Fraud email example:
From: "Mrs. Roseline Clark." <roselineclark1@yahoo.ca> (may be fake)
Date: Tue, 6 Feb 2007 12:14:12 +0000
Subject: REMITTANCE DIRECTOR.
Attention:
I know you don't know me in person, however i am Mrs. Roseline Clark,
i am working as a remittance director in a Bank here in Canada. Be
informed that you where trying to help one of your partner in transferring
of his fund to your country, but you could not, and later your partner
contacted a God fearing person that assisted him here in Canada to
receive the fund into his account. For your information, your partner
contacted him and inform him to send you the sum of $550,000 for your past
assistance, so i am writing you this mail only to confirm from you if
you wish us to transfer the $550,000 directly to you by wire transfer, or
if you wish we can still send you a cheque of $550,000 that will enable
you to receive the fund without any problem.
So please after reading my mail try and get back to me with your full
Banking information where the fund will be transferred to, or your full
resident address where i am going to mail the cheque of $550,000 to. As
soon as you receive my mail do not fail to include your direct
telephone number on your mail, so i can be calling you.
Best Regards,
Mrs. Roseline Clark
