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.

Dear Friend,

A letter from Fred,i am happy to inform you about my success in getting those funds transferred under the co-operation of good family from Paraguay. Presently I'm in Paraguay for investment projects with with the family. Meanwhile, I didn't forget your past efforts and attempts to assist me in transferring those funds even though it failed us somehow.

Now contact my Church Pastor in Benin his name is Pastor daniel Victor (danielvictor44@yahoo.com) ask him to send you the total sum of $500.000.00 which I kept for your compensation for all the past efforts and attempts to assist me in the past. I appreciate your efforts at that time so feel free to get in touch with him and tell him where to send the amount to you.

Please do let me know immediately you receive it. In the moment, I’m very busy here with the investment projects which myself and good family are working on. Remember that I have forwarded instruction to him concerning this. so feel free to get in touch with him.

Regards,
Mr.Fred Anthony
