Betrüger warnen vor Betrügern

Eine relativ neue Art von SPAM-Mails geistert seit kurzem massenhaft durchs Netz,
in der Nigeria-Betrüger vor ihresgleichen warnen und Behebung des Schadens
in Aussicht stellen - um so noch mehr Opfer zu finden.

Die Masche ist nicht neu: irgendwo in Afrika - bevorzugt in Nigeria - ist jemand verstorben und der "Bankdirektor", der Ihnen die Mail geschickt hat, weiß nicht, wohin mit dem Geld, das eh niemand vermisst. Oder aber: Oppositionelle wollen Geld außer Landes schaffen, dürfen das aber nicht direkt. Deswegen sucht der "Bankdirektor" oder -angestellte für diese ehrenhaften Leute andere ehrenhafte Leute - also jeden, der die SPAM-Mail erhält - der ihm dabei helfen soll, das Geld wegzuschaffen. Oder an die rechtmäßigen Erben zu übergeben. Für die Mühe wird dem Empfänger der Mail ein satter Anteil an dem Millionenerbe versprochen.

Datensammler und Betrüger

Um die Transaktion seriös abzuwickeln, muß man zunächst die eigenen Kontaktdaten an den Absender schicken. Begründet wird dies in der Regel damit, dass sich ja auch die Bank absichern muß, mit wem sie zusammenarbeitet. Damit erfüllt man gleich zwei Zwecke: die Mailadresse wird für den Spammer als gültig erkennbar und man bekommt wertvolle Daten des Empfängers, die den Wert der Mailadresse noch deutlich aufwerten. So wird künftig für den Spammer zielgruppenorientierte Werbung möglich.

Nach einigen ausgetauschten Mails kommt der Banker schließlich zum Kern der Sache: da man ja bald im Besitz von sehr viel Geld sein wird ist es wohl einzusehen, dass man zur Deckung der Abwicklungs-, und Anwaltskosten einen Vorschuß leisten muß. Die absolut vertrauenswürdige Bank darf nämlich nach seiner Auskunft keinesfalls für die laufenden Kosten auf das Vermögen zugreifen. Die Kosten darf man sich dann später wieder holen, wenn man erst mal das Geld auf dem Konto hat.

Der Rest ist schnell dargestellt: wenn Sie jetzt das Geld überweisen, werden Sie keinen Cent davon wiedersehen. Irgendwann verläuft sich auch der Kontakt mit dem Herrn Direktor im Sande.

Neu an der aktuellen Masche ist, dass sich die SPAM-Mail an angebliche Opfer von Nigeria-Betrügern wendet. Man habe erkannt, dass Sie auf solche Betrüger hereingefallen sind und möchte Ihnen helfen, den Schaden auszugleichen. Deswegen hätten die Vereinten Nationen eine Londoner Bank beauftragt, den Schaden zu beheben.
Konkret sieht die Mail so aus:

Internetsicherheit
» Nigeria-Connection für Fortgeschrittene «

von Claus Hecking

Irgendwie hat sich die Mail doch ins Postfach gemogelt, vorbei am Spamfilter. Aber sie sei auch gar kein Spam, behauptet ihr Verfasser. Sondern das genaue Gegenteil.

Die "Notification from HSBC Bank London" warnt eindringlich vor Internet-Trickbetrügern aus Nigeria - und verspricht allen Opfern der "Nigeria-Connection" eine Rückzahlung ihres verlorenen Gelds. "Wir haben den Auftrag der Vereinten Nationen, die Überweisung an Sie zu tätigen", heißt es im steifsten Behördenenglisch. Der Empfänger müsse nur Name, Adresse und einige persönliche Daten zurückschicken. Zur Sicherheit: "Damit wir nicht die falsche Person auszahlen."

Doch der Absender ist gar nicht die Londoner Großbank. "Hier sind wieder die üblichen Gauner am Werk: Wer antwortet, wird um irgendeine Vorauszahlung gebeten - und das Geld ist weg", sagt Heiko Rittelmeier, Spamexperte des Portals Computerbetrug.de. "Aber Charme hat diese neue Masche schon: Die Nigeria-Connection warnt vor der Nigeria-Connection."

Das Prinzip ist seit dem 16. Jahrhundert bekannt. Mal will angeblich ein krebskranker Ex-Diktator sein Vermögen außer Landes schaffen, mal geht es um die Millionen eines im Sterben liegenden US-Soldaten im Irak - mit herzzerreißenden E-Mails locken die Betrüger ihre Opfer an. Das Versprechen: Wer beim Geldtransfer hilft, wird großzügig entschädigt. Antwortet ein Ahnungsloser, folgt bald die nächste Mail mit der Aufforderung, eine Gebühr zu zahlen - etwa für Anwaltskosten oder Bestechungsgelder.

Auch nach 15 Jahren Internet zieht die Masche offensichtlich. Noch 2007 überwies ein Australier 1,28 Mio. Euro an Cyberverbrecher. Der Bürgermeister der Stadt Ennigerloh im Münsterland musste 2001 gehen, nachdem er 145.000 Euro aus der Gemeindekasse versenkt hatte. Experten schätzen den Schaden auf mehrere Milliarden Euro pro Jahr. Meist kommen die Täter aus Nigeria; Tausende leben hier vom "Internet-Scam". 2005 komponierte der Sänger Osuofia für sie sogar eine Hymne: "I Go Chop Your Dollar" wurde zum landesweiten Hit.

Rittelmeier fürchtet, dass die Scammer auch mit dem neuen Trick Erfolg haben: "Es gibt viele Menschen, die ihr gutes Geld dem schlechten hinterherwerfen. Das ist wie an der Börse, wo Leute bei fallenden Kursen ihre Aktien noch mal nachkaufen." Spambetrug amortisiert sich schnell. Für einen niedrigen dreistelligen Dollar-Betrag können die Scammer Millionen Mails verschicken; da reicht schon ein "Kunde".

Selbst wenn niemand Geld überweist, bleibt den Betrügern noch eine zweite Einnahmequelle: die Daten derjenigen, die auf ihr erstes Schreiben geantwortet haben. Dafür zahlen andere Scammer ein Vielfaches des üblichen Preises einer E-Mail-Adresse. Denn wer einmal reinfällt, lässt sich vielleicht ein zweites Mal foppen. "Wir raten Ihnen, die Kommunikation mit den Nigerianern einzustellen und mit uns zu kooperieren", heißt es in der falschen HSBC-Mail, "zum sofortigen Transfer des Geldes auf Ihr Konto."
