Dave Newell Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Yes all I have to do is E-mail to the address in the attached message and £500,000 is mine for the taking! Honestly, anyone who falls for this should not be let loose unattended! It isn't even addressed to me personally, just to "undisclosed recipients" And why would I be e-mailing to someone at "reporter.it" to claim money from the UK HMRC? D. "HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) was formed following the merger of Inland Revenue, HM Customs and Excise Departments and we wish to inform you that your parcel containing a Cashier's Cheque of 500,000.00 British Pounds which was issued and ready to be paid in your name has been held in our custody as it was withheld from the Courier Agencies wanting to manipulate the delivery of the cheque and for the unforeseen delay it has gone through before our intervention. From the information we gathered, the parcel was covered with an insurance policy which make the cheque authentic and cashable by you alone being the beneficiary of the allocated sum. To further enable us clarify and convey your cheque immediately, we advice you contact and acquaint us with the following information's immediately; Name: Full Residential Address: Telephone Number: The above information should be forward to us through the Officer in charge as stated below; HM Revenue & Customs Excise Department Mr. Alfred Scott Email: alfred@reporter.lt Tel: +447024099377 Meanwhile, the shipment of the checks has been paid and will be processed immediately we hear from you but it is very important we settle the Insurance fee of the check which is 155.00 British Pounds.

AliB Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 You should worry Dave. My Loyds bank account has been accessed by a third party. You'd have thought the scam makers would have at least learnt how to spell the name of the bank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colin Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 This reminds me of the con artist who got jailed a few years back, his most important 'tool' was a list of those who he had conned. As he changed names he would contact old clients and con them out of even more money, it seems some people just don't learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightrider Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 The thing is, these con tricks do happen, I actually know a guy who was conned out of thousands. It only came to light when he fell ill and his family found out, they were not best pleased as it was their inheritence that had gone down the pan.
