Scam Warning: FROM BRUNEI PRINCE HAKEEM F. BOLKIAH
This type of scam has been doing its round on the Internet for many years but to my surprise, it's still going strong. I guess there are 100 times more "newbies" going online each day as there are veterans, who are vulnerable to such scam, which is also known as the Nigerian Scam.From a dictator's son in Africa to the wife of a former Philippines' ruler, the modus operandi is the same. Only the lead character(s) are different, each of them happily agrees to share their stolen/hidden/confiscated fortune with you - all for a small upfront fee.
Now it's the turn of a Brunei's prince to share his treasure with an unfortunate victim(s). Wow! I don't think a price from Brunei needs to do that.
Please do not fall prey to this latest and laughable (for a guy in Borneo leaving just "next door" to the sultanate kingdom of Brunei) scam.

From: IMPORTANT INFO: "FROM PRINCE HAKEEM F. BOLKIAH
Subject: Strictly confidencial/private.
THIS LETTER AND IT?S INFORMATION CONTAINTS ARE STRICTLY CONFIDENCIAL:
ATTENTION: PLEASE READ WITH UTMOST CEARFULNESS,
Dear Friend,
I am contacting you for an Urgent Business Transaction and further explicit investment assistance in your country. Based on the information and recommendation satisfactorily gathered concerning your person, I hereby need you to read this email message carefully because it is very imperative.
I have been reliably informed that some people send fraudulent letters to unsuspecting individuals overseas making bogus claims. Please be informed that this is not such letters as my claims are real. My name is PRINCE HAKEEM F. BOLKIAH, the eldest son of PRINCE JEFRI BOLKIAH who was the former Finance Minister of Brunei. Brunei Darussalam is a small country located in the northwest of the island of Borneo and governed by His Majesty SHEIK HAJI HASSAN-AL BOLKIAH MU'IZZADDIN WADDAULAH.I will save your time by not amplifying my extended Royal Family history which has already been disseminated by the international media during the controversial dispute that erupted between my father and his stepbrother, the sultan of Brunei SHEIK HAJI HASSAN AL BOLKIAH. You can visit the websites below for a better understanding of the situation:-

As you may know from the international media, the Sultan had accused my father of financial mismanagement and impropriety of USD. $14.8 Billion. This was as a result of the Asian financial crisis which made my father?s company AMEDEO DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION (ADC) and government owned Brunei Investment Agency (BIA) to be declared bankrupt during his tenure in office. PRINCE JEFRI BOLKIAH was relieved of his post as Finance Minister of Brunei and was stripped of his chairmanship post as head of the nation's international investment arm, the Brunei Investment Agency in February 1998. The Agency controls 13 companies & Brunei's overseas assets.
In July 1998, SHEIK HAJI HASSANAL BOLKIAH barred trading by Amedeo Development Corporation when the world's biggest corporate debt of USD14.8 Billion came to light. In September 1998, the Sultan ordered an investigation of the BIA by accountants KPMG after the Brunei government alleged that" large sums of money" had been misappropriated to companies controlled by PRINCE JEFRI BOLKIAH. The Sultan then asked the Bank of England to help track down an alleged 28 Billion British Pounds of state and family funds said to be "missing".
On the 02/10/1998 PRINCE JEFRI BOLKIAH flew from London in a private jet and was going to settle matters directly with SHEIK HAJI HASSAN AL BOLKIAH. PRINCE JEFRI drove straight to his seaside palace at Jerudong, about 10 miles south of the capital, Bandar Seri Begawan as he was due to meet with officials of the Amedeo Development Corporation and visit the sultan. After series of meetings, relations between the Royals appeared to deteriorate quickly. However, my father was arrested, his Bank Accounts and private properties including a crude oil export refinery & three large oil wells which were later confiscated by the sultanate.
During this unfortunate period i was advised to evacuate my immediate family outside the sultanate to avoid further prosecution from the sultan and his security operatives. Before I could do that I was placed under house arrest by SHEIK HAJI HASSANAL BOLKIAH. Before my arrest, I went ahead to dispatch the sum of USD$1.Billion in cash under special arrangement into the custody of different Offshore Banks and Private security and Trustee companies for safe keeping abroad. The money where split and kept in the following countries in this proportion: USD$500 Million is in different offshore Bank accounts while the rest are with Private Deposit & Trustee companies with:- USD$250 Million is in England, USD$ 30 Million is in Spain, USD$ 50 Million is in Arabia, USD$ 20 Million is in United Arab Emirate the balance USD$ 70 Million in Germany and USD$ 30 Million in Malaysia. All the funds in Asian countries are now confiscated by the government agencies based on the latest information I got though Internet, the USD$ 250 Million in England has also been freezed by United kingdom authorities, I am only left with the funds in Spain and Germany. I am unable to reach my friends & associates whom would have provided all the much needed moral and financial assistance I require to release the funds because my private/personal diary was seized by my uncle SHEIK HAJI HASSANAL BOLKIAH who also happens to be the Sultan of Brunei.I seek your good will & assistance to receive and invest these funds into profitable business investment in your country to facilitate future survival for me and my family abroad befote the authorities confiscate the remaining funds in Spain and Germany, I will give you further contact details of the said financial institutions as soon as I receive your mail of acceptance.
I am counting on your absolute transparency, honesty and confidentiality which this transaction deserves while looking forward to your prompt response, reply to my private email box for security reasons. (princehakeebolk@yahoo.com.my). I await your Urgent Reply.
Best Regards,
PRINCE HAKEEM F. BOLKIAH-
BRUNEI DARUSSALAM.
