I replied stating that I am a Shell worker here in New Zealand and I received a form stating to contact Mr Michael Moyo at Fund Release Centre in Manchester

Do these people think we are stupid more so when they contact a Shell worker in another Country do they not think we are going to investigate further?
is this a scam like the other
I am agree to your e-mail massage .I am the winner of SPDC award and i want to recieve this shell award immediatly.



THANK YOU.
You should always check such messages with the help of http://www.hoax-slayer.com

Never ever try to reply or co-ordinate by email / sms / call to such people who sends an email of such sort.
I received an email on 10 August 2008 similar to the ones above indicating I had won 200, 000 GB pounds. There was a typographical error in the 1st sentence so, to investigate further I replied asking for instructions on collecting the prize and received the following email with the company name of "Shell Petroleum Development Company o[censored].K." at the top surrounded by the Shell logo at either end:

AFTER RECEIVING THIS EMAIL, I GOOGLED THE COMPANY NAME AND FOUND SIMILAR LETTERS POSTED ON VARIOUS CONSUMER COMPLAINT AND SCAM WEBSITES INCLUDING THIS ONE. i NOTICED THAT THEY LIST A REFERENCE # IN THE EMAIL WHICH IS IDENTICAL TO REFERENCE #s SENT TO OTHER RECIPIENTS; THE LACK OF AN INDIVIDUAL REFERENCE NUMBER FOR EACH RECIPOENT PROVES THIS IS A SCAM AS IS THE FACT THAT THE GRAMMAR IN MUCH OF THE TEXT IS ON PROPER ENGLISH.

Has anybody tried calling this UK number mentioned in the mail?

Even i have also received the same mail with same ref number... Interestingly how would they typically misuse the information, or rather how would be the the general modus-operandi with this hoax mails?
This is definetly a 419 scam.The Nigerians thrive on gullible people. They are really very amateur in this approach: Language is bad, spelling mistakes rife, same ref no to all, same surname of prize administrator in many cases, just a name change.

They are totally pathetic !!

Why doesn't Shell go public and denounce this as a scam?
