Email Fraud Alert received from: Colleen
I recently received an email with this subject line: I have good news for you 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:
Hello
I have good news for you.
Your long awaited package containing $15.5 Million is en-route your address.
It will be delivered via Diplomatic Armored Vehicle. The Diplomatic Armored Company has delegated an official to effect the delivery of the package to you.
So, you need to confirm the following information
1. Address where you want the package delivered to
2. Mobile Telephone Number.
The Telephone number is very important and but its essential that you provide a number that can receive and send text messages. It will be used to give the official delivering the package to you directions to the address you want the funds delivered.
So, provide the telephone & mobile numbers asap.
Regards,
David Louw
