International Monetary Fund Advance Fee Scams Being Sent by Online Scammers

The fake "International Monetary Fund" email below is a scam. Recipients are asked to delete it and should not follow the instructions in it. The fake email is being sent by scammers who are attempting to trick their potential victims into sending them money or personal information by impersonating someone else. An advance-fee scam is a form of fraud and one of the most common types of confidence trick. The scam typically involves promising the victim a significant share of a large sum of money, in return for a small up-front payment, which the fraudster requires in order to obtain the large sum.

    My fiance worked in the North Sea Oil Industry last year. The contract payment was held by an electronic bank HavinTrust, PLC, UK. which seems legitimate. We are in the process of transferring the funds to our bank in Canada.

    I got a notice from this person purporting to be with the IMF-

    Dr. Ruven Johnson from IMF Regional Office for Europe, Asia and the Pacific (Poorly written and addressed to me by my first name only)

    And he is saying the funds are on "hold" pending an "IMF Clearance Certificate"..and said funds will be confiscated should this request not be complied with.

    I have done some checking and there is no such thing as a Clearance Certificate for these funds, and no requirement for such a thing.

    I have notified our bank here that the funds are coming and are substantial. We are buying house.

    I have not asked Dr Ruven Johnson how we get a Clearance Certificate as requested, but don't doubt there will be money requested and personal information as well. Any advice would be welcome!

    Benin Republic and Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

    It was brought to our notice that the former Ambassador to the republic of

    Benin, Ambassador James Knight, made voluntary effort to bring your funds along

    to your home address but couldn't due to some fall-out on your ends. The

    Federal Reserve Bank of New York came up to make a wire transfer but they said

    you couldn't meet up with the fee demand for the transfer, so they gave up on

    you. In a more proper and legalized manner, the International Monetary Fund and

    the Federal Reserve Bank solicited us Fund Reconciliation Department to allow

    your fund to be written as a Check or Credited as Visa Card and be shipped to

    your home address through the USA Priority Express Mail. These options, we

    supposed could be the best, easiest and the most efficient way to have you get

    hold of your long Awaited United Nations approved funds. Like you were told by

    the Federal Reserve Bank aforementioned, your funds was transferred from about

    four different banks; Central Bank of Nigeria, United Bank for Africa Benin

    Republic, Bank of America and Nat west bank London. In total, your funds were

    amounting to the tune of USD9.8 Million United State Dollars As we speak, your

    funds have been credited in your Visa Card and also available as Cashier's

    Check well documented and packaged. The documented package will be shipped to

    your mailing address by the USA Priority Express Mail here in NY, USA. The ONLY

    thing needed before we can POST your ATM CARD or CHECK is the PROCUREMENT FILE

    of your funds. The procurement file is at the Origin Country of your funds in

    West Africa Cotonou Benin Republic.

    For the purpose to avoiding double payment on your end, we had an agreement

    with the IMF and Federal Reserve to document every charge necessary until the

    package gets to your home address. The analytical group of the two offices

    mentioned above had an accurate sum of USD 325.00 for Procurement. So it was

    constituted and officially submitted to the "Court of Justice" that the ONLY

    charge you will EVER pay before your package leaves our office here in USA to

    your home address is USD 325.00 for your Procurement File to be signed and

    conveyed down here in the USA and YOU WILL NEVER pay a dime again as agreed. We

    are renowned and reputable USA Agency and we don't like an undocumented process

    that is why it had to be written down in Court that you will never pay any

    other money apart from the US$325.00 The USD 325.00 is for "PROCUREMENT FEE"

    (That is for someone to sign your file on your behalf). USA Ambassador to Benin

    Republic, "Ambassador James Knight", who will be coming to the United State in

    few days will have the Power of Attorney to stand in and sign on your behalf

    (since you can't travel down to Benin Rep. because of that) so that he can sign

    and bring along with him your PROCUREMENT FILE to us here to enable us POST

    your loaded ATM CARD or WRITTEN CHECK to your mailing address via Priority

    Express Mail without any hitch.

    Therefore, the days of you being subjected to paying Double Payment, paying

    again and again is over as that is the case with some corrupt officials down

    there in Africa, whom always strife to subject beneficiaries to hard

    bureaucratic bottleneck, thereby making it impossible for most innocent

    citizens spread across the globe and the likes to claim what rightfully belongs

    to them. Be happy now that your funds are here in NEW YORK SURROGATE COURT, USA

    and so we decided to follow the USA constitutions so as to ensure that your

    money is in your hands this week.

    Without mincing words, it will be desirous if you consciously adhere to the

    above instruction by remitting the PROCUREMENT FEE calculated to be US$325.00

    down to the office of Ambassador James Knight at the USA Consulate/Embassy in

    Benin so that your ATM CARD or Check depending on your choice could be shipped

    to your home address as soon as the Ambassador arrives here with your

    procurement file. The, PROCUREMENT FEE of USD 325.00 is PAYABLE in two payment

    options:

    (1) MONEY GRAM MONEY TRANSFERS TO:

    (2) WESTERN UNION MONEY TRANSFER TO:

    We hope for your immediate positive response so that we can provide payment

    details to enable you send the US$325.00 US Dollars, once you make the payment

    to enable a speedy Shipments of your Check to your home address consider your

    self lucky.

    Kindly Still Update Us With the following:

    1. Your Name which you prefer we use when shipping your Check

    2. Your Current mailing (Delivery) Address where your Check should be mailed

    3. Your Private Mobile Number for the Priority Express Mail to Contact you when

    they arrive at your door step.

    Once again, we are sorry for the inconveniences you might have encountered in

    the past, in pursuit of your funds. Now that this office, Fund Reconciliation

    Department is involved, you will have no cause to ever regret again as soon as

    you adhere to the above given instructions.
