Dear Beneficiary ,

I am Diplomat Mark Collins I have been trying to reach you on your telephone about an hour now just to inform you about my successful arrival in Taxes at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport with your consignment worth $2.7 million us dollars which I have been instructed by UPS DIPLOMATIC COURIER SERVICE to be delivered to you. The Airport authority demanded for all the legal back up to prove to them that the fund is no way related with drug nor fraud money,

I have presented the papers I handed to them and they are very much pleased with the papers I presented but the only thing that is still keeping me here is the airport delivery Tag which is not placed on the boxes, one of the Airport Authority has advise that we get the delivery tag so that I can exit the airport immediately and make my delivery successful. I try to reason with them and they stated the delivery tag will cost us just $95 Dollars only to get the tag placed on the box as that tag will enable me get to your house successfully without any interference, they scanned the boxes and found out that the fund is 100 % spend able and accepted by any bank in the whole world.

Therefore, you are required to reconfirm this below information as soon as possible with the fee of $ 95 dollars needed to obtain the airport delivery tag before the airport authority will allow me to deliver your consignment box to your door step today without any hitch.

Note from blog author: Beware of Western Union money scams that want you to pick up money from a recipient, and wire the difference back. This is a very common scam, and Western Union cautions against receiving money from anyone that you do not know.

Rev. Father Eric Mark Phishing Scam

Rev. Father Eric Mark
UNITED NATIONS ORGANIZATION/
INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND/
WORLD BANK FACT-FINDING & SPECIAL
DUTIES OFFICE.

Greetings to you,

I am Rt. Rev. Father Eric Mark, a senior staff with the World Bank fact
finding & special duties office. Immediately after the publication from
this office last week that all unpaid contract funds (UCF), unpaid lotto
fund (ULF), scammed victims funds (SVF) ETC should be paid through this
office. This office received many applications including from your
representative with British passport NO. 3028882234. He also forwarded
this account to us to transfer your fund into, ACC. NAME: MR JAMES
JACKSON. BANK NAME: CITI BANK. ADDRESS: ARIZONA, USA. ACCOUNT NUMBER:
6503809008. On your receipt of this message urgently reconfirm to this
office whether this person is truly from you or not, as this office will
not be liable if the total sum US$5.5MILLION is paid into your
representative (Mr. James Jackson) account.

If not you are therefore requested to forward the following information to
this office for verifications and re-approval on your name as beneficiary
of the fund. YOUR NAME IN FULL. YOUR COMPLETE ADDRESS. YOUR TELEPHONE OR
CONTACT INFORMATION. AGE AND GENDER. YOUR OCCUPATION. ON PERSONAL NOTE:
According to information I personally gathered from the banks/security and
computer section, you have been waiting for a long time to receive your
money without success. As I found out that you have almost met all the
statutory requirements in respect of your fund settlement. Your problem is
that of interest groups. A lot of people are interested in your payment
and those people are merely doing papers works with you and that is why
you receive messages from different people almost every day. Also we found
out that some of the officials and fraudsters have been extorting a lot of
money from you with the pretext of helping you to receive your money. I
can assure you that this may last for years yet nothing happens, if you do
not do away with those officers you call your partners and for security
reasons. And I have decided to take it upon myself to make sure that you
received your funds immediately through diplomatic means of payment or
through ATM MASTER CARD.

PLEASE NOTE, If you decided to receive the money diplomatic means, that
means two security proof boxes weighing 110kg each, which is 220kg for the
two boxes will be send to you. Already we have visited four courier
companies to make arrangements on how to ship them by courier to you, we
went to DHL, FedEx, IAS, UPS, and all said that they must open the boxes
for inspection by the customs before shipment. This is something we want
to avoid because the boxes were padded with machine in the United States,
to open them you have to cut the pad before you will meet the buttons that
you will press to open the dial code-lock. Therefore there is no way to
open the boxes and be able to close them again. We told the courier
services that the boxes contained film materials and when open to air it
will spoil the materials. We did not declare money (cash) because couriers
do not carry money or they may be tempted to run way with the money. Today
a friend of mine who is diplomat disclosed to me that there is courier
service they use to send diplomatic material and information from one
country to another. It has diplomatic immunity and cannot be checked by
the customs in anywhere in the World. The name of the courier service is
Global Security Service (GSS) I will meet them as soon as I have your go
ahead order. The Diplomat will help me to get immunity papers, so we do
not have any problem.

We have concluded that you must compensate us with five hundred thousand
United States Dollars (US$500.000.00) as soon as you receive your money to
this effect, you will send to us a promissory note for five hundred
thousand united States Dollars (US$500.000.00) along with your address for
sending the boxes by diplomatic courier, Please maintain top most secrecy
as it may cause a lot of problem if found out that we are using this way
to help you. Do not ever tell anybody about this until you have your money
at your doorstep. I, Rev. Father Eric Mark, want to help you because something in me is telling me that you are an honest person, when we concluded this and you send our part. We will help to ship the final part of the money to you. Be blessed as we wait for your urgent reply to send the money through diplomatic
courier or through ATM MASTER CARD. For security reason please reply to (

Yours faithfully,

Rt. Rev. Father Eric Mark
Chairman, Fact-Finding & Special Duties Office
