The writer has spun a story about my prize money which he has put into
his personal account in Nigeria. He even tells me not to pay more than
320 USD he has quoted. I wonder how he gets around that?

With this story, they start off by saying you get the cash card if you pay a “reactivation” fee of 135 US Dollars. Now I’ve seen that somewhere before.

Oh yes, it was the 135 US Dollar shipment fee for FEDEX.

Now this one is really interesting. Why would would anyone want to cash in a bank draft and deposit the money with a parcel express company?

(Does he mean UPS?)

At the best, this is a very dubious story.

Rur Uar? Now that is a very unusual name.

If there really is such a name, us humble Europeans would have a hard time trying to guess where it comes from.

The story he’s telling is the one with Global Max Couriers. Remember that one?

I don’t believe he’s in Germany, but it sounds good doesn’t it?
