I, Jacob, have the following thoughts/comments on this suspected fraudulent email message from “Morris Hens”:
I have no idea of who you are Dippy Old Boy, neither am I expecting a parcel, neither am I travelling all the way to fetch a parcel in Johannesburg from you.
If you travelled all the way from London the least you can do is travel another 800 kilometres or so and deliver this valuable parcel to my door.
By the way my home is the one with vicious attack dogs, armed guards and gun traps.
GOOD LUCK.
In addition, I can only find a Nason Group of Companies in Canada (not Germany) and I sincerely doubt that the Nason Contracting Group, a Western Canadian based multi-discipline construction company specialising in the construction and servicing of water and wastewater treatment and pumping facilities, will need the services of a DIPLOMAT as stated on your poorly executed “Company ID”.
