Miss Young

Hello, I am Miss Young. A scammer often fails in making his victim pay him money. But he does not give up if he thinks it is still possible to convince the victim. He could try a new scam with hidden millions or a big lottery winning. Another approach is a compensation letter where he promises the victim a big sum as compensation. The compensation money does not exist, - it is simply the start of a new scam. The letter below is an example of such a letter.

I have made a deposit of $500.000.00 (FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND US DOLLARS)in addition to your lottery winnings of $5.5m now amounting to $6,000,000.00(Six million United States Dollars) I have authorized the finance house to issue out to you your international certified bank draft cashable at your bank and any bank of your choice find below his contact information.
NAME: MR GEORGE MARCUS
E-MAIL: georgemarcus@56788.com
Ask him to send you the total $6,000,000.00 (SIX MILLION US DOLLARS)certified bank draft Cheque, which I raised in your favour for your compensation for all the past efforts and attempt in this matter.I really appreciated your efforts at that time very much.
Secondly,you are hereby advised to stop dealing with some non-officials in the bank as this is an illegal act and will have to stop if you so wish to receive your payment immediately.After the board meeting held at our headquarters,we have resolved in finding a solution to your last un cliamed problem.
So feel free and get in touch with him (MR GEORGE MARCUS) and give him your address where to send the draft to you or rather inform him about a- telegraphic wire transfer if you like. Please do let me know immediately you receive the Cheque to enable us share the joy after all the sufferness at that time.
