Please note that this letter came to you as a result of information received from our monitoring network regarding so many payments which you sent through Western Union and MoneyGram to Europe, USA, Asia and Africa and some other part of the World without receiving any payment to your name, further investigation reveals that you have lost hope towards receiving your payment after being deceived so many times.

Following the ongoing re-branding of WB policies, the Federal Government of USA have directed our committee to compensate/refund the sum of $11,500,000 to you through payment by ATM CARD being one of the most convenient means of receiving payment Worldwide, Bank to Bank Transfer or CASH Delivery to your Country. We wish to inform you that the members of the Refund Payment Committee are Honorable men of Great Repute and integrity who have served the Government of Nigeria in different capacities.

We also wish to inform you that the Committee members were appointed by our respected President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to pay 250 billion Dollars to the listed beneficiaries that have lost their money to the scammer and have not yet received their total sum. In order for you to receive your payment this week or next, you are advised to reply to this email with ANSWERS to the Questions below.

The email was sent from the email address "Dr Moses Ogake <hengoodman0100@gmail.com>", with the subject "URGENT RESPONSE NEEDED!".

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.
