I, Eve, have the following thoughts/comments on this suspected fraudulent email message from “Dr Marchall-mrhilbertdavid1@gmail.com”:
This message is directed to you based on the letter Office of Mr. Nhlanhla Musa Nene, the incumbent
(Minister of Finance) Republic of South Africa received from the International Monetary Funds Agency
(I.M.F) and the World Summit meeting headed last regarding the settlement of all Winning/ Inheritance
funds to the Beneficiaries.
Now, we have actually been authorized by Mr. Nhlanhla Musa Nene, the Honorable (Minister of
Finance) Republic of South Africa and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) secretary general to
contact you for your overdue payment. This is the third time your Payment file has come to my table,
and every time an Executive Order comes from the government ordering that your fund should be
recalled back to the World Bank Escrow account, without any genuine reason. Meanwhile, our
Payment Settlement System (PSS) has received another permanent Authority/Irrevocable
Release/Unconditional payments guarantee by the Honorable Minister of Finance, Mr. Nhlanhla Musa
