Phishing With Stolen Money
Here is an example of phishing I received. This isn’t really phishing in the official sense. It’s just a scam.
Perhaps you’ve received this also.
As usual I am offered a hugh sum of money if only I can lend myself to their scheme.
It wasn’t even addressed to me. Just “Undisclosed Recipients”. If they want to solicit my assistance, they could at least use my name…
Notice the poor use of the English language. These guys just don’t get it.
Usually they will tell you the money has come from an estate. If I understand this one correctly the money is stole, “…I was able to divert 1.2%…”.
I am sorry for using this medium of communication in contacting you, but be informed that it is based on the urgent nature of this deal that I am about to present to you now for your consideration.
First, it will be my great pleasure to introduce myself to you. I am Mr. Leslie Thomas, native of England and the executive fund Manager with capital investment limited, BD15ZG, Bradford, UK and I handle all our Investors Capital Project Funds.
I was able to divert 1.2% investors Excess Return Capital Funds to our capital Trust Funds Account whereby I can easily present anyone of my choice to claim the funds. On this note, the total sum of 4.5 Million GBP has been diverted representing the 1.2% Excess Return Capital Funds from the Investors Capital Project Funds for 2006/2007.
I need a reliable and trustworthy person that can work this deal out with me so that we can claim the funds as mentioned above. There is no risk attached and the funds in question can never be detected or traced. Our sharing ratio is 50:50. If you are interested, kindly reply back to enable me provide you with in further details on how we shall proceed to realize the transaction.
Sincerely,
Mr. Leslie Thomas”
Does anyone ever fall for these? I hope not…
