"Mr. Richard Berner Compensation Fund"

The fake "Mr. Richard Berner Compensation Fund" email below is just another scam being sent to potential victims by online scammers. The scam tricks potential victims into believing they will receive compensation from a so-called Mr. Richard Berner. But, if the potential victims respond to the email, they will be instructed to send money, which the scammers or thieves will take and disappear without sending the compensation fund that they have promised the potential victims.

The "Mr. Richard Berner Compensation Fund" Scam

From: Lucia Dilworth - lucidworth@yahoo.com

Sent: Monday, 16 July 2018 8:58 PM

To: Recipients

Subject: Your Compensation Fund

I am Mrs. Lucia Dilworth, 58 years Old and US citizen. I reside here in New Braunfels Texas. My residential address is 108 Crockett Court, New Braunfels Texas, United States, and I am considering relocating since I am now rich. I am one of the beneficiaries of a compensation program for scam victims by US Department of the Treasury but was not paid after paying over $29,000 alone just for the payment process. I have been trying to get my compensation payment all to no avail and they always stopped my fund with no reason.

So I decided to travel to WASHINGTON, D.C with all my compensation documents. I was directed by the (FBI) Director to contact Mr. Richard Berner, who is the director of The Office of Financial Research (OFR) and a member of the COMPENSATION AWARD COMMITTEE. I contacted him and he explained everything to me, including the procedure for the claim of my compensation payment. Right now I am the most happiest woman on earth because I have received my compensation money the sum of US$550,000.00 only. Moreover, he showed me a list of those that are yet to receive their payments and I saw your name as one of the beneficiaries with your email address, which is why I decided to email you immediately to contact Mr. Richard Berner at once!

The Office of Financial Research (OFR)

Name: Mr. Richard Berner

Email: richard.berner1@workmail.com

Note: I'm sending you this email because your name and email address was the only thing I could remember when I checked the list and I feel very sorry for all those innocent people that are being scammed day by day by various scam artist claiming to be with their fund, You really have to stop dealing with those people that are contacting you for your own good. The only money I paid after I met Mr. Richard Berner was only $525 for Notarization, please take note of that.

Thank You and Be Blessed.

Mrs. Lucia Dilworth

108 Crockett Court.
