Hi Ladyg, that is an ATM scam, please post the full initial email that you received, along with the senders email address.

What you need to ask yourself is this, why would someone from a bank in Nigeria send you an unsolicited email, saying they are giving you an ATM card, which they usually say is loaded with money from an inheritance or a contract, that just doesn't happen in real life, the only time it does happen is when scammers send the emails.

I am also a moderator on the Central Bank of Nigeria's advance fee fraud forum, see my reply to another potential victim of a CBN ATM card scam here:

http://www.cenbank.org/forum/topic.asp?id=466

Alternatively, if that link isn't working due to some technical problems with the CBN forum, use this link:

http://66.40.18.146/forum/topic.asp?id=466

For reference, I will quote my CBN post here, and please view the first link in my post:

Hi Narendra, thanks for posting, the ATM card scam is very common.

The emails you are receiving are NOT from the CBN, they are from a scammer, please note that they email you from free Yahoo or Gmail email addresses, the staff of the CBN do not contact anyone via free email providors, nor do they send unsolicited emails concerning ATM cards payments for alleged contract payments or inheritances, the CBN does not deal with contract payments or inheritances, that's just something that scammers say in their scam email formats

All the scammers want are for victims to pay the activation fees and courier fees to get the ATM card sent to them, of course, the ATM card does not exist, neither does the money, see my first post on this topic on our forum concerning another ATM scam:

www.cenbank.org/forum/topic.asp?id=396

The phone number given in the email, is a Nigerian mobile (cell) phone number, banks do not use mobile phones for business, only scammers do that so that they can remain anonymous by using unregistered sim cards in the phones.

Also, if you Google the scammers email address, you get these results for scams using that address in thr google results, see here:

Same again if you Google the Gmail address, see here:

Dear scam patroller
The full name received is Rev Mark Godwill. His e-mail address is [email protected]. He claims he works for the REDSTAR COURIER SERVICES IN Lagos Nigeria. They will be used to send the ATM card to me. The card has 1.2 Million dollars on it.

I would be happy if you give me some more feedback.

Thanks

Hi Ladyg, I'm not sure what other feedback you need, other than it's a 100% ATM card scam.

As per my request above, please post the full email that you received from the scammers, including the email addresses of all parties that you are in contact with.

You sound as though you want to believe that the $1.2 million dollars could possibly be real, sorry, but it's not, it doesn't exist, neither does the ATM card, and neither does Rev Mark Goodwill. What are they saying the £1.2 million is form, an inheritance, contract fund, lottery?

These ATM card scams done in the name of the CBN are very common, all the scammers want are for victims to pay the activation fees for the cards and the courier fees to get the ATM card sent to them, of course, the ATM card does not exist, neither does the money, that's just their way of getting advance fees from victims, hence why it is called advance fee fraud!

The CBN does not issue ATM cards to people, the CBN does not hold monies from inheritances, lottery wins or contract payments, these are just things that scamemrs tell victims in their scam emails.

Here are some example of ATM scam emails where the CBN is supposedly issuing ATM cards to people:

Hi there Ladyg,

Scam Patroller is correct. This is a scam, and a very common one at that.

They usually start out by saying that your ATM card is waiting for you. The fact that you haven't applied for one is beside the point. If you question that, they tell you there is an inheritance, or a lottery win, and the easiest way to get the money to you is by ATM card.

This is a load of rubbish. I am sure you had doubts about this offer otherwise you would not have visited us and asked.

All that will happen if you continue with this deal, is they will ask you to pay various fees. You may even be told that the card is on its way, but then the courier will get stopped at customs and you will be asked to send another fee to have him and your card released. They will carry on until you run out of money, and they will suggest you take out a loan and you may even get an email loan offer from another email address. Again there will be fees involved.

Please go with your instinct that this is a dodgy deal and cease contact with them.

Remember the saying "IF IT IS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, THEN IT PROBABLY IS".

by SlayerFaith Sun May 04, 2008 2:57 pm
Chiming in. This is 100% advanced fee fraud. There is NO ATM card, and the only money that will be involved is whatever the scammers can convince you to send them. You have been contacted by criminals trying to steal your money.

RE: NOTIFICATION ABOUT YOUR ATM CARD.
Dear Sir,

This is to inform you that after trapping your payment from Mr. Chang and Co whop connived with Dr Ernest Ebi, Tunde Lemo to divert your funds. I have for safe reasons deposited the Funds with United Bank for Africa Nigeria here in an account which they have also activated your ATM card for delivery to your Doorstep.

Your UBA account Number where your ATM card will be drawing Credit from is A/C=9091 0875 0097 5434. After successfully securing the funds in this bank account and have the ATM Card issued by the Bank I went and deposited the ATM to DHL Office in Lagos on friday lastweek. You will see the attached Deposit Certificate which you will use to contact them for claims.

What you have to do now is to contact the D.H.L COURIER SERVICE as soon as possible to know when they will deliver your package to you because of the expiring date. For your information, I have paid for the delivering Charge, Insurance premium and Clearance Certificate Fee of the ATM CARD showing that it is not a Drug Money or meant to sponsor Terrorist attack in your Country.

The only money you will send to the D.H.L COURIER SERVICE to deliver your ATM CARD direct to your postal Address in your country is ($220 US) Dollars only being Security Keeping Fee of the Courier Company so far. Again, don't be deceived by anybody to pay any other money except $220.US Dollars.

I would have paid that but they said no because they don't know when you will contact them and in case of demurrage.You have to contact the D.H.L COURIER SERVICE now for the delivery of your ATM CARD with this information bellow;
Contact Person: Mr.Tony Eze
Email:[email protected],[email protected]
Tel:234-7031893295

Finally, make sure that you reconfirm your Postal address and Direct telephone number to them again to avoid any mistake on the Delivery and ask them to give you the tracking number to enable you track your ATM CARD over there and know when it will get to your address.

Let me repeat again, try to contact them as soon as you receive this mail to avoid any further delay and remember to pay them their Security Keeping fee of $220. US Dollars for their immediate action. You should also let me know through email as soon as you receive your ATM CARD.

Yours Truly,

Mr. Isa Yaro,
Foreign Operation,

I could post 50 more just like these, many with very pretty fake certificates attached. Please note that the email account I'm using is a spam trap. The name and details on it are completely fake. How does a person who doesn't exist get millions of dollars in an unsolicited email? It doesn't make any sense.

I think that, deep down, you know this is a scam.

Hi Lady,

As the others have said it is definately a scam, thanks for posting the email from the scammer, if possible posting all of the emails you recieved without your own details will help to warn others as well as help us to find more information on this person.

You will notice that a person, reportedly from the bank has a yahoo email address and wants you to send money in a most unusual way for a bank.

100% scam, your best course of action would be to stop all communication.

We are here if you have any questions and encourage you to ask if you are not sure.

I hope you have not sent any money, if not, good, dont send any, you will no doubtedly lose any money you do send

Secretary instruction to send your Debit Card/ATM which contains the sum of
$850.000.00 (Eight Hundred and Fifty Thousand US Dollars) on your name which I
have used as a compensation for your past effort.

Now contact my secretary her contact is:
Mrs. Jennifer Jarik
Email: [email protected]

Ask her to send you the total $850.000.00 Debit Card/ATM (Eight Hundred and
Fifty Thousand US Dollars) which I kept for your compensation for all the past
efforts and attempts to assist me in this matter. I appreciated your efforts at
that time very much.

So feel free and get in touched with my secretary Mrs. Jennifer Jarik and
instruct her where to send the Debit Card/ATM to you. Please do let me know
immediately you receive it so that we can share the joy after all the suffering
at that time. In the moment, I am very busy here because of the investment
projects which I and my new partner are having at hand.

Finally, remember that I had forwarded instruction to my secretary on your
behalf to receive that Debit Card/ATM containing $850.000.00, so feel free to
get in touch with Mrs. Jennifer Jarik and she will send the Debit Card/ATM to
you without any delay.

Best Regards.
Mr. William Peters.
