19th June 2021 - Advance Fee Fraud Scam

On 19th June 2021, telephone number +27731157976 was reported as being used by scammers to pretend to be Lesetja Kganyago working as Governor for Reserve Bank of South Africa using email address melesetja@yahoo.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 Sir

I am surprise that you are yet to seek for my intervention/assistance in your long awaited pending contract payment. By my experience and encounter with people from your country, is that they are very articulate and place great value to their time. They do not allow their dealings or transaction to be subjected to a crinkum-crankum without any meaningful result. I believe by now you should have secretly sought for my private email or phone number to put an end to your time wastage, dribbling and empty promises from those whom you believe that are helping you to get your pending payment from our Commercial Bank In Africa.

Have you not pondered why after series of fee that you have paid so far to conclude your pending payment transaction; you are still confronted with empty promises. I have observed that you are still ignorant of how best to resolve your payment challenge, that is why you still depend on the promises of the same people that are causing your problems. With this your approach, you will not receive this payment even in the next 20years. These people helping you are also contributing to your problems because of incompetency. If you do not ignore them NOW, you will continue in this merry-go-round trip with your pending payment without any useful result.

Reserve Bank of South Africa, being the Central Hub of all African Apex Bank, has been mandated to handle all overdue pending payment to eliminate backlogs of previous years pending payment in Africa in-line with the ongoing Organization of African Unity’s (OAU) re-branding exercise in Africa Economic Development. This is to encourage foreign investors and encourage infrastructure development all around Africa

Your pending payment suffered this great delay due to knowledge gap on the side of the staffs handling it previously, using an outdated foreign remittance policy/schedule to process your payment in a bid to save cost for you. This gave rise to the continues query from different financial regulatory authority, and the called back of your payment fund to Reserve Bank of South Africa

I urge you to be observant with my official email address which I used in contacting you, and confirm from google that it is our Apex Bank official domain (lesetja.Kganyago@resbank.co.za) for your confirmation. However, I will prefer my email transmission with you to be via my personal email for swift processing and direct monitoring of your payment fund. Email:melesetja@yahoo.com

If you are ready to receive your fund, please write me back immediately, for me to authorize your payment within three (3) working days. However, if you are still adamant, please save this email to remind you that I once offered to solve this problem for you. I pray I will not change my mind when you will realize I am the only one that can help you out. You must keep this conversation confidential, for security reasons.

Thanks

Mr. Lesetja Kganyago
(Governor of Reserve Bank of South Africa)
