Larry James: moved the funds to Paraguay with the help of another person

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.

Greetings,

How are doing?

I wish to inform you that i have been able to moved the funds to Paraguay with the help of another person, i got a help from another man and was able to move the consignment to Paraguay where i am presently trying to invest my own share of the funds

i have left a bank a check of US$800.000.00 (Eight hundred thousand United States Dollars) for you but i handed it over to Jeremy Mara,the Chief Executive Officer of DHL & Courier Company Istanbul TURKEY and directed him to give you the check You should contact him through his private email: jeremymara65@gmail.com and he will hand over the check to you

Again, you are not to pay for the delivery Charge, the Insurance premium and the Clearance Certificate Fee of the Cheque showing that it is not a Drug Money or meant to sponsor Terrorist attack in your Country because I have already paid for them, the only money you are expected to pay is 95 euro only for the security keeping fee of the cheque so far i would have paid the fee but the company insisted that I should not because they don't know when you will be contacting them and to avoid domurrage or further cost.

You are to reconfirm the below information to them to avoid any mistake on the Delivery.

Postal address;
Full Names:
Direct telephone number;

i will be out the internet for sometime but write me to let me know, and when you have receive the check, take it to your bank to cash your own money and you write me so that we can rejoice together

yours friend

Mr.Larry James
