I received an email today from Mrs. Doris Udoh, a “Public Relations Officer” from the United Nations. She informed me that the United Nations has just passed a resolution allowing me to get back the money the was fradulently taking from me. I can receive a maximum of $150,000 back. Awesome! I’m excited. But wait, I wasn’t scammed… so am I still eligible for this payment?

This is to bring to your notice that our bank (FIDELITY BANK PLC ) is delegated by the ECOWAS/UNITED NATIONS in Central Bank to pay victims of scam $150,000 (One Hundred And Fifty Thousand Dollars Only). You are listed/approved for this payment as one of the scammed victims to be paid this amount.

In other to compensate victims, the ECOWAS/UNITED NATIONS is now paying victims of such scam $150,000(One Hundred And Fifty THOUSAND DOLLARS EACH) in accordance with the UNITED NATIONS recommendations. The payments are to be remitted by FIDELITY BANK PLC NIGERIA as corresponding paying bank under funding assistance by CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA. Benefactor of this compensation award will have to be first cleared by FIDELITY BANK and confirmed as a victim from Africa Scam before scam payment can be effected. We shall feed you with further modalities as soon as we get response from you on how you can receive your compensation payment award.

So what did I do? I wrote Mr. Osagie Dode an email saying I was elated that my I would be receiving my scam money back.

Dear Mr. Bode,
Thank heavens that you wrote me. I can’t believe I was scammed and I’m thrilled to hear of the United Nations helping me out. Please inform me of what I must do in order to receive my payment. Thank you very much. I look forward to working with you.

Sincerely,
Giacomo Connavecchellio

I don’t know if they’ll write me back or not… but it’s time they received a taste of their own medicine.
