Hi Ladyg, I'm not sure what other feedback you need, other than it's a 100% ATM card scam.
As per my request above, please post the full email that you received from the scammers, including the email addresses of all parties that you are in contact with.
You sound as though you want to believe that the $1.2 million dollars could possibly be real, sorry, but it's not, it doesn't exist, neither does the ATM card, and neither does Rev Mark Goodwill. What are they saying the £1.2 million is form, an inheritance, contract fund, lottery?
These ATM card scams done in the name of the CBN are very common, all the scammers want are for victims to pay the activation fees for the cards and the courier fees to get the ATM card sent to them, of course, the ATM card does not exist, neither does the money, that's just their way of getting advance fees from victims, hence why it is called
advance fee fraud!
The CBN does not issue ATM cards to people, the CBN does not hold monies from inheritances, lottery wins or contract payments, these are just things that scamemrs tell victims in their scam emails.
Here are some example of ATM scam emails where the CBN is supposedly issuing ATM cards to people:
