Scammers send Letter to Paul Ridden asking for Bitcoin on behalf of the Queen

The lengths that some people will go to scam others is unfathomable.

A man claiming to be Mr. Edward Young posing as the "Private Secretary to HM the Queen Elizabeth II" sent a letter to Paul Ridden, the Chief Executive Officer at Smarttask. There is incorrect spelling and grammar in the scam letter.

The letter reads:

Dear Mr. Ridden,

For the second time in the last 30 yrs, Her majesty the Queen Elizabeth II appeals to a certain number of people to save Great Britain's economy. As you know, the Brexit will happen quite quickly, and we have not reached a bilateral agreement with the European Union.
To save and sustain the UK's economy after Brexit, we must pay the European Union 19 billions.
We currently have more than 82%  of money available, and we need to rise the rest until Oct 19th 2019.

With indulgence we appeal to you if you can borrow the Royal House with amounts between 450,000 - 2,000,000

We will offer 30% interest for a period of 3 months and posibility to become a Member of the Royal Warrant Holders Assiciation.

By paying this amount to the European Union, we will be able to keep the economy and inflation exactly as it is for a minimum period of 10 years and the future changes will not affect imports from EU countries.

We want this letter to remain anonymous as we do not wish the subject to go viral. This could affect the agreements we have in order to obtain the bilateral agreement.

In order to be able to help us financially, please transfer the money to the Bitcoin address that was attached to your letter. Once we receive the funds, we will send you another letter with the contract.

The Queen's warm good wishes to you all for your continuing success in the future.

Dr. Richard Bruno and Richard Paul Dayton International Airport Email Phishing Scam

Inside the Dayton International Airport

Attn: Consignment Box Owner.

Sorry for this unexpected message to you. I am Richard Paul, a Security Manager at the Dayton International Airport, Dayton Ohio, USA. During a recent routine check at all Security/Storage Units at the airport, I discovered an abandoned shipment in your name coming from Nigeria which was on Transit to your city but was intercepted by the Dayton International Airport Security for lack of proper clearance papers as the consignment was scanned and discovered to contain valuable cash between US $4.5 Million US Dollars in estimation that was not properly declared to the authorities since the tags on the consignment showed the item contains Personal Belongings/ Family Treasures which is not in regulations to the delivery requirements by The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) so in this regards, the consignment was placed on hold until proper clearances are provided by a reliable Government source. The details on the consignment are tagged as:

Type: SUITCASE

Wheels: 4 wheels

Handles: Trolley handle with top & side handles

Approximate Dimensions: Height: 3.20 ft, Width: 2.50 ft, Depth: 1.90 ft.

Weight: 180lbs.

Richard Paul, A Security Manager at Dayton International Airport

However, be informed that the reason I - Richard Paul - have taken it upon myself as a Security Manager at the Dayton International Airport to contact you personally about this abandoned shipment is because I am a GOD fearing man and i would not want you to loose your consignment box since the box has not yet been returned to the United states Treasury Department for further inspection after being abandoned by the shipper so immediately the confirmation is made, I will go ahead with all negotiations with the airport authorities for the release of the consignment box to me as your representative so I can arrange for the delivery to your city since the encoded Tag on the Bill of entry for the consignment was declared as personal effect so the reconciliation of Correct Manifest information as Valuable cash in the new Bill of entry is needed before the release can be implemented.

Lastly, to enable me confirm if you are the actual recipient of this consignment Box, I will advise you get back to me as quick as possible and re-confirm your address so that i can be sured that the box is going to the rightful owner, also list the closest airport to you to enable me cross check if it corresponds with the address on the official documents including the normalization of your Bill of Entry and arrange for the box to be moved out of this Airport to your address. Once we are through with this process.
