  • Phishing scam Email.

    I thought this might give you a laugh and act as a warning, I received this today.

    Greetings to you !

    I did a lot of searching and prayers before choosing your contact from your country’s website / business online register. It is with trust and sincerity that I approach you for assistance to transfer some funds into your foreign bank account. Please do accept my apologies if my mail does not meet your personal ethics. I want to introduce myself and this business opportunity to you. My name is Mr. Richard James, A Private Accountant based in London. Honestly it will be my humble pleasure if we can work together.

    I would like you to stand as the next of kin to my deceased client who made a deposit of US$6 Million (Six Million U. S Dollars Only) with a bank here in London few years back. He died in an auto crash with his wife and only child without any registered next of kin and as such the funds now have an open beneficiary mandate with a reputable Bank here in London which means that any person from your country can stand as the next of kin of the deceased person for claiming the inheritance funds without any risk involved. If you are interested in this kind of this transactions, Please do let me know immediately so that I can give you comprehensive details on what we are to do next. I urgently hope to get your response as soon as possible. email me [edited] sorry Happy poss DOS issue
    Regards,
    Mr. Richard James,
    From London UK.

    Just another example of the scams out there nowadays

    Although this is a typical 'Advance Fee Fraud Scam' and not a Phishing Scam

    The phishing scams are were they pretend to be your online banking or payapl etc and try and trick you into entering your details in the bekief that you are logging into your online account
