Hello thrasher4,
If the Western Union control number is valid it will be a restricted pick up so that you can't actually collect the money. When you reply saying the money can't be picked up there will be some kind of excuse why you have to pay a fee for this non existent money.

It is ALWAYS a scam
If the pet seller or shipper asks for money to be sent via Western Union, Money Gram, any brand of gift card. Walmart To Walmart , Zelle , PayPal friends and family option, or mentions Cameroon

It's a scam aimed at people who have already had interactions with a scammer, supposedly the same one. That is, it's a recovery scam, in the broad sense.

For further communication only be reaching me through this email address because this is my private email address, please i want you to know that this is a Great opportunity for both of us and all you need to do is to arrange an account where this fund will transfer into and please i want you to be courageous because as a staff in this bank i will use my position in this bank to protect your interest and push your application to approval level and i assure you that this transaction is 100% risk free and we going to join hands together to bear the expenses.

The incident happen on Monday, 31 July, 2000 and here is the name of his family involved in the plane crash ,German property magnate Andreas Schranner, 64, his wife Maria, 62, their daughter Andrea Eich, 38, her husband Christian, 57, and their children Katharina, eight, and Maximilian, 10, all perished in the jet, here is the website also (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/859479.stm)

My advise to you is to arrange for a receiving bank account into which our bank shall transfer this fund in your favour as next of kin and you have nothing to fear since i am here ,i shall be giving you all the developmental information from the bank as soon as the transaction commence.

Also note that 14 working days from the date the bank receives your application is enough for the funds to get transferred and the transaction will come to a successful conclusion.

Dear, i hope that you will not disappoint me when this fund enters into your account, i have all my hope in this transaction because i shall soon go on retirement, i am a simple banker whose credibility is still intact and with my maturity and understanding.

I promise to give the best co-operation. If you are really interested in this transaction, then we must hurry up so that our bank and government shall not claim and inherit this fund because it has over-stayed.

As soon as I hear from you, I will send to you a text of application which you will fill and send to the bank. But before that I will like to be reassured of the manner of person whom I am dealing with because 18.5 million U.S.D is not a little money, therefore I have to get certain necessary facts about you before we proceed. Such information I will like to know before we proceed are as follows:

(1) Your age
(2)Your occupation
(3)Your marital status
(4)Your full residential address
(5)Your private phone and fax number and your complete name.
(6)A copy of your photo scanned and sent to me by mail. As soon as I receive these dates, I will forward to you the application form which you will send to the bank.

Meanwhile I will like you to know more about myself. I am a married man with 2 children a girl and a boy. I have decided to do this deal because i have worked in this bank for years without achieving anything due to the corruption in this country.

Workers salaries are hardly paid. It’s true this country is one of the poorest in the world but the leaders are very wicked and corrupt. Even the Aids we receive a times from Donor countries as well as the international communities are being diverted into the private pockets of those in authority.

Therefore while the rich are getting richer, the poor masses continue to suffer. Could you believe a manager like me can't even take good care of my children? I only have a name NOT money or any material possessions. So this is why when i saw this opportunity, i decided to capitalize on it with my position in the bank and i hope with your co-operation, success will be for us. I have also attached my family photo for you to down-load and have a look at whom you are transacting with. So i will like you to confirm receipt of it.

Please always keep in touch with me regularly to facilitate a very smooth transaction. So as I’ve told you i have studied and perfected this transaction before i contacted you.

Finally it's very mandatory that you follow all my instructions to avoid any mistake in this transaction and you should not in anyway let the bank know about my involvement in this transaction, you can reach me on this number 00226 74 94 00 36

Anxiously waiting to hear from you.

Thanks
Dr Haruna Bello
