8th March 2018 - Advance Fee Fraud Scam

On 8th March 2018, telephone number +22996182612 was reported as being used by scammers to pretend to be Jimmy Peter using email address unionwestern949@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.
