Scam Money Transfers
Example - Dr. George James, Mr. Michael Larry
"Compliment Of The Season"
Did you receive an email from a "Dr. George James who wants "to compensate you with that amount for all your past efforts and attempts to assist me in this matter" Just
contact "Mr. Michael Larry".
It's the usual "over-invoiced account" scam!
"Dr. George James only wants you to help them defraud the customer, that's all.
Even if this were all true, you would be committing several
felonies and would end up in prison. In reality, it is all a scam.
Dr. George James (not his real name, obviously) hopes to con you into sending money for various "fees" to free the fortune.
