10th June 2021 - Advance Fee Fraud Scam

On 10th June 2021, telephone number +19799225417 was reported as being used by scammers to pretend to be Eric Kneedler using email address erickneedler@aol.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.
U.S. AMBASSADOR TO KENYA
OFFICE OF THE U.S AMBASSADOR TO KENYA
P.O. Box 606 Village Market 00621 Nairobi, Kenya
Telephone: +1 979 922-5417

Dear Beneficiary,

I shall be coming to your country for an official meeting on Friday
25th/June/2021 and i shall be bringing your Fund of $15.5m Along with
me but this time i will not go through Custom because as an Ambassador
to FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF KENYA, I am a US GOVERNMENT AGENT and i have
the veto power to go through Custom. As soon as I am through with my
meeting I shall then proceed to your registered house address with
your Consignment Fund.

Without missing words, I am convinced 100% that you have had bitter
experiences with various 'scams' claiming to be high government
officials and thereby defrauding you of your 'hard-earned money'. The
activities of these scam have changed your perspective about
conducting business on the internet, and you now believe there is no
genuine business that can be conducted on the internet. Well, I am an
American and the internet was created by Americans for the purpose of
creating awareness for your products/services and conducting genuine
business with ease. I am fully committed to deliver the "diplomatic
consignment" to you at your doorstep within 48hours in order to
differentiate myself from the many Benin Republic, Nigeria and other
government officials you have dealt with.

I am a full citizen of the United States, but I was on a Foreign
Mission here in KENYA as a US Ambassador. Hence, I am making every
effort to ensure that no citizen of the United States and other parts
of the world is cheated by Nigeria, Benin Republic. Therefore, I need
your utmost support and understanding to actualize this dream. I also
want you to understand that I do trust you and I expect you to show me
the same trust and respect
in return since trust is a 2-way street. On the other hand, trust is a
relationship of reliance. Trust also means being able to predict what
other people will do and what situations will occur.

Trust is both an emotional and logical act. Emotionally, it is where
you expose your vulnerabilities to people, but believing they will not
take advantage of your openness. Logically, it is where you have
assessed the probabilities of gain and loss, calculating expected
utility based on hard performance data, and concluded that the person
in question will behave in a predictable manner. In practice, trust is
a bit of both. I trust you because I have experienced your
trustworthiness by merely believing in what I have said, even when you
have not seen me, and because I have faith in human nature.

Frankly speaking, I understand that anyone in your shoes will feel
betrayed, but I still want you to show me your trust by giving me the
benefit of doubt on this delivery arrangement. My identity and
personality is verifiable, and I promise to deliver the consignment to
you safely without any hitch. YOUR PACKAGE ($15.5m) MUST BE REGISTERED
AS AN AMBASSADORIAL PACKAGE as planned. Do not allow this mission to
die
off because of $400 US Dollars for the registration fee of your
Consignment Luggage, I meant so well for you and I believe you will
appreciate me more when you have finally received your payment of
$15,500.000.00 US Dollars upon my arrival with the package in your
country.

I will use my position and personality to deposit the $15,500.000.00
USD into your bank account without questioning from the financial
monitoring authorities, since all documentation proving the legitimacy
of the funds has been processed. Please don't see me as one of the
numerous dubious Benin Republic or Nigeria you have dealt with in the
past. I am a different person entirely and I come from a different
continent.
I have the American spirit in me and I hate cheaters. I promise to
always uphold the national unity of the United States. Please reply
back ASAP and let me know your possibility of sending the $400 US
Dollars today. You can send it via WORLD REMIT money transfer with
the below information, please copy the name correctly outlined below
to avoid mistakes.

Account Officer Info: WORLD REMIT money transfer only.

Receiver's Name:......
Country:....... Nairobi Kenya
Amount:.......$400US Dollars

comply before then so that the delivery will be completed. If you do
not comply, then it will not be my fault if you do not receive your
Package. I hope you will understand and follow my instructions to
enable me to serve you
better. YOU CAN ADD OR CALL MY DIRECT NUMBER:+1 979 922-5417.
