I have received a email telling that i have won a lottery. I was told to submit my detail. I did the same. Bank send me a form.
I have filled that form and then they demanded me extra money.
I think that was a fraud case . I only want to say this type of case should be check as they are really harmful for society.

From reading other reports on this sight I now feel secure in the knowledge that I am not the first person to have received fake bills from an FNB ATM. I drew money last month from an FNB ATM in Malelane Mpumalanga I still had R200 left in my wallet today when I went to the shops. I was shocked when the assistant would not let me use the note to pay for my purchase as she said it is fake and showed me the reasons.
I have spent the afternoon doing some research on the Net and see that it is a big problem at the moment with a lot of counterfeit money in circulation, but I would have thought a bank would have been more diligent with checking money before stoking their ATMs. I will just like to know what is being done about this matter, is FNB restocking ATMs with clean money or will it continue to hand over unusable bills but will not accept them in return.

ATTN: HABIYAMBERE DANIEL,

Country: Rwanda

We write to acknowledge you that we received your bank details therein, as stated by the British Microsoft Award Committee 2015 that prize fund of every beneficiary of programmer has been placed under Insurance Bond, that is to say that no one has the authority to break the rules and regulation that has been place even the bank can not go against the rule.

Secondly, note that this is a due process required from all the beneficiary of this promotion, be informed that you will have to pay (US$150) for the bank endorsement fee before we can transfer your winning fund of GBP£1, 000, 000.00 (One Million Great British Pounds Sterling) into your nominated bank account in (Rwanda).

The bank transfer endorsement fee is mandatory and non-negotiable. And note that this payment has to be made in order for the paying bank to remit your fund into your designated bank account which you have provided to this bank.

This is the only fee required so that the bank can transfer your winning fund into your nominated bank account in your country (Rwanda) with the account which you have provided to us.

Once again your winning fund has been insured and no one has the right to deduct or temper with your fund until it gets to your nominated bank account in (Rwanda).

Also view the attached file that was sent to you and also contact your claim agent (Mr. Sam Owen) to send across to you the details to make the payment because the payment will be made through his office and once we confirm your payment from him, we will transfer the fund immediately without delay into your bank account.
Thanks for your attention to this mail and understanding.

RECEIVER ADDRESS: 20A LAKE-VIEW ST.SANDTON, JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA.
TEST QUESTION: COLOUR
