Please see the attached fraud for E 100 K
All of the information was correct and was generated from my friend who wanted to buy BG from RPP Development Ltd.
Whilst we DON'T KNOW they supplied the scammer's the data it's unlikely to have come from anyone else
My friend tried to buy the BG at and paid a fee of E 16 K for a E 50 M BG
Tip Don't expect to get a BG for a pittance, normal BANK prices start at 11% + $ 150 K bank charges
This was confirmed by HMRC as a scam (by email)
Best regards

Subject: Payment Stop Order
Sir/Madam,
In view of the above subject matter “Payment Stop Order” placed on your instrument being which

of (USD 50,000,000.00) FIFTY MILLION USD which was transacted into XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
account/IBAN: DEXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX, of related reference #XXXXXXXX/XXXXXX
a race SWIFT code No:XXX/XXXXXXX=XXXXX as quoted in the bank account number which the
instrument was transferred into.
This department writes to inform you officially that following the protest from the Her Majesty's Revenue
and Customs commonly referred to as British Tax Office; the following decision was taken against the
authorization of the release of your instrument under transfer due to your inability to settle your Tax
Charges amounting to 0.2% of USD 50,000,000.00 of your total face value of BG/SBLC which was
estimated to EURO 100.000.00 (one hundred thousand euro). This sum is calculated in the
Government approved Forex Ratio in line with the Exchange Control Act 1996 of section 18B,
of the Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs ACT.
This Department was unable to deduct any amount from your total fund as a result of insurance policy
instituted. This outstanding sum prompted the Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs to protest against the
release of the SWIFT to your nominated bank account XXXXXXXXXXX XXXXX.
On this development you are directed to contact the management of UK company XXXXX XXXX for
further advice and information on how to settle the Revenue charges without further delay, as we have
instructed HSBC bank NOT to transfer or further any advice to you for the purpose of this payment until we

Furthermore we have informed the IMF of this transfer and your details been submitted to them,
therefore you are given only 5 days to make this payment, before the international transfer key code
elapse AND bear in mind the immediate release of the MT760 shall be made into your account upon
receiving the tax payment..
