WATCH OUT, IT’S A SCAMSLet’s face it. The full name sound like a’ kay lei fei’. What’s more, the person concerned staying in a developing country. Any easy prey, eh?.
Two moons ago, out of the blue, I have received in my inbox, a message stating that I have been selected a winner vie my unique e mail address.. The prize?...well , a USD 600,000.00 bonanza
I am asked to fill up my full name, address and contact no. that’s nothing more, nothing less.
Being in a good mood that day, I gamely wrote in - Full name, real contact no. and a dummy address.
A week later, I received a call from one foreign speaking gentleman requesting my confirmed status.
Two weeks later, I received the following email (attached) informing of the dispatch of a certain courier (shipment details) bringing in - a so called diplomat cases containing some USD600, 000.00. Sound good so far??
The catch is, I have to put up front a sum of USD 800 – USD2, 200 on the handling charges

Dear Sir / Mdm
Thank you for the clarifications vie our telephone conversation.
First, you must excuse me for being paranoid as this 'sudden windfall' is too good to be true. Most of the scam works in the same 'modus operation' as this transaction. It is too familiar not to ignore it
Most scams will ask the ''victim' to pay (some fees) up front and later discovered that he / she would received a dummy package. After all its a con job.
In this present scenario, I shall greatly pay all fees - given that your organisation could let me gain access to this (partial/deposit) fund by e-wire these monies to my account.
Secondly, your so-call 'diplomatic luggage is still a mystery. How do I know its authentic consignments as what is should be and NOT some illegal merchandise
Prove me wrong that this is NOT a scam! and I will retract all words said above..
Regards
Part 2 coming.......
