Title: They are at it again
Post by: andsome on September 05, 2017, 08:59:53
This is the text of an e mail I received this morning, they must think I'm stupid.


Office Of The Accountant General{FGN}
International Foreign Payment Dept,
27, Kofo Abayomi Street Victoria Island,
Lagos, Nigeria. Ref:CIG/100/445
 
Attn:Sir/Madam,
 
My name is Dr Ahmed Idris,The Accountant General{FGN},in the course of our General Auditing and Account revision of the 1st quarter of the year 2017,we discovered that the Bank Accounts belonging to some Benefactors have been changed on the basis that the owners have died some time last year or have given out an authorization note of change of data. (DEED OF ASSIGNMENT) After the investigations, however, it was revealed that there are Foreigners who are collaborating with Retired Staffs to make these changes illegally without the knowledge of the Bonafide Benefactors and one traced to your own change is this Mr. Rick Jones who said you are dead, hence they have forwarded some documents of funeral service held for you so as to divert your fund. They have also forwarded to this bank account below as the new account that will receive this money.
 
Bank Name:Hang Seng Bank
Bank Address: 83 Des Veoux Road, Central-Hong Kong
Account Name: Rick Jones
Account Number: 235-325172-882
Bank Code: 024
Swift Code: HASEHKHH
 
But we wanted to confirm if actually this is true and hence decided to write to your email address which after 2 days from now and there is no response, we will then know that you are dead indeed and go on with the transfer. If proved otherwise by you that you did not die, please forward to us all the related Benefactors particulars including your Telephone number, contact address. These details from you will help to assist us reach a conclusion that you are not dead.Anything contrary to this claim will help us charge this man to court and prosecute him while your fund will be paid to you immediately without any further delay.
 
You have to get back to us on time for us to commence legal proceedings against Mr.Rick Jones and his accomplices. We do await your positive response by phone or email { dr.hmedidris@naij.com }
Yours Sincerely,
Dr Ahmed Idris
Office Of The Accountant General{FGN}

The worst thing you could do is even open the email to read it, some contain scripts that upon opening can be enough to cause ransomware damage to the system, especially if the email is opened via a locally installed email client.

If you don't recognise the header and it doesn't contain your correct name...delete it.
