Good day, I was shocked when you stopped communicating with me, I really can't understand your reason for doing so, but I am very happy now to inform you about my success in getting the fund out of the bank with the help of a staff working in the remittance office and also with the special assistance of a French business woman that catered for other logistics. However, I left the sum of $16.4M (Sixteen Million Four Hundred Thousand United States Dollars Only) in a care of my secretary. The $16.4M is for you and it is purposely for your compensation for your little effort in this transaction.

I would have waited to hear from you so i can transfer it to you, but I lack the time to do that now because I have to urgently meet up with my business colleagues in Russia. I will be heading to the airport as soon as I send you this email because I will be traveling out of my country to Russia where I shall continue with a petroleum business engagements. For your own good, contact my secretary through his email address so that he can transfer the money to you.

Below is the contact details:

E-Mail: mrericthompson@mailbox.co.za
Telephone: +27 748 204 139

I will no longer be able to email you again.

11th September 2018 - Lottery Scam

On 11th September 2018, telephone number +27748204139 was reported as being used by scammers to pretend to be Eric Thompson using email address mrericthompson@mailbox.co.za as part of a Lottery Scam.

A Lottery Scam is a variation of an Advance Fee Fraud Scam. Instead of the victim being offered an inheritance or some other funds by a stranger, they will be told that their email has won an online lottery and to collect their prize they just have to email someone to claim it. Of course, there will be fees that need to be paid, and the prize (usually cash, but sometimes luxury cars as well) doesn't actually exist. These scams often pretend that the lottery is being sposored by a multi-national corportation sch as Ford, BMW, Microsoft or Facebook; although sometimes they claim to actually be a real lottery such as the UK National Lottery. There is no such thing as a lottery that picks random email addresses to win - if you haven't purchased a ticket for a specific lottery then you can't win it.

Here is the email that the scammer sent to his victims.
