Public Service Announcements Keeping the public informed of what is wrong in the world

Another ATM card advance fee scam. It’s obviously a very special card as the scammer states “the amount you are to withdrew per day is $20,000.00 USD”. I don’t know of any cash point that will support that size of withdrawal!

Also, if this “prize” is legitimate, why does it have to be hidden in a magazine?

I just want to inform you that I have deposited your ATM MASTER CARD of USD $500,000,00 United state dollars to the FedEx Delivery services here in West Africa, Due to security purpose I now decide to deposit the ATM MASTER CARD with the FEDEX DELIVERY SERVICES. I have paid to them their delivery charges & insurance coverage fee, the only fee to be paid again is their security safe keeping fee of $210 dollars only. I would have paid that but they said no because they don’t know when you will contact them and in case of demurrage.
I will be traveling to IRAQ to see my boss and I will not come back till next four months, therefore I will advise you to contact the FEDEX SHIPMENT officer with his contact information as listed below for the avoidance of increase of their security safe keeping fee.
Note that I packaged the ATM MASTER CARD inside a magazine where nobody will notice the content, I also told the shipment officer Mr.James Oliver, that it is ordinary African magazine I want to deliver to my friend abroad to avoid further delay unless you delay to send their security safe keeping fee.
