Dear Sir/Madam,
RE: BANK INSTRUCTIONS TO CREDIT YOUR ACCOUNT WITH THE SUM OF US$850,000.00
We at this bank wish to congratulate and inform you that after thorough review of your Inheritance/Contract funds transfer release documents in conjunction with the World Bank and the International Remittance Division assessment report, your payment file was forwarded to us for immediate transfer of a part-payment US$850,000.00 to your designated bank account from their offshore account with us.
The Auditor's reports forwarded to us shows that you have been going through hard times to see to the release of your funds, which has been delayed by some dubious officials. We therefore advice that you stop further communication with any correspondence outside this office since you do not have to pay any money or fee to receive your funds. The only thing required from you is to obtain the Non-Residential Clearance Form to enable us to credit your account directly, and to send copies of the funds transfer release documents to you and your bankers for confirmation. Should you follow our directives, your funds will be credited and confirmed in your bank account within five (5) bank working days. For further details and assistance on this Remittance Notice, kindly forward your CONTACT ADDRESS, TELEPHONE and FAX NUMBERS directly to my Private E-mail: This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
Yours sincerely,

Genuine it may look, but a scam it is. Though not asking for money, it draws you in to giving contact details for the formal paperwork. Don't be fooled, and don't give personal information out in response to e-mails like this, note you are being asked to reply to a personal e-mail address, no bank would do this

This month the BBC published that internet fraud from 2005 to 2007 has increased by 8,000 percent. Other banking sectors have watched funds in small amounts been taken out of peoples' accounts. One of these stings is the old scam of getting money out of the country of someone deceased in Kenya. You are offered 5% of the total to allow them to use your bank account. The British and Kenyan police have been working to break this ring which has taken large quantities of money out of accounts in many countries throughout Europe.

Christmas is looming and many of you will be buying online. Please be careful and make sure you buy from a trusted site. The site should come up with an encrypted page which normally will have some form of security displayed. Good time to make sure your antivirus, firewalls and spyware are up to date so nobody can get access to your confidential information on your PC. Also go into your web browser and clear your personal information, which seems a good point to finish on.

If anybody would like to know more on these subjects or anything else send me an e-mail to This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it . Safe surfing it costs less.

It is difficult to find an honest man, I will give you an insight to this in the next issue.
