VERY EASY WAY TO SPOT A SCAM
Submitted by alentejano77 on Mon, 2010/02/01 - 20:40
If you receive any email that mentions a UK phone number starting with +4470, it is almost guaranteed to be a scam. Usually the presence of a +44 70 number in a 419 scam email means you're dealing with criminals based in Nigeria. Do not reply to such emails!
The scammer most likely is NOT based in the UK. +44 70 numbers belong to international call forwarding services. These services make it possible for scammers to hide the fact that they are based in Nigeria or other countries in Africa, while the scam victim will believe they're dealing with someone in the UK. Very few if any legitimate individuals use these numbers. Banks, law offices, immigration officials, etc. never use +44 70 numbers. We have not come across any legitimate UK businesses yet that use +44 70 numbers. There only visible user base are scammers in Nigeria and elsewhere. It is a perfect mystery why the UK authorities allow these services to continue operating.
UK phone numbers starting with '70' are "Personal numbering" in the "Find me anywhere" range. Charges for calls to these numbers are not distance-dependent. They can cost as much as UKL 0.50 (USD 0.90) per minute to call and can forward the call to virtually any phone number in the world. Forwarding numbers can be set up for free and completely anonymously via websites such as uknumbers.com.
In most cases when you call one of these numbers the phone that starts ringing will actually be a mobile phone somewhere in Nigeria, as the UK number has been programmed to auto-forward calls to another number. These +44 70xx numbers are used as a redirector service to obscure the fact that the person taking the call is not actually based in Europe. The UK number is used to lend credibility to the scam. Unfortunately the authorities in the UK do not seem to be taking action to shut down such phone numbers.

Sa'lam Giorgi
I am Suliman Al Rajhi of Rajhi partners, I am a principal Investor.
What I need from you is a direct loan or Joint venture business
relationship where I can remain as a silent Investor and you or the
hotel owners comes in and manage the funds which I will release to
them . And this was the main reason why I asked you of the people I am
dealing with because I do not want to deal with representatives or
middle men,but the only option I have for you is that we can sign an
agreement between me and you to include you in the deal where by you
stand to gain some percentage of the funds which I will release for
the man that is in charge to run the hotel.
Mr.Giorgi I am comfortable with the rate of daily interest of hotels
in your country and that there is still a bright future for the
business to be thriving. But as a business man these are what I need
from you to establish this venture.
1.I need the person in charge whom I can work closely with, who will
be able to take the responsibility of handling my funds, so that I
will direct the person to my personal assistant who will prepare all
necessary documentation that will help facilitate the fund release and
after which my assistant will approve of me to release the funds to
the person this was why I asked for the owners or an entrepreneur who
will take it upon him self to handle the business and manage the funds
appropriately.
2. I asked if there was a business plan so that I will know in plane
facts and figure the exact amount needed to invest to bring this
venture to reality, the actual amount needed to make it happen.
3. I am also concerned about the way this will be done , I mean the
whole process of getting the funds, and establishing it. I am an Arab
investor and you must agree with me that the relationship between the
middle-east and the west is strained now and that the economy of the
west especially Europe is plummeting now, so that is my concern
because I will not want any form of publicity or involvements with any
governments or such firms, I am rather very care full when dealing
with the west but this doesn't mean that there are no people from the
west to trust but I am very careful and rather choose to remain silent
and have my assistants in Europe establish the business and approve a
trust worthy man whom by the level of his commitment has gained the
trust of my assistant after which my assistant will have me release
the funds to the man.
Mr.Giorgi, I hope by now you completely understand my sentiments
because I only need a direct business venture where by things will be
working out fine without my presence the only influence I will have is
the mutual influence of funding the business and the cooperation of
the man that will receive the fund.
However I am the Director of Alrajhibank (alrajhibank.com.sa) which is
a big family business, but I opened Rajhi partners
(www.rajhipartners.com) for my private investment venture mostly
abroad.
Mr.Giorgi I hope to hear a positive response from you on this hotel
business get across to me with the requirements as I stated or you
come up with other profitable business opportunity over there in
Europe which I will also consider. But I am very interested in the
hotel business but do not like the complex nature of it and the
involvement of the parties like bank and government I prefer private
or personal loan or personal Joint venture arrangement where the
person is totally committed to do everything required of him to secure
the funds and prove very trust worthy to manage the funds.
May Allah Bless you.
Suliman"

Sa\'lam Giorgi,
I acknowledge your mail and I understand your sentiments. I am the CEO/CFO of Rajhi Partners and an ED of Rajhibank (alrajhibank). I have set up Rajhi partners as a personal group which I want to be isolated from the family tree of business to see it grow to another empire and I want to do this mostly within the west, out side the middle east region.
I am only using the Rajhi Partners because I intend growing a personal empire which I will use my own fortune to grow.
I am interested in this business venture only because it is in Georgia which is emerging a fertile ground economically.
Mr.Giorgi I advice that you contact me only via my private email, as I can only respond there as you must understand that its in a bid to dispel your appropriate suspicion that I had to use the company mail system.
However I must also tell you that any Private business that am involved with, is been done under Rajhi Partners and I don\'t want us to start getting involved with Al Rajhibank as it is only a big family business which has one general interest.
Mr.Giorgi I also want us to be very confidential in our dealings as I will not like to get involved with any European Government stipulations or abstract legal advice as I am very conscious of what it will result to such as media involvement. It\'s also important that you severe all your contacts and narrow it down to one or two people that are optimistic to receive and handle the funds of the proposed venture.
I await the detailed business plan for proper technical deliberations with my team of advisers after which we will proceed.
May Allah Bless and Protect You

SAUDI ARABIA 'ROYAL FAMILY SCAMMERS
SULTAN BIN NASSER A BIN FARHAN AL SAUD shown six month ago like a Prince and asked the purchase of shares of Panathinaikos Company one of biggest football club not only in Greece but also in Europe. After long time of discussions between the lawyers of both sides when the legal and financial due diligence completed the pseudo-prince disappeared leaving unpaid and all persons involved in the deal and they worked for him. Maybe the Royal family of Saudi Arabia should recommend at the stupid pseudo- prince doesn’t expose their country.
