BTMN Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Dear friend, I hope you receive this mail in good time. Permit me to introduce myself since we have not had any previous business correspondence in the past, my name is Paul Stanley, Head of Operations Allied Irish Bank, Dublin. Recently upon routine inspection I came across a dormant account that can linked to you. Before this, I would like to intimate you with some facts, in July of 2007, the Irish Bankers Association published a list of dormant accounts originally opened by non-Irish citizens in different banks in Ireland. In my department I came across this account that has the same surname with yours with the account holder who is now deceased. This account has been dormant for the past four (4) years with no possible record of the beneficiary. During my private investigation i discovered that you bear the same surname with the deceased customer hence had to inform you about this development. This process is completely legal and risk free, your role is to represent the deceased as beneficiary to the funds as the surviving relative and family heir. I shall facilitate the legal deeds to back the entire process up legally as the finance heard. The Claims Resolution Tribunal (CRT) handles processing of all claims on accounts due non-Irish citizens. Since I recently discovered that you bear the same surname with the deceased customer with no possible records, I am prepared to put you in a position to instruct my bank to make the transfer to any account of your choice as the beneficiary and surviving relative. The Claims Resolution Tribunal has mandated myself to report all unclaimed funds in my bank for permanent closure of accounts and transfer of existing credit balance into the treasury of Ireland government as provided by the law for management of assets of deceased beneficiaries who died intestate (living no wills) without records. It is based on this development that I make this contact with you. Your earliest response to this email will be highly appreciated. Kind regards, Paul Stanley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a.bandini Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I dated a woman whose sister actually fell for one of these Nigerian banking scams. I was incredulous. She was broke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueRedWhite Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 what i've found out is that the less "acquainted" with the internet security etiquette one is, the most likely he or she is to fall for these, more or less elaborated scams.Some people's only concern with their machines is how to get on the internet...no firewall no antivirus, nothing... plus they are Admins users on their machines..which make the job easier for hackers or viruses.I've always found it healthy to install a normal user for browsing and an Administrator user for installing stuff on machines whose owners are not very familiar with security.Yes, it's a bit drastic, but it beast the hell out of format c: or worst..Nonetheless, scams become more and more sophisticated, so even i i'm careful, i have a few email addresses and one of them is strictly for publicity and junk stuffPlus, on my emails settings, i only allow email on my Inbox of known friends, the rest goes to junk and then i go through it if needed.

cynic Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 We keep getting phone calls from "Microsoft Maintenance" and they just want to help us fix some mysterious problem with our computer. It seems it's sending error codes to their servers when it boots up, and they just want to help me... for free too! Nice of them guyz. I got that call. Guy gave me a number and told me where to find it on my system, as "proof" he was legit. For the life of me I couldn't find it. He tried walking me thru it several times, and I just couldn't figure out where he wanted me to go. Finally, I asked him what version of the operating system he showed me using. He said Windows 7. "Aahhhhh" i told him...."that's the problem, I actually use OS X 10.7 and don't even own a windows machine." He hung up on me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
