Normally, this type of scam/spam email goes directly to my Junk folder and I delete it without ever looking at it but the subject line made me laugh.
This is a new one to me. Usually you are asked to contact an attorney, executer, or banker to “receive” your money. I have never seen one asking you to contact a priest, I guess this makes it legit since a priest wouldn’t scam you.
They usually want your banking information so they can transfer the funds to you but this is an ATM card. But…”this ATM CARD is real is not like the one you have see before OK just trust me okay”.
By the end of the email the guy is practically begging you to contact the priest.
I’ve pasted it below for your enjoyment. I’m sure you’ll find it as amusing as I did.
Just trust me okay.
Contact my Priest for your ATM CARD, or Call Line: +234 7080847673
