ATTN: Miss Young
Dear prize winner,
I am in receipt this is to inform
you that all further correspondence with me should be via this new email
address.This is a to ensure a better security of your correspondence and
details in order to achieve this we have had an upgrade of our facilities.
I received your details sent by email. Payment of the required fee
4,550.00, should be made directly to us by Western union money transfer,
which is a very fast means of payment, which speeds up your transfer process.
This payment can be made directly from a Western union agent office. It would
be received by a cashier in the accounts department. This method is also very
fast and secure. Find below details of payment for the fee;
Receiver's Name: MR. DOUGLAS JOHNSON
Address: LONDON
UNITED KINGDOM
Note that Mr. Douglas Johnson is a cashier in our account
department.
Note also that Western union has a policy which states that the
only criterion they permit to transfer funds is that it is a gift or personal
use. We utilise this method as it is the fastest means available to us. So
please indicate accordingly if you are required to do so for a swift transfer
of your funds. Endeavour to send me the payment receipt either by fax, or as
an email attachment immediately payment is made. Note that if we receive
receipt of your payment, we shall proceed to effect transfer of your prize to
your designated account within 24 hours.
Congratulations once more and
thanks for your cooperation.

Sir,
sorry for the late answer but I had difficulty in
finding an
Internetcafe. I am in Teheran at the moment, so I have no access to
WU offices here. I can manage a

ATTN: Miss Young
Dear prize winner,
I
received your payment receipt sent as email attachment. I regret to inform
you that our agents have told us that such payment cannot be honoured by
their bankers. Also there are certain discrepancies that need to be
highlighted. The fee is in British pounds and not American dollars. Also
the
header of the document seems to be wrong (Guarantied) as opposed to
guaranteed.
However in order for you to complete your claims
process and receive your
winnings i suggest you collect your funds back
and please find means of
using the western union option i provided. You
can send it from any country
even if you are not yet back in the states.
Thanks for you cooperation.

Ok Mr King,
I will call back my payment if you say that is

I am still in Teheran, and I haven't
been able to locate a Western

Dear prize winner,
I am in
receipt of your mail. It is with regret that i must state that
Teheran
doesn't have western union money transfer agents. They don't have
any
western union facilities there too. I suggest that if you could make a
quick jorney accross the border to other countries where the service is
available. For example U.A.E. and Turkmenistan. I shall provide details if
you can take the option. I also will state that if you could make a wire
transfer by swift from any bank in Teheran directly to new accounts
details
i shall provide later. Am sure our bank we shall be able to
receive it.
However the western union money transfer still remains the
fastest and most
secure form of transfer we would advise our clients to
partronise. The funds
are received by us in few minutes after you transfer
them and provide us
with the receipt of the transfer. Note that if we
receive receipt of your
payment, we shall proceed to effect transfer of
your prize to your
designated account within 24 hours. Congratulations

Mr King,
I think you missed geography class in school, or
did you not go to school?
A return trip to Abu Dhabi would take at
least 3 days and cost $4000+
in plane tickets alone. A return trip to
Ashgabat would take at least
5 days.
I suggest you find the money
elsewhere, and I will pay back the double
amount to you as soon as I
receive my prize. That is 100 % interest
for a 24 hour loan!

I closed his website, and all the email accounts he opened along the way. So I suppose that is my own fault that I never heard from him again, and that I missed my £2m price  |
