14 January 2008Bank error in your favor, collect $200That Community Chest card is slightly more likely than this email received yesterday:
The Bank of New York and the World Bank had earlier transferred fund to our Bank (Barclays PLC) last month. They disclosed that this fund was recovered as "Traced Fund" belonging to the (holder of this e-mail address) and we have been directed to contact you in this regard.
I am not in the position to disclose the amount here for security reasons. But I think you will have to make this inquiry for yourself. Please verify the amount in which you were previously expecting and reconfirm your banking coordinate as well. Send your e-mail and the copy of your International Passport to Mr. Pyle Michael Lee — director of Operation. Unlike most phishing expeditions, this one has no obscured or dubious Web addresses, though I suspect that the email addresses for the sender and for the "director of Operation" don't go anywhere near Barclays. Bunch of wankers. Addendum: This afternoon someone from the World Bank dropped by to see who was using their name in vain. Posted at 11:29 AM to Scams and Spams |
