A scammer called from the phone number: 876 470 4481 , claiming to be a Fed Ex employee named Mr. Goodman. The scammer said he was trying to deliver a cashier's check for $ 450 000 and a widescreen TV that the person had won. The scammer wanted the person to pay $295 in fees through Western Union.
The phone number traces to Jamaica. Included below is an article from December of 2009 warning people about this type of scam, which appears to be targeting senior citizens in several countries. An internet search for "Jamaican Lottery scam" yields many other articles.
"OFT and SOCA warn of new Jamaican lottery scam"
http://www.oft.gov.uk/news-and-updates/ ... 009/142-09
The OFT and the Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA) are warning the public to be on their guard against a new Jamaican-based lottery scam which has already seen some UK residents lose thousands of pounds each.
Fraudulent telemarketers based in Jamaica are making unsolicited phone calls to consumers telling them they have won a sum of up to £2.5 million, in a lottery or sweepstake. The fraudsters often pretend to be lawyers, bank officials, customs officers or lottery representatives to try and convince consumers that their prize is genuine. However, to 'release' their winnings, victims are told they must send money to pay for taxes, processing fees, insurance or customs duties. Victims receive repeated calls for further money, and in some cases have suffered threats of violence, arrest and removal to Jamaica if they do not pay up.
The fraudsters have pressurised some elderly victims into sending off their entire life savings. The victim's money ends up in the hands of organised gangs and helps to fund other serious crime in Jamaica.
The fraudsters have also targeted consumers in other countries such as the United States where victims are estimated to have lost $30 million. In response, SOCA and the OFT are working with international law enforcement partners to tackle this and other types of mass marketed fraud.
Heather Clayton, OFT Senior Director, said:
'We know that Jamaican-based lottery fraudsters have actively targeted US consumers in the past but we are now beginning to see this emerge as a problem in the UK. What is despicable is that some victims have been threatened with violence to coerce them into handing over their life savings. A genuine lottery would never ask someone to pay taxes, insurance or any other fee before receiving their 'winnings'.'
Paul Evans, Director of Intervention at SOCA, said:
'There is no doubt that there are links between mass marketing fraud and other serious organised criminality, including drugs importation and threats of violence. Falling victim to mass marketing frauds is not something people bring on themselves. They are deliberately and ruthlessly targeted by organised criminal groups. The potential harm inflicted is not just financial, but physical and psychological. Law enforcement, advice groups, and the public all have a part to play in preventing these crimes.'

Good Day in the name of our lord Jesus Christ. I am Mrs. Josie Wilson, a 59 year old widow to late Dr. Nanu Wilson, from Ivory Coast. I am now a new Christian convert, suffering from long time cancer, and from all indications my condition is really deteriorating and it is quite obvious that I might not live up to 3 months, according to my doctors. This is because the cancer stage has gotten to a very bad stage. My late husband died last year, and during the period of our marriage we couldn't produce any child. My late husband was very wealthy and after his death, I inherited all his business and wealth; Based on the doctors reports that I might not live up to three months. My late husband family intentions to allow me die in this condition because I do not have a child, that what pushed me to source for a Godly person abroad who will make this claim of 4, Million Us dollars which we deposited in a security firm here in the Bank. I will give you all the information you will need to make this claim of this fund once I receive a positive response from you and also your assurance that you will not betray this confidence that I am reposing in you. I am doping this because my family are unbelievers and I will not allow them inherit this money for their own selfishness. I have come to find out that wealth acquisition without Jesus Christ is a vanity.
Remain blessed.
Your Sick Sister
Mrs. Josie Wilson.

Dear in the lord how are you doing today?
however is not mandatory nor will I in any manner compel you to honor
against your will. I am Mrs Ruth Roberto from Republic of France.
I married to Mr.Roberto Thomas from Republic of Cote d'Ivoire who
worked with France Embassy here in Cote d’Ivoire for nine years before
he died in the year 2017.
Before his death we were both born again Christian. Since his death I
decided not to remarry or get a child outside my matrimonial home
which the Bible is against.
When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of $2,900,000.00
Million in a bank.
Recently, my DOCTOR told me that I would not last for the next Eight
months due to cancer problem. Having known my condition I decided to
donate this fund to an Orphanage or good organization that will utilize
this money the way I am going to instruct here in.
I want a Church organization or good person that will use this fund
for orphanages, widows, propagating the word of God and to endeavor
that the house of God is maintained.
I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit
this money and my husband relatives are not Christians not even good
at all because they are the one that killed my husband in other to
have all my late husband properties and This is why I am making this
decision. I am not afraid of death hence
I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bosom of
the Lord.Exodus 14 VS 14 says that "the lord will fight my case and I
shall hold my peace".
With God all things are possible.
As soon as I receive your message regarding your interest in this fund
to help the charity home and the fewer privileges, I will give you
more details about this fund.
God bless you while I'm waiting for your answer.
Your sister.
Mrs. Ruth Roberto

419 scam
Dear in Christ,
With all respect and humanity, I was forced to write on humanitarian
field. I am Mrs. Bernita Johnson a widow, who is aging long term ill
(cancer). I am currently admitted to a private hospital.
I have some assets that I inherited from my late husband, Mr. Martines
Johnson, who later died in a car accident. When my husband was alive,
He made a deposit of EUR 8,600,000.00 to the bank (Eight Million Six
Hundred Thousand Euros). Currently this money is still in the bank.
The doctor told me, that I will not last for more than one month due
to cancer problems.
I need someone who is very honest and wealthy and an organization that
can spend these funds on God’s work to help the poor and the needy. My
late husband taught that this fund should be used for charitable
purposes such as building schools, houses orphanages, hospitals, etc.
I made that decision because I don't have any child that will inherit
this fund and want God to have mercy on me and receive my soul. With
God all things are possible. Please, please, if you could use these
funds for God's work.
I want you to send me the following information listed below.
Your full name
Your country
Your address
Your age
Your occupation
Your phone number
As soon as I receive your reply, I will manage and process a
certificate of affidavit in your name so that you will be legally
approve as the new beneficiary to the fund,
I hope to receive your reply.
Stay blessed in the Lord.
Thank you
Mrs. Bernita Johnson.
