Has anyone heard of a company called Diamond Safari in South Africa? I have been hearing a lot about this company lately, and I would like any information you can find about them..i.e. address, email address, telephone number. Anything you can find would be helpful.
Thank you for your time today. Have a good one!

This is a big, big scam. With access to your account information being the target. If they can get you to sign an agreement and give them your pertinent information, then they can really screw ya.
If you receive or have received this e-mail from S.A. or Nigeria, as one man has stated, forward it to the FBI e-mail address which can be found on their website. Forward the e-mail and delete your copy. The feds are checking to see if this is in any way related to terrorist plots against free democracies.

I also received the same message. If you're looking for information about it, you can find info on this sites:
-www.crimes-of-persuasion.com/Nigerian/dead foreigners.htm
-www.iusb.edu
and further on. You just have to use Google and enter keywords, such as Allan P. Seaman or Diamond Safari SA.
They also use names of famous people, for example George William, they use this names to make e-mail adresses and send e-mails.

It's easy to know how this scam works. First of all they send you this message, then you reply that you're intrested. They ask you to give your phone number, fax or e-mail. Send you a lot of false documents.
Ask you to invest some money to make sure you're honest.
If you're stupid enough to believe them, they go away with the money you invest. For example: they think you need a lawyer and they present you the best lawyer they know. A friend of them, you pay for his services, they go away with the money. Everyone should know that such large amounts of money are be suspicious.
If you need more information, the net is full of info.

yes, I just recieved that same email. I'll probably just deleted it. But here is a copy of it.....
(URGENT AND CONFIDENTIAL)
(RE: TRANSFER OF ($ 152,000.000.00 USD ONE HUNDRED
AND FIFTY TWO MILLION DOLLARS
Dear sir,
We want to transfer to overseas ($ 152,000.000.00 USD)
One hundred and Fifty two million United States
Dollars) from a Prime Bank in Africa, I want to ask
you to quietly look for a reliable and honest person
who will be capable and fit to provide either an
existing bank account or to set up a new Bank a/c
immediately to receive this money, even an empty a/c
can serve to receive this money, as long as you will
remain honest to me till the end for this important
business trusting in you and believing in God that
you will never let me down either now or in future.
I am Mr, Atakata,the Auditor General of prime
banks, during the course of our auditing I
discovered a floating fund in an account opened in
the bank in 1990 and since 1993 nobody has operated
on this account again, after going through some old
files in the records I discovered that the owner of
the account died without a [heir] hence the money
is floating and if I do not remit this money out
urgently it will be forfeited for nothing. the owner
of this account is Mr. Adams.C. Nicole, a foreigner,
and an industrialist, and he died, since 1993. and
no other person knows about this account or any thing
concerning it, the account has no other beneficiary
and my investigation proved to me as well that
Adams.C. Nicole until his death was the manager
Diamond Safari [pty]. SA.
We will start the first transfer with fifty two
million [$52,000.000] upon successful transaction
without any disappoint from your side, we shall
re-apply for the payment of the remaining rest amount
to your account,
The amount involved is (USD 152M) One hundred and
Fifty two million United States Dollars, only I want
to first transfer $52,000.000 [fifty two million
United States Dollar from this money into a
safe foreigners account abroad before the rest, but I
don't know any foreigner, I am only contacting you as
a foreigner because this money can not be approved to
a local person here, without valid international
foreign passport, but can only be approved to any
foreigner with valid international passport or drivers
license and foreign a/c because the money is in us
dollars and the former owner of the a/c Mr. Adams.C.
Nicole is a foreigner too, [and the money can only be
approved into a foreign a/c
However, we will sign a binding agreement, to bind us
together I got your contact address from the Girl
who operates computer, I am revealing this to you
with believe in God that you will never let me down in
this business, you are the first and the only person
that I am contacting for this business, so please
reply urgently so that I will inform you the next step
to take urgently. Send also your private telephone and
fax number including the full details of the account
to be used for the deposit.
I want us to meet face to face to build confidence and
to sign a binding agreement that will bind us
together before transferring the money to any account
of your choice where the fund will be safe. Before we
fly to your country for withdrawal, sharing and
investments.
I need your full co-operation to make
this work fine. because the management is ready to
approve this payment to any foreigner who has correct
information of this account, which I will give to you,
upon your positive response and once I am convinced
that you are capable and will meet up with
instruction of a key bank official who is deeply
involved with me in this business.
I need your strong assurance that you will never,
never let me down.
With my influence and the position of the bank
official we can transfer this money to any foreigner's
reliable account which you can provide with assurance
that this money will be intact pending our physical
arrival in your country for sharing. The bank official
will destroy all documents of transaction
immediately we receive this money leaving no trace to
any place and to build confidence you can come
immediately to discuss with me face to face after
which I will make this remittance in
your presence and three of us will fly to your country
at least two days ahead of the money going into the
account.
I will apply for annual leave to get visa immediately
I hear from you that you are ready to act and receive
this fund in your account. I will use my position and
influence to obtain all legal approvals for onward
transfer of this money to your account with
appropriate clearance from the relevant ministries
and foreign exchange departments.
At the conclusion of this business, you will be given
35% of the total amount, 60% will be for me, while 5%
will be for expenses both parties might have incurred
during the process of transferring.
I look forward to your earliest reply through my email
address.
Yours,
Atakata.
