This is a simple scam trying to lead you to believe there is a fortune available for you – if you just follow the instructions.

But, this scammer weaves a pointlessly complicated story and uses strange phrasing.

“This is to intimate you of a very important information which will be of a great help to redeem you from all the difficulties you have been experiencing in getting your long over due payment.”

The sender claims to be a high official at the International Monetary Fund, but oddly can only use a Gmail personal email account.

She claims that a long list of organisations (NGOs, Banks, security companies, courier companies etc.) have been taking advantage of me by demanding various payments to release the $10.7 million that I am due.

There’s no reason provided as to why the IMF owes me such a lot of money, but then she doesn’t even know my name.

She says she has stopped all of those organisations from pestering me anymore (not that any of them ever have).

She is now in charge of ensuring I receive the millions of dollars and to prove her emails are genuine she will include the secret code (code:1207) in any future emails.

I guess that guarantees she is legitimate. NOT!

She also lists lots of names of people who have supposedly cheated me as they are corrupt and evil according to her.

Then a long story about someone named Donna Hewberling who visited the IMF and claimed I was dead and had given her power of attorney to collect my money.

Then more secret codes e.g.

“The Payment, United Nation Approval No; UN5685P, White House Approved No: H44CV, Reference No.-35460021, Allocation No: 674632 Password No: 339331, Pin Code No: 55674 and your Certificate of Merit Payment No: 103, Released Code No: 0763; Immediate (IMF) Telex confirmation No: -1114433; Secret Code No: XXTN013.”

And so it goes on for pages.

Seems that the scammer got carried away with her own words.

Pathetic.
