Fraudsters that run lottery scams and 419 scams usually promise millions to potential victims. However, security expert Conrad Longmore has spotted one scam email that will probably not make too many victims.

Entitled “Attention please,” the emails read something like this:

“We have registered your ATM CARD of (US $2.5) with DHL Express Courier Company with registration code of ( 9665776) please Contact with your delivery information:

DHL OFFICE: Name Dr:Mark Jonson. E-mail: [email protected] //officedhldelivery service Tel:+229 98270349.

We have paid for the Insurance & Delivery fee. The only fee you have to pay is their Security fee only. Please indicate the registration Number of ( 22-82797457 ) and ask Him how much is their Security fee so that you can pay it.

Best Regards. Rev. Anthony Fred”

As you can clearly see, the scammers are not even trying too hard. There’s no good story and the good reverend is only offering $2.5 (€1,9) – he probably forgot to add the word “million.”
