ATTENTION: xxxx yyyyy

Welcome to the INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUNDS HEAD DEPARTMENT. My name is Mr. Jeofrey Cole The head department officer of the IMF. In regards of your email you sent to this office i understand you are skeptical about this transaction due to previous experience you might have had with fraud stars but my dear i assure you that you are communicating with the IMF and we wouldn't ask you for money for our personal use, we are trying to put you on the right trail to make sure you follow every procedures carefully to avoid misleading you.

The IMF is doing every possible thing to make sure that all this scam is been put to an end and we will surely make it up to you it might baffle you that why is this coming from Africa we have an annex branch in Africa because that is were our paying department is located due to the fact that so many citizens were scammed out from Africa.

Note, the funds you are about getting is a money inheritance that was issued to you through a raffle draw that was done by the (FRONT OFFSHORE COMPENSATION HEAD OFFICE).

If you put in mind that you are going to be scammed out again or all this look suspicious to you then i bet you give a try and see what it takes to believe the IMF and i assure you that everything will be fine and you will be happy for ever, Since the last 4months we have succeeded in putting smiles to over 679 individuals from different countries and right now yours wouldn't be different because we believe you can make it if you determine and all we require is your trust and nothing more to be able to know the reasons of what you are paying for and we have receipts to issue for every payment you have made for future reference, been filed by our head quarter in UK. If you find it difficult to make payment to Africa you can as well make the payment to our head office in UK without further fear of loosing your money.

God bless you as you read understand and comply with the above email. Thank you.

Oh, my, doesn't he have a high opinion of himself and his cohorts! He imagines them as "stars" Laughing

"Fraud stars" is one of those lad classics---a bit like "100% risky free". It's been around for a while now, and I still always use it to refer to other scammers when I'm writing to my current favourites.

It probably isnt a recovery scam as such, but it is pitched at previous victims, who they know are more likely to fall for another scam.

Jeofrey wrote again, to ask me if wanted the money by ATM, transfer or 'diplomatic means' (ie setting me up for a wash wash scam). I decided to panic him a bit:

Quote:

Dear Jeofrey,

Just send me a cheque thanks, failing that, tell me more about diplomatic means - shall I go to your headquarters in London for it?, I can give them a call to arrange it now.

Roy'

I cant find a London address for the IMF, but Jeofrey doesn't know that. I have found their real email address, but I wont give it him, as he may use it to help his credibility in the future.

Note he hasnt actually asked for any money yet, but we know that's still to come. Wink
