pam bondi

A US$3,950,000.00 compensation payment is on offer from no less than Pam Bondi, United States Attorney General, U.S. Department of Justice so it must be real? You want to ask yourself why would someone claiming to be the US Attorney General and emailing from a Thai email address want to give you this fortune?

Let's see what "Pam Bondi" has to say...

Subject: ***SPAM*** Re: Approval letter for your compensation payment

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing on behalf of the U.S. Department of Justice, and the mission of the Department of Justice is to uphold the rule of law, to keep our country safe, to make the world a better place for everyone, and to protect civil rights.

I wish to inform you through this medium that you have been listed among other scam victims to be compensated by the United States Government in conjunction with the International Monetary Fund and the United Nations Compensation Commission [UNCC]. The beneficiaries entitled to receive compensation were screened, verified, and submitted by the world-leading security agencies that collaborated together and conducted a thorough investigation and arrested some of the scammers who make a living from extorting money from innocent people, and your information was found on one of the flash drives that was among other valuable items recovered from these perpetrators.

The U.S. government reached an agreement with intergovernmental and international organizations to compensate the affected victims and those with genuine unclaimed funds. The sum of $3,950,000.00 [Three Million Nine Hundred and Fifty Thousand United States dollars] has been approved as a compensation in your favor, and the fund payment is scheduled to be processed through bank transfer or ATM card, and the fund payment will be handled by a senior financial expert appointed by the United States government.

Your compensation reference No: UN/USD25/US980225

To proceed with the claim of your compensation fund, you are required to kindly contact the payment officer, Mrs. Tracy B. Cool, via this email [ approvedpymentcenter1@outlook.com ] with your compensation reference No: UN/USD25/US980225 for more comprehensive information regarding the transfer of the funds to your designated bank account.

I appreciate your immediate attention to this matter.

Sincerely in service,

Pam Bondi,
United States Attorney General,
U.S. Department of Justice.


Notes: The sender email address is a Thai email address linked to an academic institution which appears to be the Hat Yai College School. It is very unlikely that Pam Bondi would be emailing from that address nor dealing with responses being sent to outlook.com email addresses mentioned (outlook.com is a free email provider).

You may have been a scam victim but I doubt you would have lost as much money to justify a compensation of such a large amount even if the Justice Department administered such a scheme which they do not.

 

 

Recomendation: Just delete the email.
