CEO FIDELIS INVESTMENT

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'm happy to inform you about my success in getting those funds
transferred under the co-operation of a new partner from Portugal.
Presently I'm in Portugal for investment projects with my own share
of the total sum.

It may interest you to note that I didn't forget your past efforts
and attempts to assist me in transferring the funds though you were
not able to see it through for whatever reasons. After due
consideration, I have decided to compensate you for your efforts.

I have issued a check of $1,200,000 for you and had to drop it with
Swift Express Services in Nigeria and you are to contact them with
the following information as stated below for re-affirmation and
to ensure a safe delivery.

Full Name: ...........................
Address: .............................
Phone Number: ........................

Note that the shipment fee and the insurance of the check as been
paid by me and the only fee you will be required to pay is $230
being the security charges for duration the check has been in their
possession. I would have made the payment but I do not know when
you will get in touch with them as the charges increases with the
amount of days they secure it. Endeavour you contact them immediately
before the security charge increases with days.

You are to contact them through the information as stated below
and note that the only fee you are to pay is the Security Charges
as every other stable fees has been paid.

they will ensure you get the check.

Thanks once again for all you effort during the course of the
