Email Fraud Alert received from: Russel
I recently received an email with this subject line: Second Letter (Last Notice) 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:
Dear Beneficiary,
THIS IS FOR YOUR ATTENTION.
We wish to notify you again that you were listed as a beneficiary to the total sum of ?48,500,000.00 Million (Forty Eight Million Five Hundred Thousand Euros) in the codicil and last testament of the deceased. (Name now withheld since this is our second letter to you).
We contacted you because you bear the surname identity and therefore can present you as the beneficiary to the inheritance. We therefore reckoned that you could receive these funds as you are qualified by your name identity. All the legal papers will be processed in your acceptance.
In your acceptance of this deal, we request that you kindly forward to us your letter of acceptance; your current telephone and fax numbers and a forwarding address to enable us file necessary documents at our high court probate division for the release of this sum of money.
Please contact me on this address: romie.tager01@inbox.lv for further details.
Yours Faithfully,
Mr. Romie Tager.

I, Russel, have the following thoughts/comments on this suspected fraudulent email message from “Romie Tager”:
oooh Ronnie what will happen if I don’t respond this time? Will you have a hissy fit? Will you threaten me? Will you write again and withhold YOUR name this time? The suspense is killing me.
