16th June 2022 - Advance Fee Fraud Scam

On 16th June 2022, telephone number +22961665177 was reported as being used by scammers to pretend to be Francesca Armel using email address wwwwserv@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.
Attn Sir/Madam!

I have informed you this before and i want to inform you again,
because you may think that i'm just joking about it and that may be
the reason why you are reluctant to follow the directive giving to you
to receive your fund.

Meanwhile, i want to make it clear for you and inform you for the last
time, so if you fail to receive your fund, you will not blame anybody,
but yourself for your inability to comply with the simple instruction
to receive your fund.

Your fund Transfer File was brought to my desk because the Director &
Management of UNITED BANK FOR AFRICA & WESTERN UNION/MONEY GRAM have
resolved to cancel your transfer and credit it into the Government
Treasury account because you could not pay the transfer charge, which
is US$25 only. In wise reasoning to this complaint, i decide to hear
from you first to know your reason for abandoning such amount of fund
(US$950,000.00) which is your rightful & legal overdue inheritance
payment just because of transfer fee $25 only.

The reason why I send this email to you is because it's your right to
claim your fund and you still have this last chance to claim your fund
if only you can pay the required transfer fee of US$25 to enable me to
enforce your transfer for you at once.

However, if you want to receive your fund now as i stated above, then
you will have to use this information below to send the fee via
western union or Money Gram or World remit or Ria Money Transfer that
will enable us to release your fund for you immediately as you like us
to release it for you:

Receiver Name: _____ James Efe
Location Address: _ Route de l'Aéroport, 01 BP 301 Cotonou - Bénin
State/City: _____ Cotonou
Country: _____ Benin Republic
Amount: _____ US$25
Telephone no: _____ (+229) 90 08 59 99

Thanks and we await your urgent reply.

Mrs. Francesca Armel,

I believe that you have not forgotten me, you did your very best to assist me but could not conclude the transaction with me.

I thank God too much for all He has done.

So i'm very glad to write this mail to you today, God is really wonderful and so kind to me, God makes a way where there is no way, I did not believe that I will move out from Benin by now, but God made it possible for me. So I am happy to inform you about my success in getting those funds transferred under my new partner from Asuncion, Paraguay, I am currently in the Asuncion for my studies here in the Paraguay, Meanwhile, I did not forget all your past efforts and attempts to assist me that time in transferring those funds despite that it failed us somehow due to one reason or the other.

I asked her to send a certified bank check of ($ 250,000.00 USD) Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand United State dollars, which I prepared for you and kept for your compensation for all efforts and attempts to assist me in this matter, knowing fully well that i would have not succeeded if not your advice and encouragement to me at that time. Please accept this little token as it is, but I really appreciate your efforts at that time very much. So feel free to contact Reverend Sister Rita Markhue at: (sister_rita@outlook.com) and Cell: (+22961665177) and inform her how to send you the Cashier Check of $250,000 to you.

Finally, remember that I had forwarded instruction to the Reverend Sister Rita Markhue on your behalf to receive that money but you have to reconfirm it again to avoid any mistake. So do not hesitate to contact her and she will send the amount to you without any delay.
