Federal Reserve Bank Compensation Scam
Federal Reserve Bank Compensation Scam
Now I have not been contacted before by the Federal Reserve Bank offering me US$50,000,000.00 but as we all should know this is a 409 Advanced Fee Scam whereby you end up paying out "fees" to persons who are clearly scammers. But let's see what Jerome Powell (Chair Of the Federal Reserve Bank) has to say

Your payment files from three (3) different banks, Natwest Bank of London, Central Bank of Nigeria and Bank of America were compiled and submitted to my desk this morning for review. The total sum owed to you by the 3 banks mentioned above was sum up to the amount of US$50,500,000.00 (Fifty Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars).
Now the fund has been totally lodged in one particular Escrow account (non deductible) here in the Federal Reserve Bank New York on your name, while waiting for accreditation to your personal bank account in any part of the world.
Meanwhile, after due scrutiny and verification, I confirmed that you have fulfilled all the necessary obligations that will enable the release of your funds to you, but yet your payment was not released to you due to some unspecified reason or the other from the Bank officials in charge of your payment, because they had the intention of diverting your funds to their private accounts in order to satisfy their selfish interest.
You are however lucky that we the management of the US Federal Reserve Bank detected their unusual activities and we intervened by ordering for the submission of your payment file to us so we can personally handle the payment assignment to ensure that you receive your funds accordingly.

Notes: Let's look at the red flags... email received from an academic domain in Thailand, I would have expected Jerome Powell to have an official Federal Reserve Bank email address. The e-mail is sent to many recipients and so each has been determined to be due US$50,000,000.00. Would there be enough money to pay everyone (usual scam compensation amounts are usually only 1-2 million dollars).
Reply to email address is the hotmail free email provider (now part of Outlook.com).
Bear in mind any information you provide to scammers can be used in future frauds against you and any digital copies of id documents such as passports, driving licences or identity cards can be sold on for future scamming and fraud activities.

The e-mail was automatically marked as spam, just delete.
