Cartas de compensación.

Un estafador con frecuencia falla en hacer que su víctima le pague su dinero. La víctima será tentada con fuerza por los millones prometidos, y tal vez pague unos cuantos honorarios, pero abandona porque empezó a dudar, o no tuvo el dinero requerido. En esta situación, el estafador mientras tanto esperará, y luego enviará una “carta de compensación”. Él te dirá que lo siente pero que el trato anterior no podrá ser completado, pero que el tiene controlado hacerlo con otro socio. Como una compensación por todo el trabajo que la víctima hizo, él le ofrecerá una gran recompensa.

Esta historia es también toda mentira, y es sólo el comienzo de una nueva estafa. El dinero ofrecido como compensación no existe y los estafadores usarán el mismo truco para obtener de sus víctimas el pago de un honorario después de otro.

Si recibes una carta de este tipo, simplemente ignórala.

This looks very impressive, but the letter was NOT sent from ECOBANK, and the documents are fake. After contacting the real ECOBANK, they gave the following answer:

From: "ECOBANK GROUP" <ecobank @ ecobank.com>
Subject: RE: Ecobank Contact Form
Date: Tue, 22 May 2007

Dear Sir / Madam

We have been receiving a number of mails from people who claim that they have been contacted by certain unscrupulous people posing as Ecobank staff .These unscrupulous people promise their intended victims financial rewards for allowing their accounts to be used for remittances from Ecobank accounts purportedly held by deceased third parties, or from looted public funds or proceeds from lottery.

These victims are promised a percentage of the funds purportedly held in fictitious accounts of the Ecobank Group and are requested to pay certain preliminary fee or charge for processing the transaction. As soon as these preliminary fees are paid, the fraudsters discontinue any correspondence with their victims.

Take notice that these unscrupulous people are neither members of staff nor agents of the Ecobank Group. They are fraudsters who belong to syndicates all over the world.

Ecobank Group and the members of its staff do not transfer to third parties monies belonging to its customers without the prior instruction of the said customers.

The authentic website of Ecobank is www.ecobank.com and all email addresses of staff of Ecobank are hosted on ecobank.com. Any email address from a purported staff of Ecobank that is not in the above format is not a genuine address.

Recipients of such mails are advised to carefully check their facts before making payments to unknown third parties.

Consequently, no member or staff of the Ecobank Group shall be held responsible for payments made by fraudsters posing as members of the Ecobank Group.

We hope this information is useful to you.

This is a compensation payment of $5,000,000 they promised to send me, but first they asked me to send a fee for "legal procession in the court". Note that it was signed by the (former!) president Obasanjo.
