8th May 2019 - Advance Fee Fraud Scam

On 8th May 2019, telephone number +12028523781 was reported as being used by scammers to pretend to be Peter Fred using email address onowestsider1@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.
The Central Bank (CBN) said on Thursday that swindlers using Nigerian
names had extorted millions of dollars from people in the United
States, Asia and Europe under the guise of transferring cash
abroad.The elaborate fraud involves fake official approval to transfer
up to 15 million dollars in excess claims on bogus Nigerian contracts
as well as pledges to cut the claims amount for help in the use of
offshore bank accounts.

A CBN statement warned foreign companies and businessmen not to fall
for the confidence trick, saying that the bank had been surprised and
embarrassed by enquirers relating to the fraud. “The bank has no
knowledge or record whatsoever of the purported claims or transfers,
or even the related alleged contracts,” it said.

British companies are being warned against a get-rich-quick scam
involving thousands of letters sent from firms based in Nigeria.The
letters ask UK firms to assist in the transfer of funds from Nigeria
to Britain — by sending signed headed paper, invoices and bank account
details — in return for a cut of the sum transferred. Instead of
transferring sums, the UK firm’s money is removed by the fraudsters.
Scotland Yard says that some companies have lost thousands of pounds
in this way. About 25,000 letters are circulating in the UK. But the
scale of the losses — which could run to many millions according to
the Confederation of British Industry — is masked because some victims
are ashamed to admit that they took part in such schemes in the first
place.

A recent variation of the scam directed primarily at charitable
organizations and religious bodies overseas involves bogus inheritance
under a will. Again the sole aim is to collect the ‘advance fees’
already described above. A new strategy that has also been used to
defraud the ‘victims’ is to offer to use chemicals to transform
ordinary paper into United States dollar bills, which would be
subsequently shared by the parties.

If you are part of this scam victims don't be afraid to tell us what
has being going on with you.Then tell us how long you are part of this
scam 'like how much you have paid' and when was the last time you send
money to them. The (CBN) bank with UN agreed to compassion you with
$4.5 million usd. CBN auditors normally cross-check our files and our
financial update. The CBN officials want your accrued interest to be
paid in full,So your urgent respond is needed as matter of urgency
