Telephone number +2347083314703 is being used as part of an Advance Fee Fraud Scam by someone claiming to be "John Musa" and using the email address paymentapprovdcompensation@gmail.com. The telephone number in included in the following Advance Fee Fraud email that is being sent to victims:
It has come to our notice that you are no longer willing to receive
your payment of $1,500,000 (One Million Five Hundred Thousand United
State Dollars)

With the content of your last email, we have understood very well that
you are no more serious in receiving your compensation payment of
$10,500,000 (Ten Million Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars).


You are advised to notify us if you are still willing to receive your
payment or not. If yes, then get back to us request for the payment
details for you to send the required fee needed immediately and if
no,then notify us via email so that we can inform the Executive Board
Of Directors and The Officials that you are no longer willing to
receive your compensation payment approval
file.

Treat as urgent and keep me posted immediately. Upon the receipt of
this email kindly call me for more information on how you will receive
your fund. +2347083314703

Mr John Musa
The email was sent from the email address "COMPENSATION PAYMENT APPROVED <infocenbank4@gmail.com>", with the Reply-to address "paymentapprovdcompensation@gmail.com" and the subject "URGENT NOTICE NEEDED IMMEDIATELY".

The email raises a number of red flags that indicate that this is a scam. Firstly, the email has been sent from a totally different address to the one that you are asked to reply to. Scammers do this because they expect that the email address that is used to send out the hundreds of copies of this mail could well be shut down and they want to be able to receive replies. Secondly, the email was sent to multiple recipients using BCC. Finally, companies do not randomly write to people advising them that they are entitled to large sums of money. This is a classic example of an Advance Fee Fraud Scam and anyone responding to it will be told that there is a fee/tax/insurance payment to be paid to receive the money. This will be followed by payment after payment until the victim runs out of money or realises that they are being scammed.

In addition to the above red flags, the fact that telephone number +2347083314703 is a mobile phone is another major indication that this is a scam. Banks and large companies do not use mobile phones as a means of contact, they have proper landline phone numbers.
