[Resolved]  General — YAHOO/MSN LOTTERY INCORPORATION-FAKE.

Hi,

This is with regard to a Yahoo/Msn Lottery Incorporation Board's attempt to spread fake mails related to winning prize money worth 750,000 GBP. I got the mail on 17 / 01 / 010 from mail id: [protected]@live.com from Sarah Donalds-event manager-payment & receipt,and Elizabeth Martin. She asked me a few personal details i.e. name, age, sex, address, telephone no., marital status, occupation, state, country and nationality. Once i replied to this mail, I got a mail on 18 / 01 / 2010stating that I have to contact the courier company: TRANSWORLD COURIER SERVICE LIMITED. with Mr. Rox Kings as the despatch officer and contact no.: (+[protected]. I called up this no. : [protected] and Mr. Rox Kings spoke to me and asked to me revert to his mail which was a confirmation from my side to pay the Special Despatch Officer Diplomat Brian Smith a sum of Rs. 25000 as a custom clearance. I was told by Rox kings that Brian Smith would land at Mumbai on 19/ 01/ 2010 at 10: 15 A.M. but he ended up landing at New Delhi. I replied to Rox Kings mail on 18 / 01 / 2010 and was waiting for Brian Smith. Mr. Smith called me on 19 / 01 / 2010 and provided me with A/c No.: [protected] in the name of Ranjeet Singh, State Bank of India, Gurgaon, with Pan No.: CEYPS8142F. I had deposited Rs. 25000 in cash as against custom clearance. Thereafter He provided me with a RBI Remmittance Instruction form which required account details. I had to provide him with my husband's account no. as I had recently applied for account opening in HDFC which is not opened. Moreover I requested him to kindly credit the prize money in my husband's account or else he will have to wait for some days before i open my own account. He agreed on depositing the prize money in my husband's account. Thereafter he asked me to provide him with Rs. 148000 as against cost conversion and other fees. I had managed to arrange the money and asked my husband to do payment to the account which he provided us with: Overseas Placement, A/c No.:[protected], HSBC bank, Gurgaon and Pan No.: CBHPS7173Q. he also provided me with IFSC code: HSBC0110005. He also provided me with an account in ICICI Bank in the name of AHAD DECORE with A/C No.:[protected], Pan No.: AFGPA2753M and branch: NFC, ICICI Bank. my husband preferred to do an RTGS payment to the account in HSBC bank worth Rs. 148000. Once it was done he provided us with a Declaration form from United Nation's Office of Drugs and Crime which he said is a declaration that the said amount will not be used for any wrong use. we found it a genuine and we filledup the form and provided him with the form duly signed by me and my husband. Once submitted he is again asking for Rs. 392000 as a security refundable deposit and will be paid back by UNODC in a two week's time. By this time I started doubting the whole process and when I checked the same in google I can to know that it is all fake and has happened with many.
Please trace the no: [protected] from which Mr. Brian Smith used to call me.
Please arrange for an immediate action.

Regards,

Nandini
