Dear Mr. Muddu

I've tried to pay to that account but my online says Transaction Denied. Never had that problem before even though I pay all my bills using the online. Do you have a not Nigeria account and I pay to that instead. Maybe it's a thing with the uk and Nigerian banks.

Thank you
Bill

Bill's not being entirely truthful in saying that he's 'never had that problem before'. In fact, it's an issue he encounters on a regular basis.

Dear Mr. Muddu

My bank still gives that same Transaction Denied message. I've tried phoning them up and customer services says there is a flag. Not sure what that means.

Could you advise?
Bill

[Dissolute Dan]

5 months pass with no response.
Thought I'd give my friend a poke.

Dent > Muddu

Dear Mr. Muddu

Is my case still active?
I've not heard from you for a long time and was expecting matters to be resolved by now.

Bill

Dent > Muddu

Dear Mr Muddu

I still can't pay to that account. Do you have an account with a bank that's not in Nigeria? Maybe it's some issue with UK/Nigeria transactions.

This is very frustrating. I just want to get on with things!

Bill

To resolve the problem, Guterres supplies account #4, this time as US bank.
Scammer seems to alternate between being Guterres & Muddu.

Guterres > Dent

You can go ahead and send it to this account bellow under and get back to me with the confirmation slip,

Bank Name: *****
Routing Number: *****
AC Number: *****
AC Name: *****
Checking Account
Bank address: **** NC USA
Receiver's Address: ***** USA

Thought I'd see if I can get my friend to edit a few documents.

Dent > Guterres

Dear Mr Guterres

That's great I'll pay to that account shortly. Probably the process will work with a US bank. I buy things now and then fro the US without any problem.

Before doing that, I'm still worrying that there has been a mistake. I don't want to accept the payment but then have to return it once the error is discovered. Can you send me a copy of your documentation or certificate, with my name on it, so I don't have to worry about that?

Finally, you said I need to pay $18. As I'm in the uk, my payment will be in British Pounds. Is that ok?

Thank you
Bill

[Dissolute Dan]

Although Bill had mailed Mr Guterres, reply is from Mr Muddu.

He attaches a splendid collecton of certificates, all bearing Dent's name, covering everything that conceivably might require certification. All are signed and bear a red seal, thus laying to rest any lingering doubt as to the bone fides of this transaction.

Muddu > Dent

Dear Bill Dent

Thanks for your mail. I want you to know that you have nothing to worry about because all the back up Certificates has been issued and signed in your name which our delivery courier will deliver the original hard copies of the Certificates to you together with your card and pin so worry not about that as everything is under our control

Again what you are require to pay is delivery and insurance fee of $185 not $18 and you can also send it in British Pounds fine but into the account which I have given to you bellow under, Or you can send the fee by sending Amazon gift card of $185

Bank Name: *****
Routing Number: *****
AC Number: *****
AC Name: *****
Checking Account
Bank address: **** NC USA
Receiver's Address: ***** USA
Swift: ******

Once the fee is received from you we will proceed and hand over your card to our delivery agent for immediate delivery direct to the address you have provided bellow (**** London ***) After making the payment also get back to me with the transfer confirmation slip including your direct phone number copy of your valid ID Card

View attachments and see scan copies of all the back up certificates which has been issued and signed in your name to show that you are the rightful beneficiary so you have nothing to worry about at all,

Thanks for your understanding

Dent > Guterres

Dear Mr Guterres

I was giving those certificates a final check before pressing the 'make a payment' button at my bank. I noticed that the Anti-Terrorist certificate clearly states that the payment is covid 19 compensation. Luckily, I spotted this just before I clicked the button.

This is a very disappointing discovery because I've never caught covid. I certainly don't want to get in trouble with the UN authorities for making a claim to which I'm not entitled.

Is there any compensation based on family members? My daughter contracted covid, three times in fact. Is there any hope of compensation payable in this situation? I'd be obliged if you could send me the appropriate family certificate if that is indeed the case.

I do hope I can still qualify!

Bill

Guterres > Dent

You are not having any issue with the UN because they approved the payment in your name so are you ready to pay the fee and receive your payment or should we go ahead and cancel it?

i wait your reply soon

[Dissolute Dan]

Dent > Guterres

Dear Mr Guterres

You are certain that I'm not going to have to pay the money back? I'd feel much happier if I knew for sure that there was family covid compensation in addition to just myself.

Bill

Concerning news for Bill. The payment is about to be cancelled.

Guterres > Dent

Your payment to be cancelled on Monday since you are not ready to do what is required in order for you to receive your payment,

Thanks

Dent > Guterres

Dear Mr Guterres

Could you instruct your payment office to delay a few more days so that we may finalise our arrangements?

I'm still concerned that I'd be accepting money on the basis of a document, known by me to be false. That sort of thing can lead to big troubles down the line. It's worth taking the time to resolve such matters before money changes hands.

Thank you
Bill

Guterres > Dent

Your payment to be cancelled by end of today,
Thanks

[Kitty La Gore]

^^^ well, duh, the red seals of approval weren't notarized on those documents!

[Dissolute Dan]

Dent > Guterres

Dear Mr Guterres

How much is the delivery fee? Searching for your old mails, some say $250 and some say $750. Please clarify. Plus, are your bank issues now resolved?

Have to managed to find the family certificate?

Bill

Guterres > Dent

Thanks for your mail.

Please Know that the reason why your payment is not yet cancelled is because yesterday and today is public holiday which is the reason why your payment cancellation date has been extended till Friday so if you send the fee before Friday is 100% rest assured that you will receive your card without been cancelled but fail to do that s 100% rest assured that your payment will be cancelled and we have nothing to loose

The delivery fee of your card is $185 not $250 or $750 so if you are ready to send the delivery fee of $185 by tomorrow that means we will dispatch your card by Thursday to avoid been cancelled by Friday because order has been given to cancel your payment since you are not ready to do what is required in order for you to receive your payment like orders

Send the fee to the account which I have given to you and get back to me with the confirmation slip then leave the rest for me to handle and make sure your card is delivered to you without any problem or delay,

Dent > Guterres

Dear Mr Guterres

Apologies for this but could you remind me of where we have got to? This arrangement has proven to be more complicated than I was expecting and I've got lost. Also I accidentally deleted some of my old e-mails.

I know there is a payment due to me. Is it a cash delivery?

Please bear with me while I get this clear in my mind.

Bill

Guterres > Dent

Are you ready to send the $185 so that our delivery agent will proceed or not?

Dent > Guterres

Yes, that all looks good.

Have you checked the information on your documentation against my address?

***** House
London
**** ***

It's still likely that this is a case of mistaken identity. There are many individuals in the uk sharing my name.

I've not been able to arrange a delivery location with the courier yet,

Bill

Guterres > Dent

Have you send the delivery fee yet?

Dent > Guterres

Dear Mr Guterres

Not yet. This is most likely a case of mistaken identity, Many individuals in the UK share my name. I'm waiting for documentation that shows both my name and address. I think I've allowed myself to get too excited about a matter that concerns a person sharing my name but residing at a different address.
