Moore Lees

 

Fraud.

One out of five!

Dear Sir/Ma,

Please, I want to introduce myself and this business opportunity to you. My name is Mr Moore Lees, a Bank Accountant,I wish to know if we can work together.

I would like you to stand as the next of kin to my deceased customer who made a Fixed deposit of Seventeen Million United State Dollars (US$17,000,000) with our bank.

He died without any registered Next of Kin and as such the funds now have an open beneficiary mandate.

If you are interested please do let me know so that I can give you comprehensive details on what we are to do. I urgently hope to get your response as soon as possible.

Best regards,

Mr Moore Lees.

Important Notes :-

1. Whatever you do, do not respond to any e-mail like this. If you have given bank details to any fraudster like this, then inform your bank immediately and also make sure that you close the account.

2. If the e-mail mentions a well known e-mail address such as from gmail.com, live.com, yahoo.com etc., then why not forward the offending e-mail to abuse@gmail.com, abuse@live.com etc. Hopefully, they'll remove the e-mail address, which will stop people being sucked in.
