Sultan Haji Hassanul Bolkiah of Brunei Foundation donation for Islam scam

  1. Home
  2. Internet Scams and Fraud
  3. Scams in the name of charity / Zakat / Alms

By Khalid on 2007/07/19 - 21:38, last updated 2007/08/19 - 14:15

This scam preys on emotions of Muslims, asking them to donate to a foundation headed by Sultan Hassan Bolkiah, Sultan of Brunei.

Of course, a foundation by the name "Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Foundation" does exist. However, it would not need to ask for money (Brunei and the Sultan are oil rich), nor will it do so via an obscure email.

Here is the text of the mail:

Date: Thu, 19 Jul 2007 05:58:13 +0800 (BNT)
Subject: Stand up for Islam
From: "Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Mu'izzaddin Waddaulah" <sultan@netkad.com.bn>
To: foundation@netkad.com.bn

Greetings in the name of Allah, the most beneficent,the most merciful.

Dear friend in Islam,

In todays world where Islam is being linked to terrorism we muslims have a duty to defend our good religion thereby exonerating ourselves from the negative image being created by western media against our faith. No one else but we muslims can do this for ourselves. Age or gender is not a barrier you can always make an impact no matter who you are.

The sultan of Brunei is currently funding muslims willing to take up a role for the propagation of the good message of Islam. This is the work of ALLAH which we Muslims are called as revealed to his holliness prophet Muhammad(peace be unto his name). We must not continue allowing the western media determine the image of Islam to the whole world.

If you are willing to stand up for our faith please indicate your interest and also a pledge to use any money received judiciously. Then will my international fund managers contact you to raise you a bank draft/cheque. Since this is also a way of paying my zakat(Qur'an 9:60) I am still deciding on the amount you will receive but be informed when you receive the money you use it for the propagation of the good message of Islam for example in radio talk shows , TV , print , internet or any medium prefarable to you like charity works.If you are not in position to undertake this responsibility you may simply pass on any money received to any good muslim within your community who you feel can undertake this project, all I want is good results no matter how money spent.

Your response and any gratitude should be sent to the Sultan Haji Foundation at email: foundation@netkad.com.bn to the attention of my secretary Mr.Yang Mulia Awang Haji or to Mr.J. H.Bin Lunchai. Note that message sent otherwise will not get a reply.

At your leisure you may also view my photo gallery and others by going to website www.infofoto.org.bn

Best regards,

His Majesty Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Mu'izzaddin Waddaulah

Do our Sultan read and reply u

Wed, 2010/01/13 - 08:38

Salam,

I just wondering do our Sultan really read ur letter and have he replied. I know he is a busy man but come on do he have time to know about this his responsibilities are to make sure his country peace and safe. But there alot tiny2 thing that we would ask his assistant to handle. His is a great man but i know he also a normal human being. I don't think he have time for this kind of things.

I always wonder how can i write to his majesty to let him know my family really need help but i don't think that am so lucky enough.

Just something i want to share in case his majesty read this. Been living with my mother since she divorced with my dad when i was 2, she is a tough woman sacrifice so many thing for her kid but she can't fulfill all her kids ambition. Like me i also always wanted to continue my study. She promised me if i managed to get 9'Os she will send me oversea to continue my study but money really a matter. i did managed get 9'os with extra hard work taking 2 extra subject that i never learned in school and have only 2 months to study i was so lucky and i know this came with my hardwork. But now i was strangulated with money. i can't do educational loan since i working with the private company and my mother is self employed. We do have land heritage from my grandparent but unlucky it now under baidulmal which we need to paid quite big amount that even our self couldn't afford it.We though if we sell the land i can use the money to pay for my school fee but as i said i am not lucky enough yet.

If His Majesty really read this and can help fund my school fees, i will much appreciated to be one of the lucky girl in Brunei. i know there is local university in Brunei honestly speaking i don't see any potential outcome from it yet. Not saying that the local university is not good but the students are spoil since the education is free. i would not say much again or getting my self in trouble. Hope there is a place that people of Brunei can contribute ideas and on how to develop Brunei coz i know so many people out have good ideas, mission and so on but they don't dare to say much since most of bruneian is narrow minded. But in 2010 we young people must change that Brunei future is depend on us actually.

i apologies if i being impolite.
