12th May 2021 - Advance Fee Fraud Scam

On 12th May 2021, telephone number +2348068548242 was reported as being used by scammers to pretend to be Alex Oputa using email address mralexoputaprivacy@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.

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.
Dear Sir,

I am Mr Alex Oputa the newly appointed Head of legal representative of
the Central Bank of Nigeria the Nigerian Apex Bank, I assumed office
on January 11th 2021. I was directed to source out reasons why some
beneficiaries within the Afro-Asian region, Europe and American
continent has been having problems of delay in receiving their Scam
Victim Compensation Funds. Since my assumption in office I have
discovered that there are uncleared file which has since been lying
waste in the office of accountant general of the Central Bank Of
Nigeria.

Having discovered this, I asked the Accountant General why the file is
kept unattended and what is to be done, he told me that beneficiaries
refused to pay the legal clearance service charge of $180 only. In
this unattended file are list of beneficiaries who have not paid this
fee to enable the legal team of Central Bank clear their files.
Henceforth your name is among the listed beneficiary.

Now I am writing to you in order to inform you and also let you know
that the only thing that has kept your COMPENSATION Fund of $10.5m not
to get to you is a legal clearance token fee of $180 only. If you can
send this fee across through World Remit or any other quick money
transfer method between now and Thursday this next week, it means by
Friday your fund will be transferred to your nominated bank account in
your country with out any hitch. I need your response so that I can
immediately send the Agent's name where you will send the fee to
enable our legal team work out the modalities. Contact me directly @
(mralexoputaprivacy@gmail.com)
