Nokia UK
SMS

Dear Sir / madam,

In Feb I recvd an SMS abt winning a large sum in GBP and later after arriving home in India, I followed it up and got a clarification mail after my details were supposed to have been verified.

A choice of despatch was given, to which I was replied that the winnings and a Nokia N95 can only be sent to me at UAE.

After may e-mails from me, and there being no response at all, even to phone calls, in June they agreed to send the winnings to me in India. So a sum of GBP450 was transferred by me to one SUSAN MILLER, UK by Western Union Transfer on 11th June (from Dubai Intl. Airport) and payment receipt too was received by e-mail.

Subsequently, on 13th Jun a so-called British Inland Revenue Service, Berkshire e-mail was received intimating me about my subject shipment from FedEx Express being stopped for payment of GBP 970 being tax from a non-Uk resident on personal winnings. This ref was queried from The UK Govt. Customs & taxs Deptt and confirmed as a fraud.

The following are the particulars of persons / so-called officers based in UK- who seem to be defrauding the International Mobile Users for their selfish gains:-

AA)."NOKIA MOBILE PROMO", Mr. Paul Richardson- Phone Numbers:- 447518952319 & 447045757280, and another connected Lady by name SUSAN MILLER;

Inland Revenue and the British tax investigation service are Authorized and Regulated by the Financial Services Authority. The Taxation and Revenue Department assesses certain types taxes. A tax is impose on winners, raffles, etc. almost everywhere, normally by the payment authority on behalf of the Government. In some cases, we receive a share of winners taxes imposed by the Government. However, In most cases, the tax takes the form of a permit fee. It is only classified as a tax in a few Governments/Countries. Non residential tax is the sole responsibility of the beneficiary. Income taxes deducted from source generally include direct federal tax, communal taxes, as well as, most of the time, church tax. As in the case of income tax, cantonal tax rates vary to a fairly large extent depending on the Locality.

Governmental tax scales for withholding tax and the corresponding regulations are available at the Government tax departments. The funds on a certified world bank cheque of 110, 000.00GBP (One hundred And Ten thousand Pounds Sterling) inside a parcel with an N95series Nokia mobile phone, with other relevant documents inclusive is now on Hold because we (Tax investigation service) noticed you are not a British citizen, so in this case you will have to pay a non residential fee before your parcel will be allowed to be shipped by FEDEX COURIER SERVICE HERE IN UK.

Therefore, the amount for the non residential tax is { 970 GBP } Pounds sterling which is equivalent to 6, 944.78 AED, and it is payable to the Account Officer of the FEDEX COURIER COMPANY GROUP PROMOTION DELIVERY DEPARTMENT, which will consequently make the necessary returns to the Tax Office as payment of Tax. Please note that a Tax receipt will be issued to you along with the Tax Payment. This will ensure that your funds are not Taxed again by any Tax Authority{e.g the IRS}.This parcel can only be sent to you if only you are cleared for BRITISH BOARD INLAND REVENUE TAX, and the only way you can be cleared is when you pay for Non residential tax fee.

A copy of this message will be forwarded to the NOKIA INC PROMOTION DEPT, And the Delivery Department. You are to make the payment of the Non-Residential Tax fee to the FEDEX COURIER COMPANY accounts Officer via Western Union Money Transfer.
