David Mark

 

Fraud.

One out of five.

OFFICE OF THE SENATE HOUSE
FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA
COMMITTEE ON FOREIGN PAYMENT
(RESOLUTIONPANEL ON CONTRACT PAYMENT)
IKOYI-LAGOS NIGERIA
E-mail: senatedvdmark@hotmail.com

FILE CODE #: ATM/LAG/NG

ATTN: BENEFICIARY,

IMMEDIATE RELEASE OF YOUR INHERITANCE FUND VIA ATM SWIFT CARD.

In close consultation with the World Bank, IMF and the European Union (EU), this is to notify you of your enlistment as a beneficiary of a recent Debt Management and Settlement Forum organized on the status of global arrangement to have your beneficiary fund settled once and for all. Of course, In the hope that you must have been aware of the past financial leakages in the European foreign inheritance payment system, and frustrations associated there from in your last attempt to claim your fund, fund of beneficiaries (like your self) was subjected to unnecessary bureaucratic bottlenecks in lieu of claiming funds due to them. The World Body,

having solicited and received the cooperation of Nigerian Presidency, in harmonizing the sequence of payments, have discovered from records of outstanding foreign inheritance fund of beneficiaries due them, that your name and payment has been with held and remain unpaid as a result of such bottleneck. On the prompting of this finding, I wish to officially notify you that all aspects of your payment claim is being harmonized, enabling payment to be released to you as urgently as you act on the instructions of this mail.

Consequently, Afribank Nigeria Plc has been directed by the World Body to off set these outstanding debts, using ATM Swift Card payment arrangement. Already, a total amount of USD500 Million has been provided to the bank for this purpose and it is on first come first serve. With this arrangement, I wish to inform you that Afribank Nigeria Plc has been instructed to issue in your name an Atm Cash Card with the valued amount of USD6.3M. In paying this amount to you, please note that it is without Prejudice to your original inheritance sum. Rather, it is a stop-gap payment arrangement put in place by the World Body to on the one hand ensure that you receive part of your fund, while on the other hand ensure that the process is smooth and without any form of stress whatsoever, whereas a comprehensive arrangement shall be made in future to pay off the remaining fund due to you.

However, we are worried with the counter information received from one Mr. Casey Collins , purporting to be from your directive, with express instruction to activate the ATM Cash Card for release of fund to his name a bank account in the "Cayman Islands" Obviously, we are hesitant to honor this instruction as it were, and would request that you clarify same upon your contact with Afribank Nigeria Plc . In addition to that, you should provide the bank with the following details to forestall any mistake of issuing the ATM Card with the wrong information already submitted by Mr. Casey Collins:

(1) Your full names, address, phone, fax and Cell numbers (up to date) for ease of contact
(2) Beneficiary name for activation of your ATM CARD.

Believing that this arrangement will suit your condition and expectations, we will therefore request for your expedited response to avoid any more delay. Your response should be directed to Afribank Nigeria Plc ,Dr Dom Ibekwe ; Director Atm Payment Dept through his official email address: atm_paymentcentre106@yahoo.fr, Tel: 234-806-984-8682 ,Your file reference code for your payment is ATM/LAG/NG and should be quoted in your contact mail to the bank otherwise the bank will not recognize or process your ATM Swift Payment.

I also recieved this very same email this morning (thanksgiving day 2007).
It appears these scammers are getting more sophisticated as I also recieved 2 scam emails from this Mr. Casey Collins that is mentioned, a while back. I aqnswered the first one asking for more clarity as to what was being offered/required of me to which I recieved the second (which I never answered) offering more focused information.

I also emailed David Mark saying that I am aware of his previous fraud and contacted my bank already.

I shouldn't trust people that easily.

What is the safe way of selling my mobile phone that i do not use? I need some money and would be happy to sell it in a safe way rather than risk further troubl.

I sell things I don't want through eBay. Always do the transaction in PayPal. That way you won't get stung. If you do and you've followed eBay's rules they'll pay up.

But never send the product until the money is in your hands and always send anything you can't replace recorded delivery.

If you always insist on PaylPal, crooks generally don't want to know.

Can I sell an item safely through PayPal without involving eBay?
There is few people that is interested in buying my phone...the problem is i do not trust anyone now.
shall i rather put it on eBay than sell individually?
Sorry to bother you again.

i got the same email this evening .. i have had loads of scam emails over the last 2 years .. i dont think they are the least bit sophisticated .. they are in my opinion PAINFULLY OBVIOUS - THEY ARE PATHETIC .. i flick them a quick email and tell them i've become a billionaire in the last few months and to give it to someone else ..!!

the closest i've seen to REAL is the mail from the denmark or wherever lottery - it all looks real like readers digest .. but OBVIOUSLY SCAM BECAUSE THEY ASK FOR BLINKIN MONEY BEFORE THEY GIVE YOU THE MANY THOUSANDS THAT THEY SAY YOU HAVE REAL WON .. then they go on to say THIS IS NOT A JOKE - how obvious is that AND back to the email scams .. they ASK for your PERSONAL DETAILS including bank details .. have to be stupid to do it .. i've sent copies to the authorities but i dont think they do a blinkin thing because they never even bother to respond ..
