Rev. Edward James Olmos (Scam Alert)

Posted on by

This message, now circulating on the web, is a jumble of all kinds of different scams all rolled up into one. It’s basic approach is reverse psychology: We know you were promised money before, and never got it. But that wasn’t a scam, we promise! We were just having management problems, you see, but now everything’s OK and your money is ready. It doesn’t seem to matter whether you were supposed to get a lottery payment, or an inheritance, or a Western Union transfer — no matter what money you were owed, we have it ready for you:

Keith Franklin, Chevron Export Manager

This is an example of a typical business scam message: someone needs your help in skimming a little money from a legitimate business, and promises to cut you in on the deal. There may be an actual person named “Keith Franklin” who works at Chevron — we don’t know. If there is, he certainly has nothing to do with this scam: scammers routinely steal the names of real people to give their messages a feeling of legitimacy:

Hello

Thank you so much for your anticipated prompt reply; As the export manager of Chevron Petrochemicals, my colleagues and I agreed to privately supply few barrels of chemicals in order to increase our income as breadwinners. We have instructed the buyer to direct payments to our representative because receiving such payments in our account will raise eyebrow, knowing-fully-well that we are still in active services in Chevron. The amount involved is seven hundred and eighty five thousand dollars US$785,000 only, and we have agreed that you will take 30% of the total amount for your anticipated assistance, while you keep the remaining 70% for my colleagues and I.

We intend keeping you as our newly appointed representative because the forma representative made away with one million dollars after much we trusted him; however, we strongly believe that you will be genuine and straightforward with us especially now that we have private buyers to supply huge chemicals. Note that our partnership with you is purely genuine and there is no risk involved because we are licensed exporters, hence we seek your understanding to treat our transactions privately with utmost honesty, it may interest you to know that our lawyer will legalize the necessary representative authorization approval to enable you receive supply payments legally.

Kindly provide your complete personal details such as; your full name, nature of business, complete address, direct phone number, your age, and marital status. We shall officially authenticate your details as international representative to enable our buyers direct supply payments to you at ease.

Respectively,

Keith M. Franklin
Chevron Export Manager
British Citizen

Remember: This isn’t an offer to get involved in scamming the Chevron Corporation. The people sending these messages don’t have anything to do with Chevron, they don’t work there, and they don’t have any extra barrels of chemicals to deliver. The whole thing is completely made up from beginning to end. Study our resources here at ScamHunter.org to understand how advance fee frauds like this work, and you’ll know how to avoid them in the future.
