Attention: Honorable,

On January Monday 2024 it was brought to the attention to the Detroit Division of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

The e-mail/letter claims to be an official “Guarantee of Payment” from SAC, Federal Bureau of Investigation. Recipients are told you are the beneficiary of this millions of dollars. In this case, the e-mail/letter claims “the International clamp down on Terrorist” has put a hold on the funds. Recipients are directed to send me the (ICIC) Clearance certificate, within a certain time frame, so the millions of dollars can be released into your bank account online.(Please provide the said ICIC Clearance document).

Additionally, in this particular funds transfer, a second e-mail/letter “100% Payment Guarantee” is attached using the letterhead of a legitimate financial institution. This e-mail/letter also uses the name of SAC Arena and language similar to the first letter.

The FBI does not send unsolicited e-mails/letters. Beneficiary should not respond to any unsolicited e-mails/letters requesting personal information for security reasons for your funds not to be diverted to another person bank account. It is imperative beneficiary guard their personally identifiable information. Providing such information will compromise your identity, Contact Mr. Tory Nixon, California Bank And Trust for your funds and get back to this office with update.

Anticipated Co-operation.

Mr. Christopher A. Wary.
FBI, Director.

Email #2, from Cameron:

Dear Mr. <PRESIDIO_ANONYMIZED_PERSON>,

Thank you for bringing this matter to my attention. I am relieved to know that the FBI is looking out for me and my potential inheritance. I have received the aforementioned "Guarantee of Payment" and "100% Payment Guarantee" emails, and I have been worried about the hold on the funds.

I appreciate your instructions to not respond to unsolicited emails and to guard my personal information. I will certainly keep that in mind.

Regarding your request for the ICIC Clearance certificate, I am happy to provide it to you as soon as possible. However, I am a bit confused about the process. Should I send it directly to you, or should I send it to Mr. Tory Nixon at California Bank and Trust first? I want to make sure I follow the correct procedure to ensure the release of the funds into my bank account.

Thank you for your anticipated cooperation and guidance in this matter.

Sincerely,

Cameron McCaffrey
