Dear Beneficiary,

I am Mr. Geoffrey W.S. Okamoto I was appointed First as Deputy
Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund on March 12, 2020
and I assumed this position on March 19, 2020.. How are you doing
today? including the members of your family? I hope fine.

I am so delighted to inform you that we have retrieved your
consignment box Worth ($5.5Million USD) from the customs services by
the help of United Nation special tasks force agency.

My problem is that I hate to see people being cheated for no reason.
We discovered that Mr.kTroy Miller, Acting Commissioner and Mr.Robert
Perez, Deputy Commissioner with some of the Banks Executives are using
your money to trade at the International Market buying stocks and
making interest while delaying the diplomatic agent to complete the
delivery of your funds.

These officials use delay tactics to hold on to your payment while
they make money. they will tell you that your consignment box will be
delivered today and when that time comes, they will come up with
another excuse that your package was stopped.

All they will keep doing will be to delay the diplomatic agent while
they make more profit with your payment. So We have retrieved your
consignment box from them. However. we have assigned UN's Diplomatic
agent to deliver the consignment to you. The only money it will cost
you $150 consignment Waver's License from the airport to your home
address. Furthermore, you are advised to reconfirm below information
as your current and direct contact to avoid wrongful delivery.

i. Identification Name:
ii. Current home address:
iii. Direct phone Number(s):
iv. Scan Copy of Your Identification

So you should therefore try as much as you can to make it up and send
the $150 today or tomorrow to enable you receive your
consignment box. We are waiting for you with the $150 payment, You can
send the payment through gift card of bitcoin because this is the only
thing holding your Consignment Box Here with Us. Every documentation
proof for your funds have been packaged and sealed to be delivered
together with your Consignment Box to your address.

Best regards
IMF names Mr. Geoffrey W.S. Okamoto as First Deputy Managing Director - BBC News
Mr. Geoffrey W.S. Okamoto .
Current Deputy Managing Director International Monetary Fund
Private email: g_okamoto@yahoo.com or kutesa_sam99@yahoo.com
Tel: 00 1-‪970 737 4720‬. Enquiry line.
The email was sent from the email address "Geoffrey W.S. Okamoto <ironfist623@gmail.com>", with the Reply-to address "g_okamoto@yahoo.com" and the subject "YOUR ABANDONED CONSIGNMENT IS READY FOR DELIVERY TO YOUR ADDRESS .".

The email is a classic example of an Advance Fee Fraud Scam with promises of a large sum of money being transferred to the victim. 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.
