Scam ATM Card Payment
Money Transfers
Example - ALHAJI MUSA BELLO
WE HAVE VERIFIED YOUR CONTRACT/ INHERITANCE FILE AND FOUND OUT THAT WHY YOU HAVE NOT RECEIVED YOUR PAYMENT IS BECAUSE YOU HAVE NOT FULFILLED THE OBLIGATIONS GIVEN TO YOU IN RESPECT OF YOUR CONTRACT/INHERITANCE PAYMENT.
DR. AKINSOLA AKINFEMIWA
Have you received an email from "ALHAJI MUSA BELLO", claiming "WE HAVE VERIFIED YOUR CONTRACT/ INHERITANCE FILE AND FOUND OUT THAT WHY YOU HAVE NOT RECEIVED YOUR PAYMENT IS BECAUSE YOU HAVE NOT FULFILLED THE OBLIGATIONS GIVEN TO YOU IN RESPECT OF YOUR CONTRACT/INHERITANCE PAYMENT."
(yes, it is all in capitals) and Nigeria owes you money from a "contract/inheritance payment
file", whatever that may be, and he will send you the money on an ATM card,
if you contact "DR. AKINSOLA AKINFEMIWA"?
"ALHAJI MUSA BELLO" is a highly educated and highly ranking lawyer or government official who apparently can't spell and
feels the odd need to randomly capitalize some WORDS (like that). He also writes
from an email address in Argentina. If this
doesn't immediately strike you as a scam, then allow us to point out the
inconsistencies and how the scam works.
It's a mystery who the dead guy is or why he named you as a beneficiary or what the "contract" was, but you better reply
pretty quickly or risk losing millions from the "contract/inheritance payment
file". Also notice that the "lawyer" is writing to you from a free email account (Yahoo, Hotmail, etc.); in fact,
they typically use more than one different free email accounts.
Of
course, even if what is presented in the email were true; you would be committing several felonies,
including fraud.
