25th October 2018 - Advance Fee Fraud Scam

On 25th October 2018, telephone number +12028589249 was reported as being used by scammers to pretend to be Paul Anthony using email address paula_12nthony@outlook.com as part of an Advance Fee Fraud Scam.

In Advance Fee Fraud Scams, the scammer will offer you something of high value (a large sum of money or gold for example) and all you have to do is pay a "small" fee. What the scammer is offering you does not actually exist and the scammer will come up with fee after fee that needs to be paid by the victims, until he either runs out of money or realises that he has been scammed. The scammer will often pretend to be real people or companies, use fake websites and introduce various characters, all with the aim of convincing the victim that what is being offered to him is real.

Here is the email that the scammer sent to his victims.
Attention Fund Beneficiary:

This office is hereby warning you to desist from sending someone else to come and claim your fund without any prior information to them. This is making it the second time such thing is happening, you have to know that this is diplomat PAUL ANTHONY , and my work is to make sure that you receive your fund worth of $17.5 Million USD in united state currency.
