Thank you for contacting Keystone Securities.in our previous message, you were informed that an e-saver account was opened for you for the purpose of investment and you were provided with the account information.

If you successfully transfer money from you "short term deposit account" to your "e-saver account", and you want to transfer money from your "e-saver account" to your bank account in the United States, you will only pay the cost of transfer fee. The cost of transfer fee is not constant, it is determined by the amount of money you are transferring.

It will be wise of you transfer your lottery winnings (£ 1,500, 000.00 GBP) to your e-saver account and then transfer the money from your e-saver account to your bank account in the United States. Although this will amount to double charges because if you decide to transfer your entire lottery winnings (£ 1,500, 000.00 GBP) directly to your bank account in the United States, you will only be charged once for the cost of transfer.

However, if you transfer your lottery winnings (£ 1,500, 000.00 GBP) to your e-saver account and then attempt to transfer money from your e-saver account to your bank account in the United States, you will be charged cost of transfer. But, the advantage of transferring the money from your e-saver account is that any charge/fee can be deducted from your e-saver account because the money in your e-saver account is no longer controlled or governed by policies of the British Gaming Board and the International Association of Gaming Regulators (IAGR).

At the moment, your attempt to transfer £ 639,644.29 GBP ($1,000, 000.00 USD) to your e-saver account was unsuccessful because you are required to pay a transfer fee of £ 2,259.00 GBP. If you pay this fee and you are given the code that will enable you complete the transfer to your e-saver account, you can begin to transfer money from your e-saver account to your bank account in the United Sates and any other fee/charge will be deducted from your e-saver account.

Thank you for contacting Keystone Securities. As i explained to you in my previous message, i can pay the transfer fee for you over here. But i need the money to travel to Germany on Thursday. If i am able to pay the transfer fee today and you are able to complete the transfer online, money will be available in your e-saver account after 72 working hours.

I have filed for the transfer code on your behalf and when i pay the transfer fee, the code will be issued immediately and i will send it to you so that you can transfer the money to your e-saver account as soon as possible.

Go to the Money Gram agent and ask for the money to be returned to you and you can give the money to your wife or a friend to send it to my doctor in Germany with this information:

Receiver Name: Okiemute Emakpor
Address: Essen, Germany.

Send the money via Money Gram but at a different location. It is important that you do not send the money yourself because your name has been flagged. I suggest you give it to a friend to help you with the transfer. Send a scanned copy of the Money Gram transfer receipt for confirmation.

Thank you for contacting Keystone Securities. We have received notification for the transfer of £ 856125.10 GBP to your bank (BBVA Compass) account in the United States. As you were informed in our previous messages, any payment/fee will be deducted from your e-saver account.

As with all online money transfer, you need transfer code (s) to complete the transfer online. However, because any payment/fee will be deducted from your e-saver account, you can use the same transfer codes that was issued to you when you transferred money from your short term deposit account to your e-saver account.

As you may know by now, transfer fee/charge depends on the amount of money being transferred. We will notify you of the respective fee (s) that will be deducted from your e-saver account upon confirmation of transfer.

We received two fax messages today regarding the transfer of £856.125.10 GBP from your E-saver account to your BBVA Compass account in the United States. According to the instructions received from the fax messages, we have been directed to put the transfer on hold indefinitely.

You are requested to contact the Inland Revenue Board to apply for terrorism and money laundering clearance certificates before your funds can be released. This directive is beyond this bank and we advice that you contact the Inland Revenue yourself.

Attached to this email are copies of the fax messages we received.

Dear Sir/Madam,
We have been authorized by the financial intelligence unit of the United Nations Organization, Antiterrorism
and Anti-money laundering department to take immediate possession of the £1,500, 000.00
GBP in Keystone Securities E-saver account number 22001943 operated by Mr. Name
All transaction on this account should be immediately put on HOLD pending compliance with the
directive of the United Nations. We advice that you contact Mr Name to apply for the
respective certificates through the Inland Revenue Board.

Thank you for contacting the Inland Revenue Board. It is true that we sent messages to Keystone Securities Ltd to stop the transfer of £856.125.10 GBP from your Keystone Securities E-saver account to your BBVA Compass account in the United States.

We have also been ordered by the financial intelligence unit of the United Nations to take immediate possession of the £1,500, 000.00 GBP in your Keystone Securities E-saver account number 22001943. As you know by now, the reason for this is because your funds were not cleared by the regulatory agency; United Nations Organization, Anti-money laundering/Anti-terrorism department.

To the credit of Keystone Securities, they sent the "clear source of funds certificate" to the financial intelligence unit of the United Nations immediately the transfer was initiated. However, new regulations require that money transfer in excess of $1,000, 000.00 USD (One Million United States Dollars) or its equivalent in any currency within the US/EU must be cleared by the United Nations Organization, Anti-money laundering/Anti-terrorism department.

Application for both certificates is through the Inland Revenue Board and that is why you were instructed to contact us. As indicated by the United Nations, the Anti-money laundering certificate costs £9,473.87 GBP and £17,868.00 GBP for the Anti-terrorism clearance certificate. Both certificates will cost a total of £27,341.87 GBP which should be paid to the Inland Revenue Board.

As soon as the Inland Revenue Board receives payment for both certificates, we will contact the financial intelligence unit of the United Nations to apply for the required certificates. Previous applications took between 2-3 working days before the certificates were issued.

Thank you for contacting Keystone Securities. We have contacted the Inland Revenue Board regarding your situation and they informed us that we cannot deduct the fee (£27,341.87 GBP) for the certificates from your E-saver account because they have received an order from the financial intelligence unit to confiscate the money in your E-saver account.

The financial intelligence unit oversees banking activities in the UK and Keystone Securities cannot go against their order. We thought all that was needed for the transfer of your money was a clear source of funds certificate which we provided to the financial intelligence unit when you initiated the transfer of £856,125.10 GBP to your bank account in the United States.

The transfer of £856,125.10 GBP to your bank account in the United States has been canceled in compliance with the order from the United Nations Organizations Anti-terrorism/Money Laundering department through the financial intelligence unit.

Our advice is that you contact Gary Lusk of the Inland Revenue Board to apply for the certificates so that your money can be transferred to your bank account in the United States as soon as possible; because money in your E-saver account is taxable after 30 days. So, avoid double payment by applying for the requested certificates as soon as possible.

Christopher Peters

Thank you for contacting this office. We are aware that you won £1,500, 000.00 GBP from Mega Lottery Promotion as indicated in the "clear source of funds certificate" that was sent to the financial intelligence unit when you initiated the transfer of £856,125.10 GBP to your bank account in the United States.

Be informed that the fee for the Anti-terrorism and Anti-money laundering certificates are paid to the United Nations Organization through the financial intelligence unit. Our role at the Inland Revenue Board is to apply for these certificates on your behalf after payment is made by you for the certificates and also to take "temporary possession" of the £1,500, 000.00 GBP in your E-saver account at Keystone Securities Ltd.

It is unfortunate that the fee (£27,341.87 GBP) cannot be deducted from your E-saver account because at the moment, the money in your E-saver account now "temporarily belongs to the government of the United Kingdom"; pending compliance with the order from the United Nations to apply for the respective certificates.

From past experiences, I will personally advise that you apply for the certificates as soon as possible because after 10 working days, the government will begin to calculate taxes on your seized money (£1,500, 000.00 GBP). I am telling you this because i understand what you have been through borrowing money to pay for the transfer of £1,500, 000.00 GBP to the E-saver account.

Thank you for contacting Keystone Securities Ltd. The reason for moving £1,500, 000.00 GBP from your short term deposit account to your E-saver account was to avoid taxation and also because you wanted to invest in real estate. You were advised to move the money from your short term deposit account to your E-saver account because the money in that account (short term deposit account) was protected by the British Gaming Board and the International Association of Gaming Regulators (IAGR). However, if you had transferred money from your short term deposit account to your bank account in the United States, any fee/charge would have been paid by you since there was no way we would have been able to deduct such fee/charge from your short term deposit account due to the policy of British Gaming Board and the International Association of Gaming Regulators (IAGR).

As you were informed in our previous message, the financial intelligence unit has ordered the Inland Revenue Board to take temporary possession of the £1,500, 000.00 GBP in your E-saver account and in compliance with the order from the United Nations Organization Anti-terrorism/Money laundering department through the financial intelligence unit, we have canceled the transfer of £856,125.10 GBP to your bank account in the United States.

If the balance in your E-saver account is £0.00 GBP, it does not mean that you never had £1,500, 000.00 GBP in the account, it means that you cannot transfer any money from the account because the Inland Revenue Board has taken temporary possession of the account pending your compliance with the request of the United Nations Organization to get requested clearance certificates. You have the transaction notification email to prove that there was a transfer of £1,500, 000.00 GBP to your E-saver account on Monday, July 16.

Attached to this message is a copy of your bank account statement that was sent to financial intelligence unit on Tuesday, July 17 when you initiated the transfer of £856,125.10 GBP to your bank account in the United States. It is unfortunate that you are having this problem. You can act fast and avoid taxation by applying for the certificates as soon as possible because it won't be fair if you are requested to pay tax after paying £27,341.87 GBP for the certificates. I guess the tax will be deducted from your account because after paying £27,341.87 GBP for the certificates, the £1,500, 000.00 GBP will be released to your E-saver account. But you can avoid tax by applying for the certificates as soon as possible.

Thank you for contacting this office. The United Nations Organization headquarters is in New York, United States. All United Nations document comes with their headquarters address. Raul Rodriguez is the director of the anti-terrorism/money laundering department at the UK Regional Office and not in New York.

A very sophisticated operation looks very authentic... You should never have to pay for winnings.
