26th January 2024 - Advance Fee Fraud Scam

On 26th January 2024, telephone number +19178097194 was reported as being used by scammers to pretend to be Merrick Garland using email address merrick.garland44@yahoo.com as part of an Advance Fee Fraud Scam.

In Advance Fee Fraud Scams, the scammer will offer you something of high value (a large sum of money or gold for example) and all you have to do is pay a "small" fee. What the scammer is offering you does not actually exist and the scammer will come up with fee after fee that needs to be paid by the victims, until he either runs out of money or realises that he has been scammed. The scammer will often pretend to be real people or companies, use fake websites and introduce various characters, all with the aim of convincing the victim that what is being offered to him is real.

Here is the email that the scammer sent to his victims.

I am Merrick Garland (US Attorney General) With reference to your entitlement fund and inline with the CHANGE OF BENEFICIARY'S APPLICATION, signed by Mr. Fredrick Uriel with your purported authorization.

But Did you ever instruct Mr. Fredrick Uriel to claim your fund worth US$10,500.000.00 USD? Below is the bank account information provided by Mr. Fredrick Uriel saying that you authorized him to claim your funds that you are terminally ill.

Account Number: 150018557373

If you had not authorized the change of your bank account in respect
to your outstanding entitlement Payment, therefore notify me immediately as the notification / declaration was supported with a sworn affidavit which was signed by Mr. Fredrick Uriel who claimed and stated in the sworn declaration that you authorized him to claim the said fund on your behalf to a different Bank Account in the U.S.A as stated above because you were terminally ill and the Doctor who is incharge of your case stated that you will not stay more than one Month before passing away.

This development has caused lots of discrepancies in your payment file that is why we had to suspend your Compensation Payment and prompted to contact you directly before re-validating your payment.

Awaiting for your response.
