Scam Money Transfers - Banks, Bank Managers
Example - Samir Shamshoum, "ISREAL"
Have you received an email from an investor, "Samir Shamshoum"
from "ISREAL",
(yes, that is how he spelled it) who wants "to invest in your country"?
And it adds up to hundreds of thousands of dollars or even millions?
Odd, that he would think you are an investment firm...
We hate to be the bearers of bad news, but there is no Banking
Fairy who is going to email you to say they want to give you millions! It is a scam!
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.
