419 scam - ATM card payment scam

The "ATM card payment" scam usually shows up as part of another scam, such as a fake lottery or an "unpaid contractor" scam. You will be promised an ATM card via which you can withraw millions dollars (up to at several thousand dollars per day) at any bank worldwide, but first you need to send cash to have it mailed to you. If it arrives at all, it won't work (because there is no bank account, it's just a piece of plastic) and you'll be offered a replacement card, for a few thousand dollars more. Any money sent to the criminals by Western Union or MoneyGram is lost.

The following emails are part of an Advance Fee Scam. See our "419" fraud FAQ for more information on such scams.
