Scam Money Transfers - Banks, Bank Managers
Example - Bill Joycee, BCF LONDON
Have you received an email from a bank official, "Bill Joycee" at "BCF LONDON",
claiming that he has found a "dormant account" or money from a deceased customer
with no next of kin, or no will, and he needs you, a foreigner to help him take
the money, to keep it from being turned over to the bank or government?
It is a scam. Even if it weren't a scam, it would be a felony,
fraud and theft. But it is all nonsense, a scam made up to get money from you.
See the example below, an actual email from the scammer, sent to a victim.
The scammer intends to to get hold of your money instead, by conning you into sending money for various "fees" to free the
"funds in escrow".

Note some of the obvious scam clues that we have
highlighted in the email below,
such as excessive/incorrect use of CAPITAL letters, terrible spelling, grammar
and punctuation, the use of free email accounts rather than a domain and website that
matches the company's name, etc.

With due respect to your person, I kindly wish to
ask for your attention and consideration just for a while.I know this is
certainly not the appropriate channel to contact you but situation
necessitated this medium.However,I am sincerely sorry for any inconveniency
this may cost you.

business opportunity to propose to you which would be of mutual benefit to
both parties if carefully executed.
I am the account officer and personal friend to
William Wise who died in the July 2004 London bomb blast. William Wise was a
good client of my bank,before he was killed in the 2004 London bomb blast;he
however has a deposit of Nine million two hundred thousand British
Pounds(9.2 Million GBP)with the bank and his family are not aware of this
particular account due to the perennial crisis in his marital life. As his
close confidant and an account officer,he warned me on the implication of
letting any member of his family have knowledge of his deposit with our
bank.
