RECOVERY OF DIVERTED ATM DEBIT CARD
I am contacting you personally to notify you of our discovery as well as get some fact from you. Recently we arrested a man with name Francisco Zuela a Ghanian Citizen who work with D.H.L office in Lagos with an ATM CARD with your name on it as the beneficiary and the owner of the card. However the entire parcel containing the proof of claim ownership which is also in your name has so far has been recovered from him.
After we arrested and interrogated him, he confessed as stated below.My name is Francisco Zuela, I work with the D.H.L office in Nigeria. November last year, I was approached by a lawyer about the diversion of a parcel containing ATM DEBIT CARD belonging to YOU. which I agreed and then we collaborated to divert the card to another address in your countery from where to be sure it confirmed entry into your countery after which it was return to Nigeria to avoid any suspicion.
Later we wrote to the the Issuing bank as the beneficiary and with the help of the collaborator, the risk and management department of the bank gave me the pin code of the card. Since then I have been making withdraw sharing with my collaborators until this week when the card was blocked by the bank that I should contact the issuing bank already I have made withdraw of about USDUS86,800.00 within this period.
The above is the suspect’ s confession and we have contacted the card issuing bank who also told us that there was an initial complain from the beneficiary though the identity of the mentioned person was not disclosed. They confirmed that there was an application from you to re-release the ATM Card Pin upon receipt which direct was sent to an email with your name but they are not aware that you have not received the card since you did not inform them hence the card was diverted.
We will like to hear from you immediately to enable us carry out action as well make arrangement for the ATM CARD $15.5million to be re-dispatched to you without any delay upon reconciliation with the issuing bank. From our secret investigation so far, we have confirmed that this suspect is in collaboration with some officials of the bank to divert this CARD without your knowledge which is confirmed in our Investigation. At this point, do not communicate with anyone to avoid leakage of information until we are able to arrest everyone involved.
