America's Concerns

Committing Fraud Against Honest Americans


By Arlene Johnson

I am including this just as I received it as it has many typographical errors. But the main thing that I want to emphasize is that they are trying to commit fraud against people who have already been defrauded.

Personal Memo

DEAR BENEFICIARY,

HOW ARE YOU DOING TODAY HOPE THIS MESSAGE MEETS YOU WELL? I AM REV. FR. OLIVA GREEN, A SENIOR STAFF WITH THE WORLD BANK AUDIT GROUP IN UNITED KINGDOM (WBAG). I AM WRITING YOU THIS LETTER BECAUSE COOL PENNY IS BETTER THAN MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. IT IS BETTER FOR ONE TO LIVE AND DIE POOR HONEST MAN THAN A RICH DISHONEST ONE.

I AND THE CHIEF SECURITY OFFICER (CSO) OF THE WORLD BANK ZONAL OFFICE, HERE IN UK, HAVE ARRANGED WITH AN OFFICER IN THE COMPUTER SECTION {ENGINEER NGOYE DIAMA} TO BRING OUT PART OF YOUR TOTAL CONTRACT SUM AMOUNTING TO US$10 MILLION. WHY WE DID THIS IS BECAUSE ACCORDING TO INFORMATION GATHERED FROM THE DEBT OWNED TO THE FOREIGN CONTRACTORS BY THE WEST AFRICAN GOVERNMENT (S), THAT YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR A LONG TIME TO RECEIVE YOUR MONEY WITHOUT SUCCESS. AS I FOUND OUT THAT YOU HAVE ALMOST MET ALL THE STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS OF THE PAYING COUNTRY, IN RESPECT OF YOUR CONTRACT PAYMENT. YOUR PROBLEM IS THAT OF INTEREST GROUP. A LOT OF PEOPLE IS INTERESTED IN YOUR PAYMENT, AND THOSE PEOPLE ARE MERELY DOING PAPER WORKS WITH YOU. ALSO WE FOUND OUT THAT SOME OF THE OFFICIALS HAVE BEEN EXTORTING A LOT OF MONEY FROM YOU WITH THE PRETEXT OF HELPING YOU TO RECEIVE YOUR MONEY. I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT THIS MAY LAST FOR YEARS, YET NOTHING HAPPENS IF YOU DO NOT DO AWAY WITH THOSE OFFICERS YOU ENGAGE WITH. AND FOR SECURITY REASONS, DO NOT TELL ANYBODY THAT YOU HAVE YOUR MONEY UNTIL YOU RECEIVE CASH AT YOUR DOORSTEP.

THE MONEY IS IN ONE SECURITY-PROOF BOX WEIGHING 110KG. RECENTLY, A FRIEND OF MINE WHO IS A DIPLOMAT DISCLOSED TO ME THAT THERE IS A COURIER SERVICE COMPANY THEY USE TO SEND DIPLOMATIC MATERIALS, INFORMATION AND OTHER VALUABLES FROM ONE COUNTRY TO ANOTHER. IT HAS DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY AND CANNOT BE CHECKED BY ANY CUSTOMS ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD. YESTERDAY, WE MET WITH THE SECURITY COURIER COMPANY AND FINALIZED AND CONCLUDED ARRANGEMENTS ON HOW TO SHIP THE MONEY BY COURIER TO YOU.

WE TOLD THE COURIER SERVICE COMPANY THAT THE BOXES CONTAINED FILM MATERIALS,AND WHEN OPEN WILL SPOIL THE MATERIALS. WE DID NOT DECLARE MONEY BECAUSE COURIER DOES NOT CARRY MONEY. THIS IS SOMETHING WE WANT TO AVOID BECAUSE THE BOXES WERE PADDED WITH SYNTHETIC NYLON AND TO OPEN THEM, YOU HAVE TO CUT THE PAD BEFORE YOU WILL MEET THE BUTTONS THAT YOU WILL PRESS TO OPEN THE DIAL CODE-LOCK. THERE IS NO WAY YOU CAN OPEN THE BOXES AND BE ABLE TO CLOSE THEM AGAIN BECAUSE THEY WERE PADDED WITH MACHINE. I WILL MEET THEM AS SOON AS I HAVE YOUR GO AHEAD ORDER. THE DIPLOMAT WILL HELP ME SO WE DO NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEM. WE HAVE CONCLUDED THAT YOU MUST COMPENSATE US BY DONATING THE SUM OF FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLAR (US$500,000.00) TO CHARITY (LESS PRIVILEGES), AS SOON AS YOU RECEIVE YOUR MONEY.

TO THIS EFFECT, YOU WILL SEND TO ME A PROMISSORY NOTE FOR FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLAR (US$500,000.00). HOWEVER, DO RECONFIRM YOUR DELIVERY ADDRESS FOR SENDING THE BOXES BY COURIER. PLEASE MAINTAIN TOPMOST SECRECY AS IT MAY CAUSE A LOT OF PROBLEMS IF FOUND OUT THAT WE ARE USING THIS WAY TO HELP YOU. DO NOT EVER TELL ANYBODY ABOUT THIS UNTIL YOU HAVE YOUR MONEY. I WANT TO HELP YOU BECAUSE SOMETHING IN ME IS TELLING ME THAT YOU ARE AN HONEST PERSON AND YOU HAVE SUFFERED A LOT IN THE PROCESS OF REALIZING YOUR MONEY. WHEN YOU CONCLUDE THIS AND YOU SEND OUR PROMISE, WE WILL HELP TO SHIP THE FINAL PART OF YOUR MONEY TOYOU. GOD BE WITH US AS WE WAIT FOR YOUR REPLY.

PLEASE DO NOT FAIL TO CALL ME ON MY DIRECT TELEPHONE NUMBER +447031907006 OR Email:
[email protected] or [email protected] UPON YOUR RECEIPT OF THIS IMPORTANT MESSAGE.

Yours faithfully,

REV. FR. OLIVA GREEN
Director, Special Duties
