Healthcare Fraud: Khaled Elbeblawy Sentenced for Role in $57 Million Medicare Fraud Scheme

Leave a comment

Former Owner and Manager of Miami-Area Home Health Agencies Sentenced to 20 Years in Prison for Role in $57 Million Medicare Fraud Scheme

The owner and manager of three now-defunct Miami-area home health agencies was sentenced today to 240 months in prison for his role in a $57 million Medicare fraud scheme.

Assistant Attorney General Leslie R. Caldwell of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division, U.S. Attorney Wifredo A. Ferrer of the Southern District of Florida, Special Agent in Charge George L. Piro of the FBI’s Miami Field Office and Special Agent in Charge Shimon R. Richmond of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General’s (HHS-OIG) Miami Regional Office made the announcement.

Khaled Elbeblawy, 40, of Miramar, Florida, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Beth Bloom of the Southern District of Florida, who also ordered Elbeblawy to pay approximately $36,400,957 in restitution and to forfeit the same amount.  On Jan. 21, 2016, Elbeblawy was convicted after a two-week trial of one count of conspiracy to commit health care fraud and wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to defraud the United States and pay health care kickbacks.

According to evidence presented at trial, Elbeblawy managed Willsand Home Health Agency Inc. (Willsand) and owned JEM Home Health Care LLC (JEM) and Healthy Choice Home Services Inc. (Healthy Choice).  The evidence showed that through these three entities, from approximately 2006 to 2013, Elbeblawy and his co-conspirators purported to provide home health services to Medicare beneficiaries in the Miami area, which were not medically necessary and often were never even provided.  Elbeblawy and his co-conspirators paid kickbacks to doctors, patient recruiters and staffing groups, which, in exchange, referred beneficiaries to Willsand, JEM and Healthy Choice, the evidence showed.

Evidence presented at trial showed that the three agencies submitted a total of approximately $57 million in false and fraudulent claims to Medicare, and received payments totaling approximately $40 million on those claims.

On Oct. 15, 2012, Eulises Escalona, the former owner of Willsand and the former co-owner of JEM, was sentenced to 10 years in prison after pleading guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit health care fraud.  Cynthia Vilches, the former co-owner of Healthy Choice, was charged by information and pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit health care fraud.  Vilches is scheduled to be sentenced on Oct. 13, 2016.

The FBI and HHS-OIG investigated the case, which was brought as part of the Medicare Fraud Strike Force, supervised by the Criminal Division’s Fraud Section and the U.S. Attorney’s Office of the Southern District of Florida.  Assistant Chief Nicholas E. Surmacz and Trial Attorney Vasanth Sridharan of the Fraud Section prosecuted the case.

Since its inception in March 2007, the Medicare Fraud Strike Force, now operating in nine cities across the country, has charged nearly 2,900 defendants who have collectively billed the Medicare program for more than $10 billion.  In addition, the HHS Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, working in conjunction with the HHS-OIG, are taking steps to increase accountability and decrease the presence of fraudulent providers.

Email Scam: Cyber Security Desk – Tech Support Scams

Leave a comment

From 2014 to 2015, tech support scams increased by 200%, according to cybersecurity leader Symantec in their 2016 Internet Security Threat Report.

Throwing around scary cybersecurity terms like “malware,” scammers try to frighten victims on the phone and convince them that their computer and personal information are at risk. Acting like an expert from a trusted organization, the caller then persuades the victim to download an application or visit a site to resolve the issue, actually delivering ransomware to the unaware victim’s computer.

Here’s an example of a tech support scam I recently experienced during the workday (and how I gracefully handled it).

About 10 minutes before our all-hands team call ends, I get a phone call from “private number.” I never know who these callers are. I’m always worried that it is some relative of a Nigerian prince needing to borrow thousands of dollars so I can become really, really wealthy and rent the red Porsche that the car rental company keeps wanting me to drive when I come to the VMware AirWatch office in Atlanta.

The gentlemen on the other end of the phone identifies himself as Smith Hamilton from the Network Security Department. He tells me that there has been a great deal of network traffic attempting to get into my computer. Faraway computers from Georgia, North Carolina and Iowa have been trying to maliciously access the private information on my computer, he says.

I tell him my girlfriend is calling me and ask if I can put him on hold. I walk over to the kitchen and make myself a peanut butter and jelly sandwich (I really need that Nigerian prince’s family member to call me). After cleaning up my mess, I walk back and take Mr. Hamilton off hold. He is patiently waiting. This guy must really want to protect my personal information for me. What a saint.

We start talking, and he asks me to go to “the Google website” and search for a certain online meeting software. I ask him what browser I should be using: Dolphin or Opera? I tell him my wife prefers Opera, and my girlfriend says that Dolphin is the best. He can’t believe I have both a wife and a girlfriend and suggests that I should leave one of them. (I never tell him that they are the same person.) He lectures me about wedding vows and says that I should search my soul and do the right thing. This guy is a saint.

I ask if I can put him on hold because the doorbell rang. I say if I’m not back in five minutes then it means that my girlfriend is at the door and that he probably should hang up because no good things happen when she’s at the door. I review the PowerPoint slides that my colleague sent. After four and a half minutes, I reconnect with Mr. Hamilton.

He stops lecturing me, and guides me through installing the business application I searched for on my “Windows machine.” I read an email from my boss asking me to get back to work. I tell Mr. Hamilton that he can call me back tonight after 10 p.m. when my wife goes to sleep, and we can talk more about his qualms with my personal life.

Handle Tech Support Scams like a Cybersecurity Champ

Now, I’m off to see if I can find an application for him to install on his computer to help make my “Windows machine” faster. I’ll have a clean virtual machine set up and waiting for Mr. Hamilton if he calls me back. I’ll waste his time all night long if I need to, because it keeps him from calling and abusing someone else.

If you find yourself on the phone with a Mr. Hamilton, hang up. You should never accept the help of these “altruistic helpers.” No one is ever going to call you and help you remove malware from your computer. No one is ever going to call you and help you speed up your computer for free.

 

Microsoft offers some sound advice on avoiding tech support scams here. You can also log a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) here.

Health Care Fraud: Rafael Chikvashvili Sentenced to 10 Years

Leave a comment

Maryland Health Care Provider Sentenced to 10 Years in Federal Prison for Health Care Fraud Resulting in Patient Deaths

Patients Died Because No Radiologist Reviewed X-Rays; Defendant Cheated Medicare and Medicaid of More Than $6 Million

Baltimore, Maryland – U. S. District Judge James K. Bredar sentenced the owner of Alpha Diagnostics, Rafael Chikvashvili, age 69, of Baltimore, Maryland, today to 10 years in prison, followed by two years of supervised release, for charges related to a health care fraud and wire fraud conspiracy resulting in the deaths of patients, as well as false statements and aggravated identity theft, related to a scheme to defraud Medicare and Medicaid of more than $6 million. Judge Bredar also ordered that Chikvashvili pay restitution and forfeit proceeds of the fraud, with the exact amount to be determined at a later date. Chikvashvili has been detained since his conviction by a federal jury on February 17, 2016.

The sentence was announced by United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein; Special Agent in Charge Nicholas DiGiulio, Office of Investigations, Office of Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services; and Special Agent in Charge Kevin Perkins of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Baltimore Field Office.

“The evidence showed that Rafael Chikvashvili failed to provide medical services to patients who needed them, and billed for services that he did not provide,” said U.S. Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein. “The jury found that two patients died because their X-rays were not reviewed by a qualified radiologist. Health care fraud has consequences, in money wasted and lives lost.”

According to the evidence presented at the two-and-a-half week trial, Chikvashvili formed Alpha Diagnostics Services, Inc., which later became Alpha Diagnostics, LLC, in 1993, and was the Managing Member, Authorized Official, Managing Employee, President and Chief Executive Officer for Alpha Diagnostics. Chikvashvili holds a PhD in mathematics, but was never a medical doctor or licensed physician. Timothy Emeigh was the Vice President in charge of Operations at Alpha Diagnostics and was a licensed radiologic technologist.

Alpha Diagnostics was a portable diagnostic services provider, principally of X-rays, but also provided ultrasound tests, and cardiologic examinations.  Alpha Diagnostics’ clients included nursing homes whose patients were covered by Medicare and Medicaid. Alpha Diagnostics operated in Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Virginia and the District of Columbia, but was headquartered in Owings Mills, Maryland, where Chikvashvili worked full time.

Based on the evidence, the jury found that from 1997 through October 2013, Chikvashvili conspired with others to defraud Medicare and Medicaid by: creating false radiology, ultrasound and cardiologic interpretation reports; by submitting insurance claims for medical examination interpretations that were never completed by licensed physicians; by falsely representing to Medicare and Medicaid, as well as to treating physicians, that the interpretations had, in fact, been completed by actual licensed physicians; by submitting insurance claims for radiology, ultrasound and cardiologic examinations (and their associated costs) that were never performed and/or were not ordered by the treating physician; and by submitting claims for transportation and other charges that Alpha Diagnostics was not entitled to receive.

According to witness testimony, Chikvashvili instructed his non-physician employees, including Emeigh, to interpret X-rays, ultrasounds and cardiologic examinations instead of licensed radiologists. For example, in June 2012, Emeigh traveled to Jamaica for a vacation.  The evidence showed that Chikvashvili directed Emeigh, through text messages and telephone calls, to view medical images using his personal laptop in his hotel room and then draft false physician interpretation reports.  Alpha Diagnostics personnel subsequently submitted false claims to Medicare for these images and fraudulent physician reports.

The evidence showed that Chikvashvili also caused employees to draft licensed physician’s examination reports.  Chikvashvili, in turn, caused a copy of the handwritten signature of the actual physician to be affixed to the report, or forged the physician’s signature himself, creating the appearance that a licensed physician had performed the medical interpretation.

According to the testimony provided at trial, two patients died because their X-rays were not interpreted by a qualified radiologist.  Instead, non-physician Alpha Diagnostics employees reviewed the images and failed to detect congestive heart failure. As a result of the incorrect reading the her chest X-ray, the first patient with congestive heart failure was not transferred to an acute care facility for treatment, as is standard medical practice, but remained in a rehabilitative nursing home. The patient died four days after unqualified Alpha Diagnostics personnel misinterpreted her chest X-ray.  Witnesses testified that had the patient been transferred, her symptoms could have been addressed. The second patient was scheduled to undergo elective surgery and the chest X-ray was a pre-operation test to determine if the patient could safely have surgery.  According to the evidence presented at trial, although the patient’s X-ray revealed mild congestive heart failure, the non-physician Alpha Diagnostics employee failed to detect it.  A patient in congestive heart failure is at an increased risk of bleeding during and after surgery. As a result of the incorrect reading of the chest X-ray, the patient was cleared for elective surgery and experienced significant bleeding after the elective surgery, and the worsening of her congestive heart failure.  Six days after unqualified Alpha Diagnostics personnel misinterpreted her chest X-ray, the patient died.

Subsequently, Alpha Diagnostics submitted claims to Medicare falsely representing that licensed radiologists had interpreted both patients’ chest X-rays.  Medicare paid Alpha Diagnostics $8.87 for the first claim and $218.36 for the second claim.

The evidence showed that over the course of the conspiracy, Chikvashvili and Alpha Diagnostics received more than $6 million from fraudulent claims submitted to Medicare and Medicaid.

Timothy Emeigh, age 51, of York Springs, Pennsylvania previously pleaded guilty to health care fraud and is scheduled to be sentenced on June 17, 2016.

United States Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein praised the HHS-OIG and the FBI for their work in the investigation.  Mr. Rosenstein thanked Assistant United States Attorneys Leo J. Wise and P. Michael Cunningham, who prosecuted the case.

Michigan Residents Sentenced to Prison for Mortgage Fraud Scheme

Recruited Straw Buyers to Purchase Homes and Submit Fraudulent Mortgage Applications

Five residents of the Detroit, Michigan, area were sentenced to prison this week for their roles in a multi-year mortgage fraud conspiracy, Acting Assistant Attorney General Caroline D. Ciraolo of the Justice Department’s Tax Division announced today.

Between January 2006 and December 2008, the perpetrators of the scheme purchased single-family homes in Detroit for approximately $5,000 to $40,000 each and re-sold the homes to third party individuals, referred to as “straw buyers,” that they recruited.  The co-conspirators then caused fraudulent mortgage loan applications in the names of the straw buyers to be submitted to financial institutions.

On July 16, 2014, a grand jury returned a superseding indictment charging seven defendants with conspiracy to commit bank fraud, bank fraud, aiding and assisting in the filing of false tax returns and bankruptcy fraud.  All of the defendants named in the superseding indictment pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit bank fraud for their role in the scheme.

On Jan. 11 and 12, U.S. District Judge Bernard A. Friedman of the Eastern District of Michigan announced the following sentences:

  • Jason Najor, 39, of West Bloomfield Township, Michigan, was sentenced to 16 months in prison, followed by four years of supervised release, and ordered to pay restitution to the affected financial institutions in the amount of $705,900.
  • Jeffrey Najor, 32, of Wixom, Michigan, was sentenced to 24 months in prison, followed by four years of supervised release, and ordered to pay restitution to the affected financial institutions in the amount of $1,707,200.
  • Suhail Hallak, 59, of Oak Park, Michigan, was sentenced to 15 months in prison, followed by three years of supervised release, and ordered to pay restitution to the affected financial institutions in the amount of $759,804.
  • Joey Murad, 37, of Old Shelby Township, Michigan, was sentenced to 33 months in prison, followed by four years of supervised release, and ordered to pay restitution to the affected financial institutions in the amount of $188,904.
  • Al Karana, 46, of Old Sterling Heights, Michigan, was sentenced to one day in jail, followed by three years of supervised release to include one year of home confinement, and ordered to pay restitution to the affected financial institutions in the amount of $204,600.

Two of the defendants named in the superseding indictment were previously sentenced to prison.  In January 2015, Wasseem Shamoun, 50, of Northville, Michigan, was sentenced to 15 months in prison and ordered to pay restitution to the in the amount of $394,000, following his plea of guilty to conspiracy to commit bank fraud.  In September 2014, Peter Allen, 44, of Southfield, Michigan, was sentenced to 21 months in prison and ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $194,300, for his role in the bank fraud scheme.

In addition to the seven defendants named in the superseding indictment, two other individuals connected to the scheme have pleaded guilty and been sentenced to prison.  In September 2015, Mary Ann Paschal, who served as a straw buyer for multiple properties and received substantial fees for her participation, was sentenced to one year and one day in prison and ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $523,750.  Also in September 2015, Shawn Alexander Reed, a mortgage broker who assisted in the preparation of false mortgage loan applications, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 15 months in prison.

Acting Assistant Attorney General Ciraolo thanked special agents of the FBI, Internal Revenue Service-Criminal Investigation and the Drug Enforcement Administration, who investigated the case and Senior Litigation Counsel Corey Smith and Trial Attorney Mark McDonald of the Tax Division, who prosecuted the case.

The Google Promotion Award Team has discovered a huge number of double claims due to winners informing close friends relatives and third parties about their winning and also sharing their pin numbers. As a result of this, these friends try to claim the lottery on behalf of the real winners. The Google Promotion Award Team has reached a decision from its headquarters that any double claim discovered by the Lottery Board will result to the canceling of that particular winning, leading to a loss for both the double claimer and the real winner, as it is taken that the real winner was the informer to the double claimer about the lottery. So you are hereby strongly advised once more to keep your winnings strictly confidential until you claim your prize.

Congratulations from the Staffs & Members of the Google interactive Lotteries Board Commission.

 

Yours faithfully,

Email Scams Examples, Fraud

Email Security For Online Dating – Prevent To Be Scammed

Leave a comment

A simple way for hackers or fraudsters to gather information about is through your email address. Many email services today offer profile sharing and create profiles on their sites directly from the information you provide when creating an email address. An example of this is windows live, or an MSN profile, Yahoo profile, even Google.

Your most important email address is your personal email address. The one you most likely use for banking, your personal social media profiles, and personal communication with friends, family, clients, and co-workers. You should keep the shared information on your personal email as private as possible and disable any public sharing of this personal information.

If you use your personal email to communicate on online dating sites, you should guard your details just the same way you would guard your home phone number, your cell phone number or your home address. Before you get started with online dating, one of the basic security aspects is to make sure you are communicating over a safe and secure email address. Hackers, scammers and spammers can find very creative ways to use your email address so understanding email security and proper email use is a must in order to have a safe and secure experience with online dating.

Separate Email

If you are very new to the Internet, and not too Internet savvy, we recommend that you create a new email address for online dating. There are various email services you can use, such as Hotmail, Gmail, and Yahoo. The email service that you use isn’t important. What’s important is that you separate your personal account from the your the account you will use to communicate with the people you meet on online dating websites.

When you sign up for an online dating website or a social website like Facebook you will be interacting with many new people and and your email address will be used for both communication, logging in to many websites, and exchanging messages with both the dating site, and the people you meet through the dating site. If your not too Internet savvy, and don’t know how to spot scammers, spammers, and hackers over the Internet, we recommend that you set up a new email address and possible use a nickname or some other name other than your real name so that your identity is kept safe and secret. Any scammer, spammer or hacker or even an obsessed person you might meet online will not be able to easily identify you through your email address if you take this precaution.

While this may seem extreme, it’s better to be safe then sorry. It only takes a few minutes to create a new email address and the benefit of this is that if you ever run into any problems you can literally toss this email address away, simply not use it anymore, and it won’t be tied into any of your other personal accounts which may include your personal bank accounts, Facebook account, etc. Also, if you ever want to stop communicating with someone online, they will not be able to harass you as your identity will remain a secret.

Password Security

As with most other accounts, the security of your email accounts depends in large part on the strength of your password. You should have a strong password that is not easy to guess or crack. If you haven’t don so already head over and read our article on Password Security For Online Dating, so that you can follow the best protocol for choosing a good password.

If you would just like to check the current strength of your password, or check the strength of a password you’re thinking of using, you can use Microsoft’s Password Strength Checker. If you have a weak password that can be easily guessed or cracked, someone could gain access to your email account and all the information stored within your account. Once your email is compromised the could gain access to any other accounts tied to your email account.

One final tip is to have different passwords for different email accounts. If one of your accounts is ever compromised, your other account may still remain protected because of the different password. Although having many passwords is often to time consuming for most people, it really is a good way to increase your protection online.

Security Questions

In order to increase the security of your email address you should always create some security questions when creating your email account. Security questions are designed to add an extra layer of security in case you ever forget your password or need to reset it for some reason. If you want to check your security questions you can usually do it under the settings of your account under security or privacy in most accounts.

Some common/standard security questions include:

  • What is your pet’s name?
  • What is your date of birth?
  • What was the make of your first car?
  • What city were you born in?
  • What is your mother’s maiden name?
  • What are your children’s nicknames?
  • Who is your favorite author?
  • Best childhood friend?
  • Favorite teacher?
  • Favorite historical person?
  • Grandfather’s occupation?
  • Choose your own security question…

The list of security questions above are usually the questions that are predefined for you when you set security questions in your account. Even though these questions are a good start, someone who knows you fairly well, or can gather a good amount of information on you from public online profiles or other sources of information, may be able to guess the answers to your security questions. If someone can figure out the answers to your security questions, they could gain access to your account and reset your password, this would give them full access to your account and it would essentially be hijacked. Once the culprit has gained access to your inbox if could lead to identity theft because of the culprit’s access to a variety of personal information found in your inbox.

Many email services now and days offer you the choice of creating your own security questions. This is actually the best option, because it allows you to create a unique questions that only you would know the answer too. If you choose to do this make sure you create a question that only you know the answer to. In general it should be something very personal, but also something very easy to remember, because you may need to answer this security question, if you every need to reset your password. If you create a good security questions it makes it almost impossible for a hacker, spammer, or scammer to hijack your account by guessing your security question.

Profile Information

Your online dating profiles can contain some personal information. After all you want to share some details about yourself so that other members can find you under targeted searches based on information you share on your profile. You also want to share some information so that your profile looks like it was created by a real person. Sharing some information helps other real genuine people get to know you a little before they decide to initiate contact with you. However, make sure you never share any information that could help someone guess your security questions or passwords.

Secrets Are Good

First and foremost, you should never give out your passwords, credit card information or bank account information under any circumstances online. Not even your own bank will ever ask you for your password or to verify your credit card number through an online chat session or email. Banks and credit cards ask you to verify account information but you should only do this when you call them, and never when you receive a phone call.

Apart from the above, you should also keep other details secret which could help someone guess your security questions or passwords. If someone you don’t know starts asking very personal or detailed questions, a red flag should go off in your mind right away. While it is common sense not to give out your password to anyone, many of us don’t think before answering other questions someone might ask us online. Be fully aware of what your security questions are and never divulge that information to anyone.

In today’s world email addresses can be valuable tools for spamming, identity theft, and other fraudulent activities. Although it’s not very common to have someone go through so much trouble to access your account, you could one day run into someone who wants to identify specific details in order to hack into your account. This person might try to hold one or many conversations with you through email, or chat while they gradually gather more details and information from you through seemingly normal conversations.

For example the scammer could make a conversation about pets, how they love animals and share details about their pets. If your security question is related to your pet, you should not share this specific personal information with anyone.

Keeping your email secure is not rocket science. Just remember not to divulge specific details that could compromise your security questions and password to anyone.

The online dating safety guide will guide you safely through the world of online dating. Safe online dating is only a matter of education yourself and follow the best online dating safety tips on your website.

Good day,

With due respect, I must apologize for this unsolicited message, I am aware that this is certainly not a conventional way of approaching an unknown person for establishment of project and investment.

But I respectfully insist you read this message carefully before you either take a decision of proceedingor deleting my message as I am optimistic it will be successful for unimaginable financial benefit for bothof us.

I am Mrs Graca Machel Mandela the wife of south African icon and freedom fighter late Nelson Rotlatla Mandela The former President of South Africa from 1994 till 1999 who died on December 5, 2013 after a protracted lung infection contacted during his 27th years of incarceration in robin island prison. I managed to get your contact details online here in Johannesburg South Africa in my desperate search for a trustworthy person to assist me in this confidential business transaction.

As the Third wife of late Nelson Mandela, he deposited cash in a trust account on my name here in south Africa, for self keeping , he did this because he knew that upon his death ,his lioness ex-wife winnie Mandela might use all her structural contacts within the AFRICAN NATIONAL CONGRESS [ANC] to deny me what is due to me as his wife who looked after him all this period he has being on sick bed.

As his instinct preinformed him, his fears is ongoing ,as a Mozambican ,all the family members have swooped on me Opposing me that I should hand over the asset to them, and good a thing that when my late husband deposited the money into the trust fund account on my hand we used my sons name ,Mr Malengani Machel, who is currently living here in Johannesburg South Africa, for security reason.

My late husband, Nelson Mandela, deposited US$60.5 MILLIONS (Sixty Millions, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) in cash in a bank here in South Africa through diplomatic channel, After his death, I and my son being in Johannesburg, South Africa, decided to transfer this money out of South Africa for my family use since it is the only confidential thing we benefited. I have relinquished and waved most of his assets /estate willed to me as we are married in community of property for the interest of peace .This is genuine and not of criminal origin. I must then emphasize that this transaction is highly confidential and is to be kept as such.
Therefore indicate your full interest on assurance of trust, so that we can actualize this great opportunity together and share the benefit together by the help of God. and in the area you are not interested of this deal please kindly delete it immediately from your email.

Tel; + 27848983538                ,                                       
E-Mail; [drkennbossman22@gmail.com]    Dear Sir/Madam    


                                         URGENT BUSINESS PROPOSAL.


 
After my official enquiry from the foreign trade office of the chambers of commerce & industry here in Johannesburg South Africa, I decided to contact you but I did not disclose the intention to anyone else because of the delicate nature of the project. I found your profile very interesting and decided to reach you directly to solicit for your assistance and guidelines in making a business investment and transfer of US$23,000,000.00 (Twenty Three million Dollars) to your country within the next few days. Please I must plead for your confidence in this transaction. I am a high placed official working with Department of (Finance & Economic Affairs) in Johannesburg. I am currently in need of a silent foreign partner whose identity i can use to transfer this sum of money. But at this moment, I am constrained to issue more details about this profitable business investment until I get your response by email, please if you can take out a moment of your very busy schedule today to respond back to my private email below for more details and include your private telephone number in your response which I will highly appreciate.
 
This fund accrued legitimately to me as commission from foreign contracts, through my private connections. The fund is presently waiting to be remitted from the bank here in South Africa to any overseas beneficiary confirmed by me as associate/receiver. By virtue of my positions as civil servant in my country, I cannot acquire this money in my names.  Because as high placed civil servant, I am not allowed by the civil service code of conduct to own or operate bank accounts outside of our shores. On the other hand, it is not safe for me to keep the money here due to unstable political environment. I am looking for an overseas silent partner who could work with me to facilitate the transfer of this fund for our mutual benefit, hence the reason for this email.
 
My proposal is that after you receive the funds, it would be shared as follows: (1) 15% to you as commission for your co-operation and assistance in facilitating the transfer,  while 5% will be for any expenses incurred during the process by both parties, while the remaining 80% belongs to me. You will be free to take out your commission immediately after the money hits your account in your country. Since my objective is to invest the money in a foreign country, it would be appreciated if you could also help me with advices and direction on investing into profitable ventures in your country. 

However, this is optional, and if it is not convenient for you to further assist me with investing the money, we can end our cooperation after you make available to me my part of the money. The transaction, although discreet, is legitimate and the money will be transferred successfully with all necessary back-up official documents showing the legitimate source/origin of fund. The transfer will be affected within a period not longer than two weeks as soon as we reach an agreement and you furnish me with a suitable response indicating your interest for processing the transfer. I plead with you on one issue, whether you are interested or not, kindly do not expose this information to anyone else. I confirm that the transaction is legitimate and without any risks either to yourself or me. Please, give me your response immediately by returning this mail through my alternative email address.    

 

Yours Faithfully,
Dr. Kenn Bossman
