Telephone number +254773135461 is being used as part of an Advance Fee Fraud Scam by someone claiming to be "Charles Usman" and using the email address charlesusman760@gmail.com. The telephone number is included in the following Advance Fee Fraud email that is being sent to victims:
THE TOTAL OF FUND WE ARE GOING TRANSFER TO YOU IS $$5.8 MILLION

Information reaching us from our Western Union Corporate Headquarters now, States that you only have 48hours to effect payment for the activation of your FIVE MILLION SEVENE HUNDRED THOUSAND USD to enable you cash up your total (fund) since you are finding it difficult to make the total payment, We have decided that you are to go ahead and pay whatever you have for the activation fee since you are not able to come up with the total required FEE. Time is of the essence here. You are to pay whatever you have as activation fee; we will activate your fund upon receipt of this payment to enable you to receive your first daily $5,000:00 USD transfer from any Western Union center around you today. Be informed that you will have to pay the balance sum of your activation upon cashing up your first payment.

Also I am using this medium to inform you that failure to pay the balance sum will leave us with no option but to deactivate your fund of which you will and can never cash up your total sum again if you don`t observe western union procedure. I want you to use Western Union to send whatever you have for the activation fee with the information Below.

Receiver name::E RUFINA AKHONG'O
Receiver country::. KENYA
Receiver city:::Nairobi
Amount: YOU CAN PAY ANY AMOUNT YOU HAVE NOW.
(M.T.C.N) Money Transfer Control Number ::::::::
Sender's name ::::::::

Kindly reconfirm to me the following below information as soon as you send the fee so we can activate your first payment release:

Send us the MTCN number, Sender Address, immediately you send the money and immediately we confirm the activation fee, I will transfer you the fund immediately today

I promise you as soon as we hear from you with the payment of ANY AMOUNT YOU ARE DIRECTED to send today, we shall send your first payment of $5,000.00 for you to pick up with the information you need to receive your payment the same day you send the payment of ANY AMOUNT and I swear you will receive your payment immediately.

EMAIL ME THE MTCN NUMBER OR TEXT ME .

Charles Usman.
Head Office Operations Manager.
Western Union Office Department Texas
EMAIL ME HERE. charlesusman760@gmail.com
OR +254773135461
The email was sent from the email address "WESTERN UNION PAYMENT <linus08613@gmail.com>", with the Reply-to address "charlesusman760@gmail.com" and the subject "DEAR EMAIL ADDRESS OWNER".

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.
