Scam ATM Card Payment
Money Transfers
Example - Mr. MIKE ANTHON or MR. ROBERT SCOTT DEWAR at BRITISH HIGH COMMISSION
...received a report of scam against you and other British/US citizens and Malaysia, Etc. whom the country of Nigeria/Benin,Bokinafaso And Ghana have recompensed you due...
229-9793 2215
Have you received an email from "Mr. MIKE ANTHON at BRITISH HIGH COMMISSION", claiming
they "...received a report of scam against you and other British/US citizens and Malaysia, Etc. whom the country of Nigeria/Benin,Bokinafaso And Ghana have recompensed you due..." 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 "229-9793 2215"?
"Mr. MIKE ANTHON at BRITISH HIGH COMMISSION" 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). 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 "contract" the, 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.
