21st May 2018 - Advance Fee Fraud Scam

On 21st May 2018, telephone number +27735004490 was reported as being used by scammers to pretend to be Pat Ovie working for First National Bank using email address mydealing54@gmail.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.
Hello my intended friend

I am Mr. Pat Ovie, I work for the First National Bank (FNB) of South Africa as an Account Manager in Private Banking and Wealth Management. I have a well thought after proposal which will be of immense benefit to me and you if we agree to work together. There is a foreign client of mine, a Nigerian politician who died of heart attack in Saudi Arabia in the year 2010 and since then no one has come forward to lay claims to his money. I know that after ten years of dormancy according by the law his money would be forfeited to the national treasury, hence I seek to contact you.

It will be my pleasure to present you as the deceased business partner and the beneficiary to his estate of US$16.3Million. Please note that my reason for seeking the collaboration of a total stranger is to make sure that high confidentiality required in the Endeavour is upheld. Once I get an indication of interest from you I will intimate you of the process that will follow.

I shall remain positive to hearing from you.

Please respond to mydealing54@gmail.com

Pat Ovie
