While these spam messages of people saying they have thousands of dollars in funds and need your help to release them isn’t anything new, I thought this one was kind of funny. Essentially, it seemed like it was targeting people who have already been scammed to then trust this other fictional person to help them get their money back. As usual, it seems like they use a standardized template with the name and address being changed a little each time.<\/p>\n

I am Mrs Mary Susan Derrick, I am a US citizen, 48 years Old. I reside here in New Braunfels Texas. My residential address is as follows. 108 Crockett Court. Apt 303, New Braunfels Texas, United States, am thinking of relocating since I am now rich. I am one of those that took part in the Compensation in Nigeria many years ago and they refused to pay me, I had paid over $50,000 while in the US, trying to get my payment all to no avail.<\/p>\n
So I decided to travel to WASHINGTON D.C with all my compensation documents, And I was directed by the ( F B I) Director to contact Agent Mr.Robert Phillip who his a representative of the ( F B I ) and a member of the COMPENSATION AWARD COMMITTEE in Nigeria.and I contacted him and he explained everything to me. He said whoever is contacting us through emails are fake.<\/p>\n
He took me to the paying bank for the claim of my Compensation payment. Right now I am the most happiest woman on earth because I have received my compensation funds of $15,Million Us Dollars Moreover, Mr.Robert Phillip, showed me the full information of those that are yet to receive their payments, and I saw your name as one of the beneficiaries, and your email address, that is why I decided to email you to stop dealing with those people, they are not with your fund, they are only making money out of you. I will advise you to contact Mr.Robert Phillip<\/p>\n
You have to contact him directly on this information below.<\/p>\n
COMPENSATION AWARD HOUSE
\nName : Mr.Robert Phillip
\nEmail : Robert.phillip@consultant.com<\/p>\nYou really have to stop dealing with those people that are contacting you and telling you that your funds is with them, it is not in anyway with them, they are only taking advantage of you and they will dry you up until you have nothing.<\/p>\n
The only money I paid after I met Mr.Robert Phillip was just $400 for the paper works, take note of that.<\/p>\n
Once again stop contacting those people, I will advise you to contact Mr.Robert Phillip so that he can help you to Deliver your fund instead of dealing with those liars that will be turning you around asking for different kind of money to complete your transaction.<\/p>\n
Thank You and Be Blessed.<\/p>\n
