Email Fraud Alert received from: Ivanca
I recently received an email with this subject line: IMPORTANT INFORMATION 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:
I am Mr. Jim Vos , I am an international fund payment manager with the Barclays bank, I saw your info on the computers of the international bank of settlements here in London, I looked deeply and found out that your fund was delayed due to the bankers that handled your payment were inexperienced in this sort of pay outs.
I can help you get this fund, am an expert in this sort of payments and I am a rated AA fund manager by European and American banks with a top record on payouts of this sort.
I discovered that the bank invested your fund without your consent in a high interest money program and it made a high profit of $2 million usd, I will start first by paying you the accrued interest your fund acquired during the high interest money program which is $2m usd..
If you will like me to proceed with the payment, I will like you to get back to me with your info and your contact phone numbers lets proceed.
I can have the fund moved to a south africa bank, then i will fly down to south africa and have the fund paid to you locally, i will like to personally handled the payment by myself, am an expart in this filed.
Thank you
Jim Vos.
International fund Manager
