One of our readers sent us this story from the mess when she realized she was dealing with scammers. It is the IMF version of the scam that has been circulating for months.
In this case, the victim has to pay an agent, for a clearance certificate that the perpetrators want to issue. Of course, it is a scam, and of the worst kind.
Kristalina Georgieva has been robbed of her identity, and the supposed agent is probably already deceased. Wells Fargo Bank, informed by our reader, cannot explain how such a thing is possible. The agent’s tale leads to an account in Pennsylvania, but how and whether the person has anything to do with it is not clear.
There are also no financial agents at IMF headquarters.
The IMF has its accounts and would never transfer money to dubious persons.
It looks like it is a scam from Ghana. Don’t fall for it, the rule is never reply, never send documents.
Do not send any money, even if you receive a fake invoice. The perpetrators are smart, but their execution is dilutant. Move the mail to the digital ash bin.
