Scam letter

Link to scam letter

This letter is from Emily Park, to anonymous. She got scammed in Africa two years ago. So she went to Washington D.C to the FBI to get her money back. Then she met Mrs. Maria Farnandez who is a representative of FBI and she got most of her money back. Now she is saying that we should contact Mrs. Maria Farnandez to get our money back if we got scammed.

Two reasons that this letter is a scam
1. Emily Park's email address is different. At the top, she wrote her email is 'annie@luckyconcord.com' and in the second sentence it says 'emilypark381@yahoo.com'
2. She is 66 years old currently. She can't be 64 when she got scammed because in the letter it said she flew to Washington D.C and it would be hard for her to fly and it would have took lots of time for her to write this letter as she might not be familiar with technology.

3 evidence
1. Grammar mistakes.
'She said whoever is contacting us through emails are fake that I should fly down to Nigeria to see things for myself which I did and she took me to the paying bank for the claim of my compensation payment.'


It's weird that she says this abruptly.
'Please contact Mrs. Maria Farnandez through her email address (mariafarnandez@katamail.com) or you can as well reach her on her telephone number which she gave to me directly (+234-9094654395)'
