He only wants to help me…

God Bless You,

I am Mr David Josh, I am a US citizen, 52 years Old. I reside here in New Braunfels Texas. My residential address is as follows. 108 Crockett Court. Apt 303, New Braunfels Texas, United States, am thinking of relocating since I am now rich. I am one of those that took part in the Compensation in Nigeria many years ago and they refused to pay me, I had paid over $70,000 USD while in the US, trying to get my payment all to no avail.

So I decided to travel to WASHINGTON D.C with all my compensation documents, And I was directed by the (F B I) do you think that should read "insert appropriate agency? Director to contact Agent Fred walters Agent? Aren't the FBI all 'Special Agents?, who his a representative of the (F B I) and a member of the COMPENSATION AWARD COMMITTEE, currently in Nigeria.and I contacted him and he explained everything to He took me to the paying bank for the claim of my Compensation payment. Right now I am the most happiest man on earth because I have received my compensation funds of $15 USD,lion Us Dollars However Agent Fred walters, showed me the full information of those that are yet to receive their payments and I saw your name as one of the beneficiaries ooh Fred, what happend to data protection? , and your email address,that is why I decided to email you to stop dealing with those people,they are not with your fund, they are only making money out of you. I will advise you to contact Agent Fred walters.

You have to contact him directly on this information below.

COMPENSATION AWARD HOUSE
Name :Agent Fred walters
Email :agent.fred.walters@nycmail.com
Phone : (+1-360-975-3221)

You really have to stop dealing with those people that are contacting you and telling you that your fund is with them, it is not in anyway with them, they are only taking advantage of you and they will dry you up until you have nothing.

The only money I paid after I met Agent Fred walters was just $420 USD for the paper works, take note of that.Yes, it ONLY costs $420 USD

Note: am sending you this email because of the love I have for all those innocent people been scammed day by day, by various scam artist claiming to be with their fund, You really have to stop dealing with those people that are contacting you and telling you that your fund is with them, it is not in any way with them, they are only taking advantage of you and they will dry you up until you have nothing. How sweet of him

Thank You and Be Blessed.

No idea why he has an Argentinian email address. Anyone with FBI links near Texas want to get someone to check out that address?

It exists:

etc.

If it is being used regularly (mail drop) it would be worth someone in law enforcement wandering by and checking it out. ;-)

Of course it could be someone completely innocent who has no idea their address is 'out there'

Wow, impersonating an FBI agent! Now that's a crime!

SECURITY MINISTER CRITTER27 Jun 2012 6:16 a.m. PST

I just may have to call my cousin and have him drive by,

GeoffQRF27 Jun 2012 7:15 a.m. PST

Ah, he is not actually impersonating an agent… "I was directed by the FBI director to contact Agent Fred…"

Gotta love the email addresses that the FBI uses these days :-)

I knew it was a scam when he said he wanted to move AWAY from Texas. Sheesh, how gullible does he think people are? :D

Amen TJ!

Austin Rob27 Jun 2012 12:38 p.m. PST

Well, New Braunfels, Texas actually does exist.

If one part of the email is true, then must not all of it be true?

DesertScrb27 Jun 2012 4:34 p.m. PST

I googled "108 Crockett Court" and the first three links were warnings about phishing scams--and one was from 2009.

Also, that address is for a public housing project just a couple of blocks from the police department.

SECURITY MINISTER CRITTER28 Jun 2012 9:10 p.m. PST

My cousin told me today Crockett was the projects.
