22nd October 2020 - Advance Fee Fraud Scam

On 22nd October 2020, telephone number +27730919709 was reported as being used by scammers to pretend to be Craig Nelson working for Craig Nelson & Associates using email address crnelson231@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.
Dar

I am an attorney engaged in consultancy work in the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy for over 12 years here in Johannesburg South Africa, there is an outstanding contract payment (the Sum of $25m, Twenty Five Million USD) from an executed contract that i seek to have the funds transferred with your cooperation and assistance. I contacted you seeking to partner with you in receiving the funds and investing in any lucrative venture. All necessary arrangements had been made to have these funds moved out and released with your cooperation to a Private Bank in the Uk. This Bank offers online banking service which will be best suited for us to have the funds released.
While counting on your advice on investment opportunities, i have my thoughts and mind in Real Estates, Hospitality and any other lucrative financial investment you may have. We can still factor in whatever will be best profitable for the both of us.
Thanks
Craig Nelson
