Email Fraud Alert received from: Xoliswa
I recently received an email with this subject line: Letter Of Intent!!! 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:
Attention: Beneficiary
I am Mr. Braunwalder Robert of I M F Head Office.
Your email appeared among the beneficiaries, who will receive a
part-payment of your contractual sum of $2.5 Million US Dollars and
has been approved already for months. You are requested to get back to
me for more direction and instruction on how to receive your
fund. However, we received an email from one Mrs. Virgie Brown who
told us that she is your next of kin and that you died in a car
accident last week. She has also submitted her account for us to
transfer the fund to her. We want to hear from you before we can make
the transfer to confirm if you are dead or not.
Please in confirmation that you are still alive, you are advised to
reconfirm the below listed information to enable us facilitate an
immediate payment for you.
1 Your full names
2 Your present contact address.
3 Your telephone & Fax numbers.
4 Your Occupations/age/sex.
5 Your Private E-mail Address.
Once again, I apologize to you on behalf of I M F (International
Monetary Funds) for failure to pay your funds in time, which according
to records in the system had been long overdue.
Thanks,
Mr. Braunwalder Robert.
