Fraud email example:
From: "Robert kerry" <robert.kerry2281@gmail.com>
Date: Thu, 5 Jun 2008 09:48:09 +0200
Subject: GET BACK TO ME AS SOON AS POSIBLE
Act immediately concerning your money,
I was sent here on off-shore inspection exercise with some bank officials, I
am directly responsible for rounding off and reporting on all abandoned
transactions over the years. I have just few days to do this.
Be informed that your file is on my desk and from the information in the
file, it has been resolved that you are the beneficiary of the funds but it
has not been transferred to you due to inadequate transfer arrangement. You
are hereby required to reply this email immediately,
carefully including detailed information with which the transfer should be
processed; I need your telephone numbers for more effective communication.
We apologize to you for the delay in this process.
Vital note: Avoid any representative that has been handling this transaction
for you in the past because the bank has noted some irregularities that may
cause the confiscating of your funds if you continue using your former
representatives here for the claims.
You are hereby advised and warned to stop communicating and working with
them at this point. Email me immediately so I help you through, feel free to
ask questions if you have any.
Sincerely,
Mr Robert Kerry.
