Email Fraud Alert received from: Spandau
I recently received an email with this subject line: From Baturai and I am concerned that it could be an attempt at defrauding me. Let me know in the comments section what you think, please.
The full contents of the suspected fraudulent (phishing / scamming) e-mail appear below:
My dear ,
I`m very sorry to bother you with my painful and sorrowful life
experience.My name is miss Baturai Sharifuddin,an African Syrian girl of 22
years who lost both parents in the hands of assassins hired by my
wicked African stepmother who wanted to kill me and my Syrian mother
for her and her sons to inherit my father wealth because my father was
a rich African gold dealer.Thank God that my beloved father told me
about the deposit he made with a bank here before he died with my
mother.
Please,contact me for details on how we can retrieve the deposit from
the bank into your private account,as my guardian because of
restrictions on me which i will let you know when you have promised me
of your sincerity.
Regards,
Baturai
