25th April 2018 - Advance Fee Fraud Scam

On 25th April 2018, telephone number +255798517954 was reported as being used by scammers to pretend to be Dr Philip Mpango using email address philipmpango18@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. 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.
Dear Beneficiary,

transacting with those countries to prevent further scams but few listened while some are ignorant of their mistakes.

who have never received their winning fund from Africa till date.The settlement includes lottery winners,compensation
funds,inheritance,ATM card payment as well as western union and money gram bonus payments.You are among the

you prefer.And having said the above,i will never repeat this email to any of the intended beneficiary who are to receive
their fund from my office.Although i will make sure the message gets to you all and those who responds are those to be
