    RE:  $10 Million, ATM Master Card Payment

    Dear Fund Beneficiary,

    email-scam
    This is the 3rd time I am sending you this notification letter regarding to your abandoned ATM Master Card valued sum of US$10 Million and I have not received any positive respond from you or making a suggestion on how you wish to receive your ATM Card. Once again; I am Mr. Carlos Roberto, the new director ATM Head of Operation Bank Of Africa, I resumed to this office on the 15th of December 2015 and during my official research I discovered an abandoned ATM Master card valued sum of $10 Million belonging to you as the rightfully intimate beneficiary.

    I tried to know why this card has not been released to you but I was told by the Union management that the ATM CARD was sent From Nigeria to here in Kenya because the director ATM head of operation officers in Nigeria hold your card for his own personal use without knowing that his evil plans towards diverting your fund will be discovered.

    Now that your ATM Master card is in Kenya and ready for your receiving, therefore you can come down here to our bank to pick up your card direct from my office or alternatively it can be arranged ship to your address through any registered reliable courier service company that you will take care of the courier charge, hope it is cleared and accepted by you?

    I don’t know the courier cost of shipping the card to you but if you permit me and accept the terms, then I can make an inquiry from the courier shipping company to find out the cost, but in that case you will be required to forward to me your address where you want to receive the card to enable me find out the shipping cost to your location.

    Your direct telephone number and address will be needed and more details of your ATM card payment will be made known to you as soon as I receive your swift positive response.

    Do not hesitate to call me on +254-712-371-370 as soon as you read this mail.

    Thanks for your co-operation and i wait for your kind positive respond.

    Yours Faithfully,

    Mr. Carlos Roberto

  • Reporting internet fraud- virus

    Me and my husband were browsing through websites on flippa. We were planning to buy a cooking site as a new website but did not want to  build all the information from scatch. As we were browsing, we found a cooking site for sale that is under bidding. We contacted the seller and ask for how much is the final price he is asking for his website.  It sounded like a great deal for us and we were interested in buying.reporting-internet-fraud However, the website or hosting service had a pop up that looked like malware.  The popup would not allow you to get out of the website without shutting down the browser.  We told the seller about this malicious popup. He insisted that it was the hosting service. We tried to go there many times to scan the articles if any of it is original. Not that there is no unique content and all copied, but  everytime we attempted of browsing the website the pop up and at one point we had to restart the computer. Needless to say we did not buy the website.
