Default Ruff Tung Fashion

paul botha rufftungfashions@yahoo.com:

Hello,

We are happy to inform you that after a long process of screening and thorough scrutiny,you have finally been chosen to participate in our fashion show coming up in New York.

In a couple of days,you will receive a brochure which will contain all the details you need to know concerning the show as regards flight ticket and airport pickup arrangement,hotel accomodation information,insurance cover,times and schedule for rehersals,fashion form which you filled(signed and stamped for certification),ID access card.Note that you are to keep this safely as it will be required of you later in the future.

As we promised, your first installmental payment has arrived and should already be with you now.However,you would have noticed that the money orders sent to you was made out to the sum of $2550.00 .This was particularly done so that after deducting your $500 which is your part payment,you will send the balance of $2,050 to the travel and tours agency in Lagos, Nigeria who are responsible for arranging that everything concerning you is intact.

What I am trying to say in essence is that the money that you will send to the travel and tours agency is your registration money so that you can be part of the show.As the show is partly a charity event,we did not want you to use any of your own money for anything so we agreed in accordance with the sponsors to make sure that everything is paid for and hence,sent you the money so that you can pay it yourself.

HOW TO CASH THE CHEQUES:

You have been sent the total sum of $2550 .Immediately you receive the money orders,you will take it to your bank and cash immediately.

The reason why we sent you excess of $2550 is simply because we are recruiting you internationally and agreed with the sponsors to send you the whole money as a way of registering you with out travel and tours company for future jobs.

After deducting your income which is $500 ,you will immediately proceed to the nearest western union location and send the balance of $2,050 to our travel and tours representative with the following information as thus;

NAME KENECHUKWU IGWE
LOCATION LAGOS, NIGERIA
TEST QUESTION FOR WHAT
ANSWER FASHION SHOW

You will need to use a test question when sending money to the Nigeria for security reasons.
They will in turn give you a code of numbers called the money transfer control number(MTCN) which you will give to me via email to enable pick up of the money.In otherwords,information being expected of you is ;

SENDERS NAME (which is your name)
SENDERS ADDRESS
MTCN NUMBER
AMOUNT SENT

This money being sent to the travel and tours company will be used to register you with us and also to prepare the brochure that will be sent to you.

I hope to hear back from you before the end of today.Take your business serious and remember,honesty and prudency pays.

Have a great day.


YOURS FAITHFULLY,
PAUL BOTHA,
RUFF TUNG FASHION,

just because you have recieved a check in the mail- even if its a bank check dosent mean its real. If you deposit the check- alert your bank in to the circumstances- always protect yourself with a paper trail. I would always assume a check like this is fake.
