Forums - Don't Get Fooled By These Mails

Dear Sir/Madam,

Do accept my sincere apologies if my mail does not meet your personal Ethics.
I introduce myself as Liam a staff in the accounts management Section of
a well-known bank here in the United Kingdom.

One of our accounts with holding balance of Ł15,000,000(Fifteen Million
British Pounds) has been dormant and last operated in the past 3 years. From
my investigations and confirmations, the owner of this account is a Foreigner
by name Gerald Stone died on the 4th of January 2002 on a plane crash in
Birmingham here in UK.

Since then nobody has done anything as regards the claiming of this money
as he has no family Member who is aware of the existence of either the account
nor the Funds. Information from the National Immigration also states that
he was single on entry into the UK.

I have confidentially discussed this issue with some of the bank officials
and we have agreed to find a reliable foreign partner to deal with. We thus
propose to do business with you, standing in as the next of kin of these
funds from the deceased and funds released to you after due processes have
been followed.

This transaction is totally free of risk and troubles as the fund is
Legitimate
and does not originate from drug, money laundry, terrorism or any
other Illegal
act.

On your interest, let me hear from you.

Warm Regards,

Liam

Up to now it sound... just not totaly right...
Here is where it gets TOTALY out of hand:

At the bottom of the mail, it sais:

Internet za 333 Kc/mesíc
Tiscali Internet 24 hluboko pod cenami Telecomu!
http://internet24.tiscali.cz

now.. WHY would an english banker use a .cz mail?

LOL

Anyway; a quick glance at the mail-header reveals this as one of the more pathetic attempts to trick someone for money i've seen in a good while.

Most likely its beeing sent from a zombie/hijacked computer, and the IP won't give much in reality.

so be warned: do NEVER reply to ANY of these mails. NEVER.
It's a fraud, and it can get you into serious trouble. Both economic and physical.
