Subject: RELEASE OF YOUR UNPAID COMPENSATION FUNDS

Hello Dear Beneficiary,

I am Brian Wesley Shukan, the newly appointed United States Ambassador

to Benin. After successful tenure and service in Sudan,  President Joe

Biden nominated me to be the next United States Ambassador to Benin

due to my committed effort to the service. After the Senate Foreign

Relations Committee held hearings on my nomination, I was confirmed

and sent to take over activities here in the U.S Embassy Cotonou,

Benin on May 5, 2022.

I am not happy with what I discovered here at the embassy. Upon my

resumption, I have noticed numerous unpaid scam victims compensation

funds belonging to several beneficiaries. The past administration of

the embassy did not do enough to disseminate these funds to the

rightful  owners. I understand that this may be due to corruption in

the system which I stand against. I have personally swore to deliver

these funds to the beneficiaries with immediate

The United Nations in agreement with the United States ordered

Benin-Republic to pay a compensation amount of $3M USD to each scam

victim for what they suffered in the name of their country, but so

far, not a good number of people have been paid. A Lot of

beneficiaries have not gotten their payments and the authorities are

sitting on it. I have made it a point of duty to personally see to the

disbursement of these funds to the rightful owners and it's on this

note that I decided to contact you for the release of your

compensation funds to you.

Kindly re-confirm the following

1. Name:

2. Address:

3. Phone:

4. Occupation:

5. Age:

6. Country:

7: How much you lost to the impostors:

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours in Duty

Ambassador Brian Wesley Shukan

said whoever is contacting us through emails are fake, He
took me to the paying bank for the claim of my Compensation
payment This was paid to me successfully. Right now I am the
happiest woman on earth because I have finally received my
compensation fund of( US $2.5 Million) Hence, AGENT ERIC MAX,
showed me the full Information of Those that are yet to
receive their compensation funds and I saw  your name
as one of the scam victims and one of the US $2.5 Million

Dear Sir,

Asset Funds Auditor

I work with a prime Bank here in the United Kingdom as an auditor. In the course of auditing the books of the deposits in this bank, it was discovered that a certain secret deposit has been unattended for the past seven years and when investigated, the depositor was an expatriate mining and oil industry engineer who is now late. He left no other name or contact in the deposit documents.

As it is the usual practice in banking, this bank will statutorily revert the deposit to their treasury unless a claim is made on it immediately. With perfect documentation therefore, we can make a claim for the deposit in your favor and the deposit will revert to you, and the process is simple and possible with your full co-operation. Assets value is twelve point three million US dollars only but it will be moved to you in small volumes.

The asset has to first be positioned to you as the owner and when the asset has been successfully reverted to you as the owner, the process of evacuation of asset to you will follow.

Asset Funds needs Contact info

For us to achieve this reverting of asset ownership to you, send for now
1. Your full names
2.  Address
3.  Tel. Number:
4. Your present occupation.

I will involve an attorney here who will procure supporting documents and present the documents to the  bank for processing of the change and payment to you.

Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)

The below email was received from "Miss Recheal Adams" email address: Washington@fbi.gov

Attention: Beneficiary,


We the FBI at the Scammed Victims Compensation Fund Unit would like to bring to your notice that your email address has won you the sum of $3.5, 000,000.00 USD ($3.5 million USA dollars) from the United Nations World Organizations (UNO) due to the uncontrollable fraudulent activities which has been going on in the United State Of America and most part of the World.

Your email address was gotten as a result of the previous investigation carried out by the FBI homeland security on fraudsters that was cut at 532 la copita. San Ramon California 94583 USA. He was cut sending fake ATM card and Bank Cheques to people and on the investigation process a group of email addresses of America citizen who has been scam lot of money where found in his PC. They have been taken to Court for persecution.

A series of meetings have been held over the past two weeks with the secretary general of the United Nations Organization Gen. Banki Moon. This ended 3 days ago, and It is obvious that you have not received your own compensation fund which is to the tune of $3.5 Million USD Dollars, due to past corrupt Governmental Officials who almost held the funds to themselves for their selfish reasons and some individuals who have taken advantage of your fund all in an attempt to swindle your fund which has led to so many losses from your end and unnecessary delay in the receipt of your compensation fund.

However, the National Central Bureau of Interpol enhanced by the United Nations and Federal Bureau of Investigation have successfully passed a mandate to the current Governor of Washington DC his Excellency Governor Jay Inslee to boost these exercise of clearing all foreign debts owned to you and other individuals and organizations who have been found not to have receive their Contract Sum, Lottery/Gambling, Inheritance and the likes.

Now how would you like to receive your Compensation Funds Award worth the sum of $3.5 Million USD? Because we have two method of payment which is by Bank Cashier Cheque or by ATM Debit Master Card?

ATM Debit Master Card: We will be issuing you an ATM Debit Master Card which you can be able to withdraw up to $10,000 per day from any ATM machine that has the Master Card Logo on it and the card have to be renewed in 4 years time which is 2018. Also with the ATM Debit Mater Card you will be able to transfer Money into your local bank account. The ATM card comes with a handbook manual to enlighten you on how to make use of it. You can get this ATM card even if you do not have a bank account.


Bank Cashier Cheque: Your Funds would be deposited into the World Bank of America your bank for and you will be issued a Cheque which would be cleared within next three working days into your personal Bank account.

Your Compensation Funds Award would be sent to you via any of your preferred option and would be delivered to you via the UPS Courier Service, because we have signed a contract with UPS which should expire in next three weeks. But before the UPS can leave for your doorstep you will only need to pay for their

Delivery fee to your home which is only $380 USD Dollars instead of paying $565 Dollars thereby saving you $185 Dollars and if you pay before the three weeks of February 2015 you save yourself $185. Take note that anyone asking you for some kind of money above the usual fee is definitely Imposters and you will have to stop communication with every other person if you have been in contact with any.

Note: Every other Bills and Taxes has been taken care of by the Federal Government of Washington DC, The United Nation and also the United State FBI, the UPS Courier service delivery fee is all you will ever have to pay which is $380 USA Dollars only. Do not send money to anyone until you read this and have heard from me. The actual fees for shipping your ATM card is $565 dollars but because UPS have temporarily discontinued the C.O.D which gives you the chance to pay when package is delivered for international shipping We had to sign contract with them for bulk shipping which makes the fees reduce from the actual fee of $565 to $380 nothing more and no hidden fees of any sort!

Below are few list of tracking numbers you can track from the (UPS) Website (WWW.UPS.COM). To confirm beneficiaries like you who have received their payment successfully.
