Type of a scam Government Grant
This person named Peter called twice and told me my name and number were drawn for a government grant. They then proceeded to tell me that it would be at no cost to me. I informed them I was not interested and I would like to be removed from their calling list. He persisted that he wanted to know why I was not interested and I just told him I wasn’t. I knew that it was a scam and I just wanted them to quit calling me. He then started calling me obscene names and hung up on me.

Received email that read as:
Hello there, My name is Peter Danher Den, I am a native of South Sudan in North Eastern Africa, but presently lives in exile in South Africa due to the recent political crisis that engulf the country. I was a junior Cabinet Director at the Ministry of Petroleum and Mining but got my post through a senior political associate who has also fallen out with the present regime in South Sudan. During my term as a political appointee, I made substantial income through a number of business transactions involving tenders and bids for the exploration rights to some solid mineral resources in various parts of the country.
I am now willing to invest the funds in question privately through a reliable investor and trustee. On the acceptance to receive the funds as investment loan / capital, we will draft a mutual agreement and MOU to finalise the business association. However I prefer to remain a silent partner/investor as I do not want to be directly involved in the day-to-day running of the likely venture and projects the funds may be invested into.
Please note that all information pertaining to this proposal remain strictly confidential until a formal acceptance of this offer. I have been having problems with my email address so please ONLY reply to my secure email address listed below: [email protected]
I am looking forward to receiving your favourable response on my secure email address: [email protected]
Sincerely,
P D Deng
