Dear Team
I got this mail from that mail address – [email protected] .
They asked me to transfer my wages if i give 100 USD deposit for PIN withdraw.
So I would like to request that they are scam or not.
Their mails are below-
Dear,
This is to inform you that your deposit has been received in less than 24hours. Your fund will be sent to your Account, which requires an online ”WITHDRAWALTRANSFER PIN” which cost a refundable sum of $100
Usually the pin comes after Worker’s must have received their funds but the system software update requires that the pin should be used for transfer.
WE ADVICE THAT PIN SHOULD BE PAID FOR AS SOON AS POSSIBLE FOR WITHDRAWALS.
TOTAL PAYMENT PROFIT:$5,950.00
NOTE: YOUR INCOMING DEPOSIT WILL BE ADDED TO YOUR INCOMING WITHDRAWALS 24 HOUR’S AFTER DEPOSIT HAS BEEN MADE.
Ensure your deposit is made within the next (24 hours) in order to avoid complications in allocating your total Payment
