Lottery Scam: Shell Petroleum Development Company
- 6-14-2009
- Categorized in: Lottery Scam, Most Commented
That is typical, lottery scam bullshit. There is no such lottery scam from Shell. All the names and stories used in the email are fake.
Never send any money to these scammers. The scam is all about "paying money to get money, and you will never get your money!"

Kindly be informed that Under the enabling act of parliament, diplomatic courier delivery has to be insured by the Nigerian insurance ministry before been dispatched by courier delivery.
This company declined reverse payment for these charges, stating that it is against their professional policy towards ensuring the safe delivery of the cheque to you. That if a reverse payment is made, and something goes wrong, that we/you cannot sue the courier company or insurance company to recover the full value of the fund as stipulated in the cheque since payment for insurance cover was not made at point of mailing. With the above reason, reverse payment is ruled out. which makes it absolutely necessary to produce the courier fee before courier can dispatch delivery.
Note: That your prize is protected by a hardcover insurance policy, which makes it impossible to deduct any amount from the money before it has been remitted to you. This means that the above charges cannot be deducted from the prize and hence must be provided by you before your cheque is sent to you. This is in accordance with section 13(1)(n) of the international gambling act as adopted in 1993 and amended on 3RD July 1996 by the constitutional assembly. This is to protect recipients and to avoid misappropriation of funds.
( NOTICE ): If after the payment for insurance and delivery is made, and you are no longer interested in claiming you winning funds, we will have to refund back the exact amount you have paid to you in any manner you will prefer.
