Has someone offered you a huge sum of money or a valuable consignment? It's a 419 or advance fee fraud - find out how they work, and what to do to be safe.

This scammer hopes to target people who have already been in contact with other scammers. He knows that you will not recognise his name, so he is pretending that it was his 'boss' who you were dealing with, and whom left a draft cheque (now converted to cash) for you.

The email address of the Security Company is fake: it is a scammer's email address - either used by the very same scammer as the writer of this email, or one of his scamming associates.

There is no money for you. There will be invented fees to be paid, but you will receive nothing in return. It is all a lie and a scam.

subject Positive development about your DRAFT CHECK

Attention:

Good day, how are you today? I write to inform you that I received your earlier emails. Although i expected to hear from you since my boss travelled to Japan for investment projects and left a Draft Check of $1,000,000.00 for me to forward to you as soon as you contact me for it.

However considering the fact that the draft Check is about to expire and Mr.Ahmed Zafa the Director of the issuing Bank told me that before the draft will get to your hand that it will expire. So I told him to assist and convert the USD $1,000,000.00 UNITED STATES DOLLARS draft cheque into cash payment to avoid losing this funds. I spent only $3,000 for conversion of the check, so the total amount left after conversion is $997,000.00.

Hence the arrangement with DEVCON SECURITY COMPANY BENIN to deliver the USD$997,000.00 UNITED STATES DOLLARS in cash was made, although the content of the box was not made known to them because Security companies do not carry money.
Mr. Ahmed Zafa the Director of the Bank has packaged the sum of $997,000.00 USD UNITED STATES DOLLARS in cash for you. He also agreed to help you register the Consignment with DEVCON SECURITY COMPANY. In fact I thank God very much for all the movement I made, everything goes normally.

As for our agreement with the DEVCON SECURITY COMPANY they promised that your consignment will leave by next week, but the Director of the DEVCON SECURITY COMPANY said that they need your delivery address to enable them meet up with you immediately the Diplomat Agent arrived to your Country. Please contact DEVCON SECURITY COMPANY BENIN below.

Please make sure you send this needed information to the Manager of DEVCON SECURITY COMPANY Mr. Daniel Bobs, with the address given to you above.

NOTE:

This is to avoid them tampering with the BOX. Do not let them know that money is in that Box.

I am waiting for your urgent response.
