Scam Money Transfers - Banks, Bank Managers
Example - Mr Thompson Rowe, NatWest Bank Plc, London-UK
Have you received an email from "Mr Thompson Rowe" at "NatWest Bank Plc,
London-UK", claiming that he has found money from a deceased customer from a
plane crash 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".
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 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.
Scam email:
P.O.BOX 3038,
57 VICTORIA STREET,
LONDON SW1H,
UNITED KINGDOM
Dear Friend,
Please accept my sincere apologizes if my email does not meet your business or personal ethics. I will first introduce myself as MR. THOMPSON
ROWE, the Chief Auditor with NATWEST BANK PLC, LONDON-UK.
One of our accounts, with holding balance of £12.500,000,000 (Twelve
Million Five Hundred thousand pounds Sterling) has been dormant and last
operated for years ago. From my investigations, the owner of the said
account,Is a foreigner by
name MR. JOHN SHUMEJDA who died along with his entire family in crash at
Birmingham Airport on 4th Jan,2002. View this website for verification
http://www.cwn.org.uk/business/a-z/a/agco/2002/01/020104-air-crash.htm
Since then, nobody has done anything as regards the claiming of this money, as he has no family member that has any knowledge as to the
existence of either the account or the funds; I have confidently discussed
this issue with some of the bank officials and we have agreed to find a
reliable foreign partner to deal with. My proposition to you, is to seek
your consent to present you as the Next of kin and beneficiary of this
late client, so that the proceeds of this account valued a huge sum shall
be paid to you, and then we can share the amount on a mutually agreed
percentage of 30% for you,While 60% for me and others involved, 10% shall
be used for miscelenious expenses while the remainder shall be given to a
reputable charity home because the money is owned by a deceased person.
This transaction is totally free of risk and troubles as the fund is
legitimate and does not originate from drug, money laundry, terrorism or
any other illegal act, funds will be released to you after necessary
processes have been followed.
Let me hear from you as soon as you get this message, so we can proceed.
Sincerely Yours,
Mr Thompson Rowe.
