-invoiced contract which he executed with the Government of South Africa. Though I assisted him in getting this contract but I never knew that it was over-invoiced by him. I am afraid that the government of South Africa might start to investigate on contracts awarded from 1990 to date as Mr President was saying in our last conference meeting and If they discover this money in his bank account, they will confiscate it and seize his assets here in South Africa and this will definitely affect my political career in government.

I MRS. SUSAN SHABANGU, will see to it that the account is not traced from South Africa. As soon as you have confirmed the fund into your account, I will send my eldest son [Collins] with my Attorney to come to your country to discuss on business investments. For your assistance, I am offering you 30% of the principal sum which amounts to US$9,150.000.00 (Nine million One Hundred and Fifty Thousand United States Dollars Only) However, you have to assure me and also be ready to go into agreement with me that you will not elope with my fund.

If you agree to my terms, kindly as a matter of urgency send me an email. Due to my sensitive position in the South African Government, PLEASE DO NOT CALL ON THE OFFICE LINE, BECAUSE OF THE SENSITIVITY OF THIS TRANSACTION EXCEPT OF THE ABOVE email address.

If you want to speak with my Banker, that is fine and okay by me. You will have to send down your private telephone /fax number so that I can forward it to him to reach you from time to time,to enable the immediate transfer of this fund.Please I do not need to remind you of the need for absolute Confidentiality of this transaction. So make sure you read carefully and understand the contents of my mail.

Thanks for your anticipated co-operation and my regards to your family.

Yours faithfully,

SUSAN SHABANGU
Dept. Minister Safety & Security
South Africa.

    This is a response letter to me … from Susan Shabangu (?)

    Dear Umar Gundul

    I am very pleased for your willingness to assist us towards the conclusion of this transaction in goodwill and good faith despite you not knowing me in person but as we move forward you will know me. Also I am highly pleased to transact with you in this matter provided you promise to maintain the absolute confidentiality of this transaction until this money is finally transferred into your bank account in your Country, as you know the way this money was made, I don’t want to lose it because this is our future, based on this, we are putting our trust on you and hoping to invest this money with you under your close supervision as the fund manager by going into partnership. I need your maximum co-operation in this transaction to ensure the successful completion of the transfer to your nominated bank account in your country.

    Based on my present position as a full member in the South African Government th at is why I am involving you and also stand in the gap as the rightful beneficiary of this money. Please note that all documents that we are going to use in covering you and this amount will be secured by an indigenous lawyer and I have a very good and reputable lawyer who will assist us in arranging for these documents before the bank will make the necessary transfer to your nominated account in your country.

    Base on this preview you are requested to come down to South Africa for the following reasons:

    (A) For us to see face to face and to enter into agreement by the endorsement of the Memorandum of Understand which will protect our interest to avoid cheating which will be drafted by the lawyer I mentioned to you above.

    (B) To open a non-residential investment account in your name with First National Bank of South Africa upon your arrival, First National Bank of South Africa is going to be the transferr ing bank of this fund into your account in your country. We have finalized things with one of the directors at the First National Bank and he has accepted to help us once we have secured all the necessary documents to cover this fund on your arrival.

    (C) The money will be deposited into the account which you will open here in your name by the help of an indigenous attorney and the banker before onward transfer to your bank account in your Country which you will present your bank account details to the attorney and the banker during your arrival in South Africa.

    But if it could not be possible for you to come down to South Africa then the lawyer will stand on your behalf to effect the smooth run of this transaction but you have to discuss with him on what he should do to effect this transaction fast and also to make sure the money is deposited into your bank account you will open here in South Africa before the bank will transfe r through your account here to your account in your country.

    Finally I await to hear from you soon

    Yours Faithfully,

    Ms. Susan Shabangu

    This is real!! I gave her all of my account information and they deposited $32-million in there just like they said they would. Don’t miss out guys. Give SUSAN SHABANGU anything she asks for. She’ll turn you into a millionaire overnight. (I’m kidding of course!)

  6. aries says:

    i recieved a email regarding this issue,,.my wife found its is scam she said the same testimony of all the victim ..MRS, SUSAN SHABANGU…its a fake!

  7. Ruth B. Rogers says:

    I have been receiving numerous emails from what are supposed to be Mrs. Shubango and the banker, Mr. Robert Smith who is supposed to be with the South Bank in Africa. They have even gone so far as to have me open a savings account into which to deposit the money. They asked for no payment until the money was supposed to have arrived in London in Barclay’s Bank and I have even received a copy letter from Barclay’s bank which says the money is in a transitory account and ready to be transferred in a matter of hours, but a form is needed which will cost $8,200.00 to obtain.

    I had noted a lot of discrepancies in the language and the last several letters have really deteriorated and several have been sent repeatedly since this arrived in the London bank. I sent an inquiry to the bank in Africa to see if they had a Robert Smith employed as what he says he is and also to Barclay’s in London to inquire if they really were holding money for me and sent a copy of the email that was supposedly sent to the guy in Africa. I have not had time to receive a reply to either of them, but expect them to come back saying they do not have anyone by either name at either bank. It is sad that people will try to get money in this manner and you can guess what I’m going to do with all this. I have kept every communication from them along with my answers so if anyone is interested in them I’ll be happy to print them out.. Maybe it will save anyone else from being taken for something by these crooks….Ruth B. Rogers.

  11. Marina Rebollar says:

I never was able to recover my small savings. I reported to the police and higher authorities but got nowhere. I hate that this type of junk is allowed to come into the sanctity of our private emails!! How do they get our emails??

    i too have received similar email of this type same woman in SA ministry i google all suspicious emails and if as above they are proven to be fraudulent i pass them on to the police and ask them to look into these people hopefully one day they will get caught but i am not holding my breathe for that .

  17. harlindp says:

    this has been going on since 1997, i have read almost all the 127 responses i feel sorry for those who don’t google anything that looks suspicious. I hope that whoever is mass mailing these emails get caught.

  18. Jenny says:

    I too have received this email from Mrs SUSAN SHABANGU. Of ‘course’ it is fake! That goes without saying. Though ‘more’ to the point, I cannot believe that the people writing in to this site in the main have no definitive idea on ‘how’ to put their point across articulately & in written understandable English. I have ‘really’ struggled to read & make sense of this strange patois language that is used here.

    It isn’t difficult to spell. The word is underlined in red when it is spelt wrongly. All one has to do is to change it to the correct one. It makes much better reading for others, and one where the whole story about what they’re trying to say makes sense. The written word (in any language) if written & expressed correctly, is beautiful, sincere & a joy to read. Yes, this farcical email insults those of sound mind & of a reasonable intelligence.. Although, to me it’s no worse than the complete & awful misuse of our Mother tongue.

    This is ‘Internet’ speak of the very lowest denomination. Forget Susan Shabangu; Let us first learn how to speak & write & convey our thoughts in a more literate manner. If we can’t do this, then we risk being a perfect training ground as prey for these unhinged individuals who ‘depend’ totally on our uneducated responses in order to compliment their underhanded unethical charlatan way of life.

  19. Rosa Maria says:

    I got this e-mail today from Susan Shabangu. Am I glad I have check this site! What a fraud! Hey people, usually, if it is too good to be true, it is not true.

  20. Desmond Lopes says:

    hey itz all fraud guys if u have passport scan copy of susan just look closely that pic. is attached to it.. see up near her fore head there is another pic below it which has small head top seen there…

  21. Jenny says:

    damn,, i got this email aug 24 but didnt see it untilii today,

    its funny how there are so many wierd people full of BS in this world

    anyways im 17, so i wouldnt help anyways, but watever

    people that do this need to get a life, and learn how to make real money,

    hope no one ever falls innto these kinda fake thinqs

  22. r.manalo says:

    I got the same letter too about this lady and called me when I gave them my number , but after looking her up and google her name I did not realized how much email solicitation articles that she has send. It is so sad that people like her exist and I am glad I did my research.
    thanks to all of your comments and I hope someone reads mine too.IT IS A FAKE AND SCAM

    Dear Sir,

    This message might meet you in utmost surprise; however, it’s just my urgent need for a foreign partner in Australia a country I love most that made me to contact you for this transaction. I am a banker by profession with (CAPITEC BANK) South Africa and currently holding a post as the Director of Auditing and Accounting unit of the bank. I have the opportunity of transferring the left over funds ($22.5million) originally belonging to one of my bank clients Mr. Kurt Kahle who died along with his entire family on 31 July 2000 in a plane crash. You can confirm genuinely the deceased’s death by clicking on this web site
    [snip]
    Meanwhile the whole arrangement and directives needed to put claim over this fund as the bona-fide next of kin to the deceased will be forward to you upon your acceptance, information will be relayed to you as soon as you indicate your interest and willingness to assist us and also benefit your self to this great business opportunity.

    Hence, I am inviting you for a business deal where this money can be shared between us in the ratio of 60% for me and 30% for you, while 10% will be mapped out for expenses if you agree to my proposal.

    Please, you have been advised to keep this as top a secret as I am still in service and intend to retire from service soon after I conclude this deal with you. I will be monitoring the whole situation here in the bank until you confirm the money is in your account and ask me to come down to Australia or to any country you may invite me for subsequent sharing of the fund according to percentages previously indicated and further investment, either in your country or any other country you may advice. All other necessary information will be sent to you when I hear from you. I suggest you get back to me as soon as possible stating your willingness in this deal.

    Furthermore this is 100% risk free I wait to hear from you.

    Best Regard
    DR.JAMES SHABANGU

  24. Timzco Mala says:

    I also received the same mail through both email and post office a day ago and I did my best to assist her but when I went into her face book, I was surprised to read all sorts of comments about her which faded my interest.

    Is this letter from this human being so called Susan? Can a Government’s Minister send such mail containing personals and needs assistance from any body around the whole?

    I think some other people might have collected her true information and deliberately sent it to the internet for the interested people to spend money trying to contact her through email, phone or even fax.

    I am sorry if anyone have received any positive answer to this but my opinion in reference with the peoples’ comments here, is that; I advice nobody to waste your time, energy and effort regarding Susan Shabangu because its a fake news.

  25. Jerry Lucas says:

    I got this e-mail about a week ago and said I could use the money for the program I am producing to help eliminate AIDS in Africa. So I was hoping that I would be able to put the money back into that country and the peope who are living with A IDS there and around the world.

    I told the woman I spoke with about the program I am doing and toled her to look at tennis meets dance extravaganza, the song “Wild Card” and she would see why I would get involved. She told me she did it and was so happy to be in a position to help. I will keep looking for the money

  32. Maggie says:

  33. queen says:

    I also got the same mail ,and the money of beneficiary was allured.But I think it is a trap.Maybe the mail has recovered all of the world,it ‘s horrible—

  34. Ruby says:

    this message even come to China, what a pity. no one caught hie/her?
    my god, this is totally a scam.
    i do not believe it either.

  35. Jan says:

    It is now July, 2010 and the scam continues although the sum has been upped from $3.5 million to $30.5 million.

    Others have referred to this scam artist as “she” but the would-be thief could well be a he.

    Hallo Betrogene,hatte leider erst nach langem Kontakt gemerkt .das
    es sich um Betrug handelt.Erst kurz vor der Transaktion sollte Geld von mir
    gegeben werden.Diesen Leuten gehört eine Gefängnisstrafe.
    Dachte wirklich daran zu Helfen den als Redakteur von lowo.ch bin ich das meinem Ruf schuldig.

    `´E incrivel como as pessoas acham que outras são completamente Idiotas a ponto de cair em uma parada desta. Eu recebo no minimo dois email deste por semana. Este tipo de milagre tá dificil de acontecer hoje em dia. Deveria usar sua imaginação para coisas mais uteis neste mundo.

  38. Lily says:

    Whoever do all these nonsense works, I heartily suggest them to stop it and use your time for creative works. There are a lot of things that you can do for the cause of humanity and prosperity of the human kind. Think it and pave your path to global popularity. Wish you all the best.

  39. TheEagle says:

    It wouldn’t be the first time in history that the real person pretends to be someone else. Hey guys – get yourselves together!
    If the potential benefit is great enough, everyone seems to loose their minds! If it was about a 1,000 USD everyone just would have laughed about it and happily erased the email.
    Look at how much effort everyone puts into this obvious and stupid matter. Nigeria started as host country for this kind of emails years ago, RSA is now catching up.
    Go find your own explanation why in a country, and yes, a democracy like RSA, smth like this is possible for years – someone pretending to be a high profile person and nothing is happening to put an end to ……. and for those who are a little into history: Honi soit qui mal y pense….
    My opinion for the future: these emails will be coming in for some years to come. If you out there are trusting enough to even consider it as being real. I just got one last week – with a new job title of hers, of course ;-)

    Cheers, TheEagle

  43. George says:

    It is amazing that these types of emails are allowed to go out. I am sure that someone will send money. If not, they wouldn’t do it.

  44. A girl says:

    It’s all scam!!! I got the same message today as well. I guess people have nothing else to do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  45. Gervas says:

    I got the fraud email today. It appears that Mrs Susan let her password go astray. Thus, it was possible for scammers to manipulate it to this extent of creating the so called Susan communication group. Soon or later we, “friends of Susan”, shall become real friends and form a kind of communication network.

    I advise everyone, not to let your password go offhand. The consequence of negligence can be exorbitantly immeasurable.

    Take care.

  46. Hanahn says:

    From Paragraph 3 or 6 (depending on the version of this letter):
    “This fund emanated as a result of an over-invoiced contract which he executed with the Government of South Africa… I am afraid that the government of South Africa might start to investigate on contracts awarded from 1990 to date… they will confiscate it and seize his assets here in South Africa…”

    In other words, “my dead husband/father embezzled the funds, and I don’t want to give it back.”

    This is the very definition of Money Laundering. If it were a true story, you would be guilty as a co-conspirator against the South African government to get involved. Yes, I mean you could go to jail!

    Given the number of innocent black South Africans who were robbed of their natural resources and human rights, as well as those who gave their lives in the fight against the government of apartheid, why would you want to help an individual abscond with (and personally receive) money that is so vital to their sovereignty.

    What makes you so special?

    For those who lost money pursuing this: Quit crying. You tried to aid and abet fraud, yourself.

  47. Paul E says:

    I am not going to cry that I have been cheated out of my money , I have not sent to them a penny ! The money is there… they should know, — they should pay for ithe expenses.

  48. Paul E says:

    Continued part: II
    We can not be sceptical of all these Emails,
    As a matter of known history at the end of the South African Aperthaid, the newly elekted government decreed that all white land Lord-Farmers had to give up their land to be parcelled out to the Black field workers. Some farmers had a good sence and sold their land or borrowed hevily from the Banks agains the Deed.
    After the South Africans all or most of the African Nations like Zimbabve followed
    suit and Confiscated the lands and income properties, just like the Communists did in the Eastern Europiand Nations after th Russian example fo the 1917 Revolution. Some sold their farm or borrowed agins it and steshed the money in South African Security Establishments like Self storage places charging $5000.00 per month storage fee.
    To make matters worst, South Africans fearing the influx of capital will have to much influance on the economy, it become illegal for the Immigrants from those countries to spend their money in South Africa.
    Many of the farmers Refused to give up their farms and most who resisted, gotten killed on the spot, and it was legal. The wife and the children were let go and evenually the government compensated for the Loss of property, and many of the people have taken refuge in South Africa to find that they can not invest their money and the storage companies where eating a way the Capital.
    So the best thing to do was to look for a partner overseas preferably in a free country like the US, Australia and Canada or UK. All that manuvering has taken place begining about 20 years ago and most of the money have come out of South African Safe deposit houses.
    There is nothing alse to do now for the Hustlers , knowing the history, they are aware that those days people where freely sending moneys to cover the incidental expenses. They are now attemting to extract moneys without money in the waults pretending that there is still some money with ever more saddening sap stories. It is hard but you have to develope a way to filter out the crocked ones.
    Very truly yours.

  49. Paul E says:

    I believe you, you are all so smart, — not so fast, may be hind sight!
    Or may be you are just like me wished that it was truth, that there was a ticket a way out of your neighborhoo into a gated comunity for the kids to grow up in.!
    I remember in my head I had the notion to wanting to believe that luck just flew into my Email address. I cooperated with Suzan Shabangu, and pretended that it was not espcially bad that on the Statement of deposit the signatures were not resembling the Printed Name of the signaturees or that they where not legible scribles …I just wanted to beleive that there was all that money in fact deposited in the drowers of that Security company in Johanesburg. After all, can not everyone have a signature like John Hancock- even he admitted that he practiced to develope a great signature..!
    But there came the time of the crescendo of our affair with Suzan Shabengu, when she and her Partner Mr. Bongnany (he was the real perpetrator here) at the Bank asked for me to pay the transfer fee . It was not much only pay 0.025% of the money to be transfered. That comes to how much after 30 million? = it comes to 7500.00 dollar US “only” It was only the better part of my two (2) monts of net earnings at my most productive part of my life. Wait a second Suzan, —
    I tried to fenagle my way out of my obligation of this part of the partnership.
    I suspected that there was something like this come out after she described in detail that she paid over $30K for legal fees for the “Clearance Certificate”..!
    This so called “Clearance Certificate” is nothing alse than a requirement by the US Patriot act of 2001 (ala George Bush) of a simple statement attesting by official of the Sending institution that the Asset to be transferred is not a product of money laundering or monies from drug dealers, or that the money does not come from any of the Islamic countries or from a radical Islamic group.! That is all the Treasury agents may ask for –said the US Congress –othervise they would stiffen and obstruct the inflow of capital investment to the US. !! (31 CFR 103.110 et al.)
    So I was suggesting to Suzan Shabangoo that she borrowed back from her attorney of “extortion” some of her money to pay for the transfer fee.
    I have lost half a night sleep over the question that I should send that money or not, and if I do not send it, I should never forgive myself…! She insisted that she has no way to pay the transfer fee that I should be so nice to come up with te fee.
    So I wrote to her: dear Suzan Shabangu, I will be honest with you that I am on this side of the Ocean have not seen yet a credible evidence that there is all that money waiting for you to put your hands on, You on the other hand know wether there is that money or not, therefore I let you figure it out how to pay for the transfer.
    I do not care if you go and walk the street to hussle up the money or what not,
    I can not in good faith be asked to send $7500.00 to you. Besides you did not even send me a certain decent address where am I to send it.
    Thank you Suzan , God bless you.
    Paul

    FROM MRS. SUSAN SHABANGU
    MINISTER OF MINING,
    SOUTH AFRICA.
    E-mail:mrs.susanshabangugov1966@gmail.com
    PLS CONTACT MY SON MR, TERRY SHABANGUN

    Dear Sir/Madam,

    First, let me start by introducing my self as MRS SUSAN SHABANGU , a mother of three children and the Former Deputy Minister of Safety and Security since 29th April 2004 to 11th May 2009 under the auspices of the President of South Africa MR THABO MBEKI. Now Minister of Mining under the leadership of MR JACOB ZUMA President of South Africa.

    After due deliberation with my children, I decided to contact you for your assistance in standing as a beneficiary to the sum of US $14. 5M (Fourteen Million, Five Thousand US Dollars Only Hundred).

    You can view my profile at my website [snip] click on, Contact Information, then click on Deputy Minister, and click on Safety and Security finally, click on my name Susan Shabangu and read about me.

    THE PROPOSAL, after the swearing in ceremony making me the Deputy Minister of Safety and Security, my husband Mr. Ndelebe Shabangu died while he was on an official trip to Trinidad and Tobago in 1996.
    After his death, I discovered that he had some funds in a doll are account which amounted to the sum of US $14.5M with a security and finance institution in South Africa of which I will divulge information to you when I get your full consent and support to go for a change of beneficiary and subsequent transfer of the funds into you a comfortable and conducive account of your choice.

    This fund emanated as a result of an over-invoiced contract which he executed with the Government of South Africa . Though I assisted him in getting this contract but I never knew that it was over-invoiced by him. I am afraid that the government of South Africa might star t to investigate on contracts awarded from 1990 to date. If they discover this money in his bank account, they will confiscate it and seize his assets here in South Africa and this will definitely affect my political career in government.

    I want your assistance in opening an account with bankers through my banker so that this fund could be wired into your account directly without any hitch. As soon as the fund gets to your account, you are expected to move it immediately into another personal bank account in your country. I will see to it that the account is not traced from South Africa. As soon as you have confirmed the fund into your account, I will send my eldest son with my Attorney to come to your country to discuss on business investments.

    For your assistance, I am offering you 20%. However, you have to assure me and also be ready to go into agreement with me that you will not elope with my fund. If you agree to my terms, kindly as a matter of urgency send me an email. Due to my sensitive position in the South African Government, PLEASE DO NOT CALL ON THE OFFICE LINE, BECAUSE OF THE SENSITIVITY OF THIS TRANSACTION EXCEPT OF THE ABOVE DIRECT LINE.

    I prefer you send me email or call my Son Terry Shabangu. All correspondence must be by my Private mail address (mrs.susanshabangugov1966@gmail.com ) if you want to speak with my Banker that is fine and okay by me. You will have to send down you private telephone /fax number so that I can forward it to him to reach you from time to time this is for security reasons. Please I do not need to remind you of the need for absolute Confidentiality of this transaction must succeed. If you do not feel comfortable with this transaction, do not hesitate to discontinue.

    Thanks for your anticipated co-operation and my regards to your family.

    Yours
    Faithfully,
    MRS. SUSAN SHABANGU
    MINISTER OF MINING,
    SOUTH AFRICA
    CONTACT MY SON MR TERRY SHABANGUN

    this is the new letter that i recieved dated back last Sept 25 ’09

    HOAX HOAX AND ANOTHER THING.. HOAX!

  63. Sansg says:

    this is the sneakiest email i have ever got. this really sucks. how come this……send email to me middle of nowhere….i didn’t believe this email but i did replied but i finally knew that i was simply wasting my time..What jerks!

  64. Yako says:

    Hi Folks !
    Got the same letter today !
    Of course, I wont answer back: it’s a fraud, I know it for sure.
    Last year my boss (imagine, my boss, one the most respected professional in his area of work ie finance…) was to the point to send the money to get the BIG money!

    I warned him ; it told me that he called in Africa and everything seems ok… “if people give their phone number and don’t hide, it’s not a trap… he said).
    Well, at the end, he listened to me and didn’t go further.

    Last but least, the letter travels around the world : I’m in Paris, France. So hello from the Paris lads and don’t answer to this stuff of a letter, ok ?
    Take care,
    Yako

  65. yaya says:

    wow, so mane people people fall for this…. common sense will tell you this is a huge scam to get your money…. wake up people who the heck is gonna trust a total stranger in another country with millions of dollars of their money…. come on y’all cannot be serious (those of you whom are questioning if this is a scam or not) i get these emails all the time… they are funny to me people really think there are some trusting, kind people out there that would believe that they was chosen to hold all this money randomly….. not true….. sounds like another scam from those crooked clowns in Nigeria…. i feel bad for the Nigerians who are good hard working people these jerks give them all a bad name……

  66. John says:

    These people are uneducated and entry-level criminals. Their style of scamming people is very weak and obvious. I think they are a group of people involved in using a similar letter to defraud people. I think my son does a better job at getting $10 from me than these idiots. They should be found and prosecuted to the fullest extent the law allows. I believe they could be scammed themselves if someone tried just to expose their identities and put it all over the net with their pictures. They show these scam artist on “MSNBC Investigates” all the time and they are usually from Nigeria. You should check it out and you too will see these morons in a hidden camera then exposed.

  67. cathy says:

    this is fraud… i receive from minister for the first but from other person is many time. for the first time i give my identification after that i receved this alot so i knew it is something wrong… so please dun trust that all. please….

  68. Josefita says:

    sorry, but I’m going to write in spanish because I am chilean…

    bien, hace unos dias mi padrastro recibió un mail con esta carta, habla de que hay en juego 15 millones de dolares y pide ayuda ya que si el gobierno en que trabaja, que es el de Sud Africa, sabe acerca de este dinero se lo quitaran. Esto es como una herencia que le dejo su marido en una cuenta…

    mi pregunta es ¿como averiguaron el mail de mi padrastro? ademas no creo que alguien llegue a caer en este fraude ya que es evidente q es falso…

    espero que sea difundido algun comunicado en facebook, ya que es tan famoso, para que la gente de todo el mundo sepa que es una farsa y para que la pobre señora susan shabangu deje de ser molestada y que su numbre deje de ser usado… espero que puedan entender mi mensaje

    English:
    But a few days ago my stepfather received a mail with this letter, speaks at stake $ 15 million and asks for help because if the government works, who is from South Africa, knows about this money as removed. This is like a legacy that I leave her husband in an account …
    my question is how to find the mail from my stepfather? You do not think anyone gets to fall in this scam because q is obviously false …

    I hope it is released some statement on facebook, because it is so famous, so people around the world to know that is a sham and that the poor lady susan Shabangu longer be disturbed and that the N. ° longer be used … I hope they can understand my message

  69. umbangjuli says:

    My Dear Juli,

    You seem to not understood my situation here and the nature of this transaction. I would prefer you come here so you can be well aware of the situation one on one. I did not expect you to assist financially in this transaction. This latest fee came as a surprise to me. I have already spent a lot of money in documentation of the transfer, insurance coverage, securing transfer approvals, etc, all in your name. I also oiled some palms here in order to secure an early approval in your name for this fund transfer. Asking you to assist in paying this last fee whould not surprise you if you truly want to assist, in order to have the bank transfer this money to you without any other delay. Alternatively, you can come and pay the fee personally and also witness the transfer of the money to your account before you leave.

    But if you are not capable of this huge transaction we may look for another capable person.

    Regards,

    Susan

  70. umbangjuli says:

    Dear Mr.Juli & Family,

    Today is sunday and i have just returned from the church service and was able to read your email. It’s a thing of joy to ready your mail.

    Well, dear Mr.Juli, i am like a mother to you and your beautiful wife. Born 1956 february 28, you can see that i,m getting old and can never decieve anybody but to help someone who wants to deceive another person.Anyhow, you have proved to me that going to business investment with you will be a very successful one.

    I am such a person who before before i take up any important issue must pray and meet with my pastors for advice.When we begin this journey earlier i contacted my pastor and told him about you. He said that i must give him a month after one month our pastor called me one day and said to me Mrs.Susan, i would like to give you an answer for what you explained to me one month back.

    He now started to explained to me that i must not waste time to proceed for my business investment proposal with you.He said that you Mr.Juli is a very honest and trustworthy person who will never disapoint me.It was after that day that i built my 100% trust in you.I am a member of the African national congress{ ANC} with my late husband.We went to exile both during the apartheid regime that handed power to the first civil government in 1994. But my two children Mary and Dr.Joseph Terry was born in exile.I was appointed for the first time in 1996 by the then Mr.Thabo Mbeki government.

    Dear Mr.Juli, my father was killed by the apartheid police for answering his cellphone in the present of a ploice officers.He was arrested and detained.A week later we received a report that passed my father have passed away in his detention cell.Also, my mother a domestic worker was shot dead by the apartheid police officer for working late in the night.By then no back man or women are allowed to cross whereever the white man lives.

    Dear Honest and trusted Juli, my stories is very big but don’t want to remember them.Today, when i look at women whom their husbands maltreats, it pains and that’s why i suggested that i must arrange to establish a charibale organisation so that some women, widows, disabled can have a relief.

    Like earlier told you, i am getting old and will definitely retires next year to enable me have rest.Please, you don’t need to panic, you are in the right place.We are already one family.My son Joseph and her wife travelled to the Democratic Republic oF congo and will soon be home.Also, i have already inform him to call you as soon as he returns back.

    Kindly send my special greetings to your wife and children.

    May our Lord continue to bless you all.

    Remain blessed,

    Yours sincerely,

    Mrs.Susan

    My Dear Sophie,

    I wish to inform you that I have been able to transfer my money to
    Zurich in Switzerland through the help of one Mr. Jack Robertson. He is a
    very good man.

    Well, I just write to inform you that I left behind
    US$100,000 for you with my former Banker in South
    Africa. It’s just that I can not forget how you are the
    very first person I contacted to help me and till
    today, I still don’t know what went wrong.

    Anyway, I have forgotten about the past and all I am
    doing now is to make sure I invest properly my money.
    Reply me now and I will give you the contact details
    of that my former Banker for you to contact him and he
    will transfer the US$100,000 to you.

    Best regards,

    Mrs. Susan Shabangu

    —————————————————————————————————————

    And there’s much more, she also asked to see my passport and a whole bunch of things : S except, i never gave it to her, cause it all just sounded SOOOOOOOOOOOO fake.

  74. Limbs says:

    I have received this Mrs. Susan Shabangu email. I didnot think twice, but to reply to the sender in this way, “TO HELL WITH YOUR STUPID MONEY!”. I have had several of these scams and they all look similar-TOO MUCH LIGHT AT THE END OF A TUNNEL. It should be clear that this is not THE END OF THE TUNNEL but LIGHTS OF A LOCOMOTIVE MOVING TOWARDS YOU in the tunnel

  75. Dena says:

    Yes, i got the email today…WOW these people go through alot to get money out of our pockets…and to use GOD for the help…..THATS REALLY SAD!!!

  76. Toni says:

    I just recd this email today and decided to do some research. Yea I was hoping it was valid, I could use the funds. I’m very thankful of websites like this one!

  77. jokoko says:

    I received this email today, believe it, it’s scam and this originated from UK and Africa by African crooks mostly Nigerians. I’m a Nigerian myself and sure this is from them

  78. MIchael says:

    I can’t believe that most of you people have the slightest doubt that this is a scam!

    Of course its a scam! The reason these scams exist is because they try to play on the good hearts of people just like you.

    Please do not believe that someone would just put millions of dollars into your bank account.

    Good luck and be safe!

    First, let me start by introducing myself as Mrs.Susan Shabangu, a mother of three children and the deputy minister of safety and security since 29th April 1996 to date under the auspices of the president of South Africa Mr. Thabo Mbeki.

    After due deliberation with my children, I decided to contact you for your assistance in standing as a beneficiary to the sum of us$30.m (Thirty million, united states dollars only) after the swearing in ceremony making me the deputy minister of safety and security, my husband Mr. Ndelebe Shabangu died while he was on an official trip to Trinidad and Tobago in 1996.

    After his death, i discovered that he had some funds in a dollar account which amounted to the sum of us$30.m with a security and finance institution in south africa of which i will divulge information to you when i get your full consent and support to go for a change of beneficiary and subsequent transfer of the funds into you a comfortable and conducive account of your choice.

    This fund emanated as a result of an over-invoiced contract which he executed with the government of south africa .Though i assisted him in getting this contract but i never knew that it was over-invoiced by him.I am afraid that the government of south africa might start to investigate on contracts awarded from 1990 to date.If they discover this money in his bank account, they will confiscate it and seize his assets here in south africa and this will definitely affect my political career in government.

    I want your assistance in opening an account with bankers through my banker so that this fund could be wired into your account directly without any hitch. As soon as the fund gets to your account, you are expected to move it immediately into another personal bank account in your country.

    I will see to it that the account is not traced from South Africa . As soon as you have confirmed the fund into your account, I will send my eldest son with my attorney to come to your country to discuss on business investments. For your assistance, I am offering you 25% you have to assure me and also be ready to go into agreement with me that you will not elope with my fund. If you agree to my terms, kindly as a matter of urgency send me an email. Due to my sensitive position in the South African government.

    Please do not call on the office line, because of the sensitivity of this transaction except of the above direct line; you can contact my son Alex Shabangu direct line +27-783-317-554, I prefer you send me email than call. All correspondence must be by email to my private email address, susanshabangu11@gala.net If you want to speak with my banker, that is fine and okay by me. You will have to send down you private telephone /fax number so that I can forward it to him to reach you from time to time this is for security reasons. Please I do not need to remind you of the need for absolute confidentiality of this transaction must succeed. If you do not feel comfortable with this transaction, do not hesitate to discontinue.
    Thanks for your anticipated co-operation and my regards to your family.

    Ex-Dept. Minister safety & security

    Very entertaining! I especially liked how I didn’t even have to type in her full name for the Google search engine to register what I was looking for. Not as intimate as it should be, considering the request is suppose to be ulta-confidential. These people put so much effort into scamming. If they would spend just as much effort in their good work ethics, they might have been very successful by now. What a bunch of losers!

  81. Виктор says:

    Данный пост по-настоящему помог мне принять очень нужное для меня решение. За что автору отдельное спасибо! Жду от Вас новых сообщений!

  85. Gcobani says:

    Hello
    MRS.S. Shabangu, I am here by to ask if you haven’t send me any message from my email address regarding business proposal. Reason i have gone through several investigation trying to find some clues if any one could have send a message like that into my email address. Further note its a concern because it seems to me there are scums out there here in Africa trying to use my Identity against me to You.

  86. bob says:

    Listen good people. All these emails are scams and the scammers are trying to get you to send money for insurance or bonded receipt. Please do not send them any money.

    Delete any of these emails.

    Remember no one would give away this sum of money. No such thing as a free lunch.

  87. Shawn says:

    I got this email last night and I laughed my butt off after i calmed down from my computer waking me up. I once played along with a similar scam about some email lottery from the UK. Turned out it was from northern Africa!! LMMFAO!

    I played them til they call me asking for the money and when they did…Sorry I don’t have the money just give it to someone else who can use it…boo hoo. They still tried force it on me…hahahaha! I mean like WOW! It was fun while it lasted.

  88. jonh says:

    Don’t believe this! and think if you have millions to give why you need ask for more money, this sound stupid. Use your common sense…

  89. Jose says:

    Yo recibi una carta asi, la conteste y recibi una segunda carta, es increible que estos estafadores sigan con esto y que hayan quienes caigan en su trampa, estoy seguro que si le sigo la corriente de seguro llegare al punto en que piden un x monto de dinero para realizar la transferencia. De hecho la Sra Susan existe y tiene un puesto gubernamental, pero si algo es seguro es que la o el que escribe no es la Sra Shabangu. Gracias

  90. lawrence says:

  94. equs says:

    Yo soy mexicano, vivo en México, (escribo en Español, por favor tomense la molestia de traducirlo al inglés o cualquier idioma) . Yo he recibido estos Emails, de esta y otras mas personas y dizque empresas o loterias, todas las he ido coleccionando, porque me divierte leer las estupideces que te dicen y creen que habemos una infinidad de idiotas que les vamos a creer, no dudo que haya habido algunos que lo creen y caen en el garlito y seguramente les piden dinero para los trámites para recibir su millonario ofrecimiento, si así fuera yo ya seria uno de los hombres mas ricos del mundo recibiendo todos los millones que ofrecen, solo con aceptar darles una cuenta para la mentada transacción. Los he coleccionado para en un momento dado contestar a todos ellos en conjunto y decirles que los idiotas son ellos, pero no han de ser tan idiotas porque no debe faltar el crédulo inocentre que se va con la finta. Lo único que me gustaria saber como es que logran meterse a tu correo, alguien me lo puede aclarar?. Congratulaciones.

  95. denise says:

  96. Belinda says:

    I also got this e-mail yesterday. So me being the untrusting person that I am called and spoke directly to SUSAN SHABANGU, in South Africa. She was not even aware that someone was using her name let alone putting the name of her government in a scam such as this. She was not to thrilled when I sent her a copy of the e-mail. She thanked me for making her aware of this and said that she was going to do what she could to stop this type of fraud coming out of her country.

    So just so you know guys this is a BIG SCAM!!!!!

  100. carol says:

    I have just received this email and I live in Australia. This is the third email I have had in the past three weeks, two telling me I have won a million dollars on email lotteries which I have never entered or heard of and requesting all my personal details to claim the prize and now this one. What am I going to do with all of this money coming my way from complete strangers!!!

  101. salim says:

    Thanks for your message which I STILL wonder how it get to my address.
    How ever i badly need your help.
    Kindly contact me through my address above.
    Thanks
    Salim

  102. ashraf ismail says:

    i just received it today the same e mail, i think the sender is too stupid, no one can believe that way, because why somebody select you from 7 billion people to give you that offer in spite of he or she does not know you even by name.
    i received something like this through tag and some other sites, it is a fraud.

    be careful

  103. buttons says:

    This scam was a little better, the first one that I received was pitiful. However, this will not be the last one.

  104. Lakisha says:

    I receive information like this the first time in my life about three to four months ago and thank God I didn’t follow it up because it really is to good to be true. This is what they call trafficking and that is illegal in the United States of America. Thanks for the offer but no thanks I have better things to do than to get intertwined in a scandal.

  105. Zainal says:

    Hi guys… it is really a fraud, it would not happening in reality they wont only to get fees for paying lawyers etc. etc.
    Simply skip it and close it forever. Believe me.

  106. Eva says:

    As vezes me pergunto porque esse tipo de informativo acontece?,será verdade?essa operação realmente existe?, caso isso não tenha nenhuma complicação judicial ..sem problema.

  107. Mr.Joe John Rodriguez says:

    I am honored that Mrs.Susan Shabangu would pick me in her trust to help in such a generous offer. For the Dept. Safety and Security of South Africa to ask for help from an American or anybody from another country is not unheard of. You have to trust somebody and if you can’t trust the Dept. Safety and Security of South Africa, who can you trust? :)

  108. Nae' says:

    Hey you guys,

    I too received this email a couple of days ago, and after responding to the first email and receiving a second email from this fraudulent idiot I decided to do some research. I had asked the scammer how my email came to her attention and she said “I got your email from South Africa-International email directory online.” So, I tried to find this so called directory and couldn’t. Then I went to the yahoo directory and noticed that yahoo isn’t even in Africa, let alone South Africa. I replied to her second message saying:

    It’s still very hard for me to trust that this isn’t a scam, because a lot of people but a lot of time and effort into scamming people and making things look legit. So if you could send me the site that I can go to directly to verify where you got my email address from I would appreciate that. Also, before I trust you with my personal information I need to be more assured that this is not a trick, and then I can begin to trust you and this transaction. I’m not sure exactly what you can do to convince me, as I am still somewhat uneasy about this because it is the Internet. Maybe you could wire a smaller amount of a few thousand to me via western union and then I’ll be a believer. I too am I strong believer in God, and I believe sometimes crazy blessings occur, but I also believe in wisdom and this situation isn’t something that either one of us should take lightly. In this country there are a lot of problems with scams and identity theft, and I personally do want want to be a victim of neither one of those things (as I know people who have been taken advantage of in that way). You can trust me, and I know that you can trust me, I am just trying to be sure that I too can trust you. I know that you’re reluctant to speak on the phone so that the calls aren’t traced, but aren’t you equally as worried about the emails being traced? Also, I read in your email that once the transaction has taken place you will send your banker and your son into the U.S. to make investments for you. Well why is it that you wouldn’t just have them come out here to stay for a time period, and set up their own accounts and have them do the transaction for you? I don’t know, hopefully you can clarify the questions that I have, as this is an opportunity that could prove to be beneficial to us both.

    Thank you.

    Then I decided to search the name and see if anyone had reported it as a scam, and sure enough it has. I mean does she think that Americans are stupid or something? That is a terrible profession to have, preying on the hopes of people (especially those that really need the money), and using God in the messages pretending to have faith. She’s fraudulent all around because if she was really a believer she wouldn’t be doing this, and God will definitely have his way with her (and it won’t be pretty). I’m happy that I did my homework before even taking her somewhat seriously. I’m sorry for everyone who was deceived by this treachery and hope that justice is served. I must admit I am curious as to what her explanation to my questions will be. I may post it if I get a response just for the hell of it.

    Sincerely,
    Nae-Nae

    to you as a big surprise, but I believe it is only a day that people meet
    and become great friends and business partners This is a personal email
    directed to you and I request that it be treated as such it is not a hoax
    mail please.

    After due deliberation with my children, I decided to contact you for your
    assistance in standing as a beneficiary to the sum of US$3.5M (Three Million
    Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars Only) First, Let me start by
    introducing my self, I am MRS SUSAN SHABANGU, a mother of three children and
    the Deputy Minister Safety and Security since 1st April 1996 to date under
    the President of South Africa MR THABO MBEKI. You can view my profile at my

    After the swearing in ceremony making me Deputy Minister Safety and
    Security, my husband Mr. Ndelebe Shabangu died while he was on an official
    trip to Trinidad and Tobago in 2002.After his death, I discovered that he
    had some funds in a dollar account which mounted to the sum of US$3.5M with
    FINANCE SECURITY HOUSE. This fund emanated as a result of an over-invoiced
    contract which he executed with the Government of South Africa. Though I
    assisted him in getting this contract but I never knew that it was
    over-invoiced by him. I am afraid that the government of South Africa might
    start to investigate on contracts awarded from 1998 to date. If they
    discover this money in his bank account, they will confiscate it and seize
    his assets here in South Africa and this will definitely affect my political
    career in government.

    I want your assistance in clearing this money from FINANCE SECURITY HOUSE.
    As soon as the fund is cleared, you are expected to move it immediately into
    another personal bank account in your country. I will see to it that the
    account is not traced from South Africa. As soon as you have confirmed the
    fund into your account, I will send my eldest son with my Attorney to come
    to your country to discuss on business investments.

    For your assistance, I am offering you (Seven Hundred Thousand United States
    Dollar Only) however, you have to assure me and also be ready to go into
    agreement with me that you will not elope with my fund. If you agree to my
    terms, kindly as a matter of urgency send me an email. Due to my sensitive
    position in the South African Government, I would not WANT you to call me on
    phone or send a fax to me, If you want to speak with my Attorney, that is
    fine and okay by me. His chambers will be representing my interest with you.
    All correspondence must be made either to my Attorney Barrister James
    Galadima chambers. I will also like you to give me your contact address,
    telephone and fax and email to enable my Attorney call or reach you from
    time to time.

    Confidentiality if this transaction must succeed. YOU MUST NOT CALL ME! If

  114. Sandi says:

    I just recieved a email from her today for the first time and went to research more about it because I knew it sounded like BS and found this web page. I think it is great that you guys have posted stuff about her on here so that other people can see that they are not the only ones that they are trying to scam. I hope the person gets busted.

  115. daza says:

    I have received this and i gave them my phone number because i was moving house the next week.

    I am in Australia and these people are in nigeria and i kept playing them on the phone i even asked to speak to someone who spoke proper English and they couldn’t do it. I went to the toilet twice and put them on hold 3 times for about 10 minutes each time and they were still on the phone MUST HAVE COST THEM A FORTUNE THAT INTERNATIONAL PHONE CALL TO AUSTRALIA.

    So i scammed them they would have lost a bit of money and I’ve moved house so they don’t have my phone number.

  116. S. Dean says:

    Are there actually people who believe this bs and send money to these scams? south africa yet! also some wonderful folks in nigeria want to share their immense wealth these days but hey, they have to have your money first! if they had all that money to give away they could find a place for it without emailing an unknown american who might “scam” them out of it–hahahaha.

  117. jennelle jim says:

    My word, I can’t people would do this. i mean i get these letters too. wow, i cant believe how many people would have the balls to do this. that is just messed up. would that be a SIN.

  118. Zetua says:

    I have received this message. It had told me to download a document which I denied after my knowledge of it being a scam. Who is stealing her identity and why? Thanks for telling this to the world and hopefully she’ll/he’ll be caught soon.

  119. KING RICHARD says:

    That lying scammer! I am glad I have done my homework on this before sending any money. This gave me a lot of insight and I hope the FBI catches that devious criminal! As a matter of fact, he better hope I don’t catch him first!

    It is a shame that crooks waste such time to scam people out of their hard earning money.

    Yours Truly,

    The Reaper…

  122. Andja says:

    Mrs Shabangu wrote me, and even called me. I promised to help but only after a video chat with her which she has refused, of course.
    Poor woman, i mean the real Susan, I wish I could let her know about her identity being stolen

  123. Jaimie says:

    I’ve received a number of e-mails like this one over a fairly long period of time, which suggests that this person is still out there. Why are these things not traced and the perpetrators put behind bars? It seems that it would be simple enough to set up a trap for them….

  124. Terrell says:

    Susan Shabangu is a real person and she truely is the Ministery of Safety and Security in South Africa, but the real Ms. Shabangu would not send this email. Plus this is wire fraud whether it was a real email or not.

  125. Amber says:

    I have received several different letters such as this including this same letter, they are all the same…phony. so don’t fall into their stuff or you’ll just sink in deeper!

  126. DORA says:

    How you are today my dear and hope all is OK with you? My name is Ms. Susan Shabangu a mother of three children and the Deputy Minister of Safety and Security (South Africa) by auspices of the President of South Africa Mr. Thabo Mbeki. After due deliberation with my Son Godson Shabangu, I decided to contact you for your assistance in standing as my new foreign oversea business partner also to stand for me as a beneficiary to the sum of (Ten Million United States Dollars) and I have every documentation and proof about this fund. I would like us to know and trust each other very well also will like you to be my oversea foreign business partner and help me conclude my project which I and my late husband (Mr. Ndelebe Shabangu) was planning to set up in oversea before he died with our foreign oversea business partner, they died on an official trip to Trinidad and Tobago.

    My late husband was one of the head members of African National Congress ( A.N.C) leading party here in South Africa also was a contractor before he died, he was known as Mr. Ndelebe Shabangu. After the swearing in ceremony making me the deputy minister of safety and security, I and my late husband sold our buildings here in South Africa in other to invest the money in oversea after he has completed a contract which I also assisted him in getting from the government when contracts were been awarded.

    The Sum we raised after selling of these buildings here in south Africa amounted to the total sum of (Ten Million United States Dollars) which was deposited with a security and finance institution here in South Africa of which I will divulge more information and give you all the proves and documents when I get your full consent and support to be my foreign business partner and help me invest this Ten Million United States Dollars there in your country in any good business. As I am working with the government of South Africa and don’t know much about investment there in your country so I will like you to be my fund manager there in your country. I don’t want anything that will affect my political career in the government, so I will advice you keep absolute confidentiality of this transaction until we conclude the investment there in your country. I will offer you 25% of the total sum for your assistance in this personal project also sign an agreement with you if you will be capable to be my foreign business partner.

    If you do not feel comfortable with this transaction, please do not hesitate to discontinue. Thanks for your anticipated co-operation and my regards to your family.

    Yours faithfully,

    Ms. Susan Shabangu
