Fraud email example:
From: "BARCLAYS BANK UK" <davidroberts-1@scottishmail.co.uk> (may be fake)
Date: Tue, 5 Oct 2004 04:11:25 -0700
Subject: BARCLAYS BANK UK.
Dear sir/Madam,
My name is David Roberts, the Chief Executive of
Personal Financial Services of the Barclays Group with
head office at 54 Lombard street, London EC3P 3AH.
I am writing this letter to solicit for your support
and assistance to carry out a project concerning a
late customer of the bank by name Dr. Victor Morgan,
an oil magnet and philanthropist who died on the 14th
of June 2002 in the London Hospital after being
involved in fatal car crash which also claimed the life of his wife and two sons.
Lying in his inactive account in one of our branches
is the sum of Five Million United States Dollars
($5,000,000.00). Ever since he died the bank has
placed a stop on all transactions on this account
pending when his next of kin would come forward for
necessary actions, identification and collection.
Unfortunately from our investigations and
confirmations from his attorney he has no family
members who are aware of the existence of the money
and as such, we have decided to do business with you,
standing in as the beneficiary of this funds, and then
money will be released to you, after the due processes
have being followed.
Obviously we do not want this money to go into the
Bank Treasury cause the banking law and guideline
stipulates that if such funds remains unclaimed for 2
years, the money will be transferred into the Banks
Treasury as unclaimed debts.
This would not take too much time to get done as his
lawyer already has the necessary letters of
Administration and court orders from the British high
court which are part of the documents required by the
Barclays bank to process fund release approvals.
To do this work 65% of the money will be for our end,
30% will be you while 5% will be for any expenses
incurred during the transaction.
Please reach me on my private email at davidroberts1x1@yahoo.co.uk if you are
willing to do business with us.
Thanks and regards,
David Roberts.
