Fraud.

I really think that this one shouldn't full anybody, as it's badly spelt, comes to undisclosed recipients and uses a yahoo e-mail address.

Minus one out of five!

This is to inform you that you have been selected to stand as an appointed beneficiary to late customer's account with our bank, since there seems to be no immediate next of kin or relative coming forth to claim the account after his untimely death.

Before we proceed to have the account processed and transferred to you, Please indicate if you are willing and in a position to claim and receive the fund. As soon as you are ready, we shall have his attorney consent and the bank will act accordingly.

Contact me via my private E-mail-address: ezegoiv@yahoo.com

I will be Awaiting your response in the earliest. Thank you.

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.
