20th December 2017 - Advance Fee Fraud Scam

On 20th December 2017, telephone number +22968516544 was reported as being used by scammers to pretend to be Philip Johnson using email address atmcardofficeplcact47@yahoo.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.
Greetings Dear Customer,

I’m MR.PHILIP JOHNSON, the new appointed UPS man of Regular Mail Post Office branched at Cotonou Benin Republic. I resumed this office on 12th, June, 2017. On going through the files of the previous records of this office, I discovered that there are three parcels containing ATM Visa cards each one attached with an email address of the owner on it.

The former appointee of this office (Alhaji Ahmed Musa Jr.) failed to carry out the delivery as it was instructed and programmed. Probably, one of his reasons for not carrying out the delivery was that you have not provided your postal address to him for the completion of the delivery as he remarked According to the content recorded in each file, the ATM Visa card was deposited by one Senior Evangelist Mathew Peterson who died one year back as a charity foundation parcel to each of the three of you. On the statement he wrote on the list, he stated that each of the aforementioned ATM Visa card contains the sum of US$15,500,000.00 USD and he found your email contacts as reputable and capable persons that can use the charity awarded ATM Visa Card to change the lives of people.

Meanwhile, I've made the arrangement of delivering the three parcels through DHL COURIER DELIVERY company BENIN REPUBLIC to the three of you to your respective address. Am also sending the same message of the same content to three of you that own the three abandoned ATM CARDS each at the same time. If found in spam folder, it could be due to your Internet Service Provider, ISP. So move to your inbox before you can reply.

I went to our head office at Cotonou Benin Republic and reported the issue of the discovered three ATM Visa card in my office and they verified it and gave me the veto order to carry out the delivery immediately you have reconfirmed your mailing address to this office in order for us to deliver the ATM CARD directly to you after Postal Stamp of the parcel. Note, below information is officially needed for posting of the CARD ASAP.

Full name.................
