Scam Money Transfers: Jordan Louis, United Bank for Africa Bank Plc

Scam Money Transfers - Banks, Bank Managers
Example - Jordan Louis, United Bank for Africa Bank Plc

Have you received an email from "Jordan Louis" at "United Bank for Africa Bank Plc", 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? Notice the nice touch of providing links to the plane crash news stories, to give his scam more credibility.

And of course, 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".  If you would like a step by step explanation of how this type of "Advance Fee Fraud" works, click here! Note some of the obvious scam clues 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.
