Mr. M, a respected furniture manufacturer, exporter and owner of furniture stores in Manila received a letter from Europe notifying him that he won hundreds of thousands of dollars. He was doubtful but at the same time, the lure of receiving tons of money engulfed him. He responded to the letter from Yemen and there followed a series of coordination as to how the money could be wired to his account. His account number and other bank details were necessary. He was also asked to remit at first $500 for processing, then a few more remittances to defray bank charges, wire transfer fees, courier, etc. In other words, Mr. M lost some $5,000.
Mr. J and Mr. K, travelled with the business delegation during FVR’s time. They told me that the two of them had a terrifying experience. They too, both received letters with the same modus operandi. They too, believed. They believed it so much that they even risked their lives by traveling to the country where the suppossed money would come from.
As soon as they arrived at the airport, a group of goons picked them up and hauled them to a hotel room, their passports confiscated and they weren’t allowed to leave unless they gave this syndicate some $20,000. They were there for a week.
They were allowed to leave after coughing up thousands of dollars. Lucky for them, they got out of that country alive.
They had a detailed story unfortunately much of the details were erased from my memory as this happened long time ago.
I myself have received no less than 50 of this letters from the mail. With the advent of technology, this syndicates now use email. Reaching out to millions of potential victims worldwide.

I believe there are many groups and individuals doing this same operandi. They provide a website kuno but actually it links you to a legitimate government institution or an organization that has the same name as their site, because the syndicates use names that are confusingly similar to those legit ones.
I even called the number they provided. It was in Britain evidenced by the country code. When I told them why I was calling, this is with regards to theier email to me advising me that I won one million pounds, I heard words/ hush hush and I could feel their excitement. They probably thought, hmmm another stupid victim.
Why would any one, a complete stranger from hell, would give me millions of pounds sterling. Hello. If they know where it is and it’s at their disposal just like what they claim, then they should just keep it or donate to their neighbors, relatives, friends, to Red Cross.
I answered their email and told them I appreciate their generosity. And I would like to donate all the money to the British government.
Countless people sent a few dollars, a few hundred, and some, thousands of dollars to these syndicates hoping that they would really be wired hundreds of millions. Hello! Knock knock.
