Scam Money Transfers - Banks, Bank Managers
Example - David Jackson, PruPIM ("one of the leading real estate investment managers in the United Kingdom")
Have you received an email from a bank official, "David Jackson" at "PruPIM ("one of the leading real estate investment managers in the United Kingdom")",
claiming that he has a deal to make a fortune and he needs you, a foreigner to help him.
Yes, and if you think that someone is going to trust a total strange to a
fortune, then you obviously also must believe in the tooth fairy.
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.
