Someone forwarded a spammer's email to Spamnesty, which replied to the email, pretending to be a person called Jennifer Stone and starting a conversation.
This is that conversation.
Attn: Beneficiary
I wish to inform you were among the scam victims listed to be released
their overdue funds by the UNITED NATIONS in conjunction with the
International Monetary Fund (IMF) after the last encounter we held
concerning your funds. As directed by UN secretary General Ban Ki-Moon in
collaborations with the IRS, I wish to state categorically that a transfer
of $10,500,000.00 will be made to your bank account as almost 99% cost
associated with the transfer of your funds has been prepaid by the U.S.
Government. The only fee you will pay is the cost of processing a "Fund
Clearance Certificate" by the paying bank. The "Fund Clearance Certificate"
is required in accordance with the U.S. Monetary Transfer or deposit Policy
and it is the only fee you will have to pay before your funds can be
transferred to your account. After you have paid for the above mentioned
certificate, the paying bank will process it and send a copy of it to you
for your perusal.
Note once again that your overdue payment will be credited into your
account you will furnish with the Bank without any delay as approved by
United Nations, International Monetary Fund, World Bank, and United States
Government.
However, this is to inform you that we have been mandated by the United
Nations Compensation Commission (UNCC) department through the Financial
Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) of the United States Department of the
Treasury to release your overdue funds directly from the United Nations
Compensation Fund Account via Telegraphic Transfer into your designated
bank account. Note that the above sum is the payment of compensation
awarded to you for losses and trauma resulting directly from scam committed
against you in line with the Resolution 1483 (2012) adopted by the United
Nations Security Council Headquarters in New York following series of
complaints by the victims of scam.
Urgently respond with your full name, full address, copy of identification
and direct phone number so that I will furnish you with the contact
information of the paying bank. Remember, they will instruct you on how to
send the money to them as soon as you contact them.
Yours Sincerely,
Ms. Heidi Mendoza
Head Of United Nations Under-Secretary- General
For Internal Oversight Services.
Hello,
Thank you for your email! However, I don't know if this will fit in our budget. Is there anything better you could do?
