15th December 2022 - Advance Fee Fraud Scam

On 15th December 2022, telephone number +234130994793 was reported as being used by scammers to pretend to be Dr. John Pedro using email address johnpedro58@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,

Complements of the season ,Hope you are doing good.This time, I have
decided to make a direct approach to you by breaking my silence.

I do not know if you have asked yourself why each time the release of
this fund is approved, all of a sudden, the payment will be stopped or
you will be ask to send more money endlessly. If you have not asked
this question or you do
not know, this is an opportunity for me to tell you because enough is enough.

Few years ago, some men who claim to be year partners, {I mean the
people that introduced you to the project} approached me through my
dear wife and requested me to assist them conclude a money transfer
deal they had with you. They requested me to assist them by removing
the original contractors name{ Engr. Thomas Heywood}

company’s name and bank particulars from the Central Bank of Nigeria
(CBN) vetting computer and replacing them with your name and your bank
details in order to make you appear as the rightful beneficiary of
this fund. I agreed on condition that they will pay me US$700,000 as
soon as your name appears as the beneficiary.

After I succeeded in programming your name, all of a sudden, I did
not hear from them again till date.

Based on their attitude, I decided to stop the fund release movement
because I was not sure of their intention anymore as it might affect
my job.

Secondly, I know the source of the funds that you did not execute any
contract in Nigeria, although I am the only person privileged to know
this information and it is a fact. Why I am making this clear to you
is because I can see that you are still making efforts in order to
conclude this project and have spent so much money without anything to
show for it.

I therefore need your assurance that those colleagues of yours will be
totally kept out of this transaction till confirmation of this fund is
made via swift.

I know that none of them is aware of my new approach to you. I
personally did the work at the beginning and it is only me who can
make the swift a huge success if you agree to work with me
confidentially.

I am a man of my word. If you are ready to conclude this business with
me, contact me on my mobile phone +234-0130994793 so that we can work
out the best ways of bringing this to a successful and favorable
conclusion.

Yours truly,

DR.JOHN PEDRO.
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR SWIFT/WIRE TRANSFER DEPT {CBN}
