Scam ATM Card Payment
Money Transfers
Example - Rev. James Wade
we wish to inform you that we have already prepared the ATM CARD on your favor and it's now activated and ready for use which you will use to be making
".
United Bank for Africa (UBA)
Have you received an email from "Rev. James Wade", claiming
"we wish to inform you that we have already prepared the ATM CARD on your favor and it's now activated and ready for use which you will use to be making withdrawal of your fund in maximum amount of US$8,000 / US$10,000 per day in any ATM CARD center worldwide without any query from any authority, and the scanned copy of it is hereby attached for your perusal before the delivery will take place to your address."
How's that for a run-on gibberish sentence? Why do they want you
to have an ATM card they allows you to withdraw $10,000 per day, if you just contact "United Bank for Africa (UBA)"?
"Rev. James Wade" is a educated and highly ranking bank official who apparently can't spell and
feels the odd need to randomly capitalize some WORDS (like that).
Rev Jim seems to have found his true calling, outside of the
church... as a bank director? More likely, a scammer! You'd think a
minister would be more literate and not feel the need to oddly capitalize every
occurrence of "ATM CARD", nor write "I advice you" instead of "I advise you" and
so on.
Add to that
the fact that you have never heard of anyone being paid for anything by "ATM
card" and this should immediately strike you as a scam. Allow us to point out the
inconsistencies and how the scam works.
It's a mystery why Rev. James Wade named you as a
beneficiary or what the "contract" is, but you better reply
pretty quickly or risk losing millions from the "contract/inheritance payment
file". Also notice that the "lawyer"
or official is writing to you from a free email account (Yahoo, Hotmail, etc.); in fact,
they typically use more than one different free email accounts.
