Have you received an email from "Mr Paul Clifford " of Zenith Bank ATM, claiming
"I found out that you have not received your payment due to your lack of co-operation and not fulfilling the obligations giving to you in respect to your contract payment.Secondly, you are hereby adviced to stop dealing with some non-officials in the bank as this is an illegal act"
and they owe you money from a "contract/inheritance payment file" or a pyament to "Scam victims" or some other nonsense, and they will send you the money on an ATM card, if you contact "Paul Clifford"? "Mr Paul Clifford " is a educated and highly ranking lawyer, banker or government official who apparently can't spell and feels the odd need to randomly capitalize some WORDS (like that). Add to that the fact that you have never heard of anyone being paid for anything by "ATM card" and this should immediately strike you as a scam. Allow us to point out the inconsistencies and how the scam works.
It's a mystery why Mr Paul Clifford named you as a beneficiary or what the "contract" is, but you better reply pretty quickly or risk losing millions from the "contract/inheritance payment file". Also notice that the "lawyer" or official is writing to you from a free email account (Yahoo, Hotmail, etc.); in fact, they typically use more than one different free email accounts.
