They've been actually authorized to scam you with spam

It sounds like such a sure thing, doesn't it? After all, the email says that "We obtained an irrevocable payment guarantee on your Payment from the presidency," whatever that means.

In reality, this is a scam. They will attempt to get money out of you. Don't be fooled, don't reply to message like this. Simply delete them.

This message entered the mailstream from a server at telepacific.net, a carrier in Southern California, but the email addresses cited are in in Armenia. However, that doesn't mean anything; the scammers could be anywhere.

  4. I got a very similar one today, the best part was the email it was attached to which read:

    Attention: A Letter From Ban Ki-Moon, ( Secretary-General) United Nation Board
    Please see the Attached letter from United Nation Board,
    Read and Reply as soon as Possible,
    Thanks,
    Ban Ki-Moon.

    Really, this was sent to me at my work email address which is a non-profit publishing project based in a Unversity here in South Africa.

    These would not still be getting sent out if people were not responding. What is worrying is that here in Southern Africa there are lots of projects sending out funding proposals and I fear that on occasion people may respond thinking it may be a response to a legitimate propasal.

    Regards

    to me
    Dearest Brother,

    Good day my brother and how are you doing? I am wishing you a very good happy and successful day. I am very sorry for not written to you again earlier because visitors were coming inn and out of the hospital. I told you earlier that I was restricted from either making calls or answering calls. But then, I was feeling pains all over me in night yesterday which led them doctors to give me some ejections that made me dosed up for hours and they were monitoring me over and over making it not possible for me to have chance to check or write emails.

    Though, I had been disturbed by what you told me today concerning my fund you. I was not happy since morning as I have not been able to check emails, when I managed to go through my emails and saw you emails informing me that the transfer they made to your account was delayed by the united nation but there is no problem.

    Honestly, I felt disgusted as all I have labored with my late husband has lost but the bank manager told me this morning that there is no much problem over the issue. He also told me of the money that is required to get the clearance documents the united nation demanded and stated that they will assist you in getting one the documents. Though, right I have some little amount of money I gave one of the nurses to keep for me, which I have been using to but myself some medicines that the hospital do not have. I will confirm from her when how much is remaining and by the grace of God it will be good assistance in getting the document.

    I cried to an extent of attracting other patients on me but I realized it immediately and condole myself, the bankers came to hospital to have discussion with me over some fees you need to pay before they transfer the funds to you and they stated that the fees must be paid before they make any transfer, so,I told that bank to deduct the transfer fees, processing fee and duty charges before transferring the rest fund to you. They did not even told me that this kind of problem will arise otherwise, I could have told them to deduct money for it.

    Please my brother, I will not blame you over what you but you must understand is that I am glad that my fund in their bank was complete and anything or any interest is never my concern. Please, the problem now is how to get those documents and have them release the funds to you. Had I know, I could have told them to deduct the remaining interest so that this kind of problem that came up now will never disturb you.

    Please, I know that I am not suppose to ask you this base on your situation but please, do what ever you can to make sure that the United Nation releases to funds to you and I will be very glad to see this project a dream come through. No matter what it take you, at least you can use the remaining balance of interest to pay back where ever you get the money from.

    Please forgive them and focus much on the foundation project, what matters to me now is seeing the charity foundation project started before anything could happen to me and I will be glad that you settle this matter on your own leaving them for my God to judge them. Although the money for the documents are much but please try anything you can for you will never regret doing this for me.

    God bless you my good brother. Please try you best because it is only you that I hoped for this project to come through.I am very sorry for writing this long mail which I believe that I may not have a chance like this to write you.

    I will wait to read from you. God bless you..

    Yours Sister,
    Mrs. Linda Adams
