In brief introduction I am Mr.John Browns (Financial Broker & Finance Risk
Control Officer)10 Sandalwood Drive, Ruislip - Middx HA4 7JT, UNITED KINGDOM,


            RE- FUND TRANSFER MATTER,

Are you a business minded person, can you uphold financial transaction with
utmost secrecy, sincerity and seriousness? Your ability to respond and
co-operate with me, will be the beginning of more good financial deals between
us.


I work in the Finance Risk control/Accounts Broker Unit of a prestigious bank
in the United Kingdom. I have the official duty to process and release unclaimed
funds to the relatives of persons who have died without placing will/testament
on their monetary assets. Recently, there are multiple funds floating in the
bank treasury, these funds are what I want to shift/transfer to your account for
your benefit and mine.


Can you be trusted? However, as soon as you give me a reply and we conclude
necessary talks; the sum of 9,000,000.00(GBP)shall be transferred to your bank
account immediately. The transfer of funds to your account shall be lawfully
executed in respect to the wire regulatory ethics guiding the transfer of huge
fund from one country to another.


Besides, we can achieve this success of fund transfer within 5 bank working
days.Due to the confidential nature of this financial deal, please indicate your
interest by simply reply to my email.


I anticipate your urgent response to this financial matter, thank you.

Sincerely,
Mr.John Browns

Correction...the address does come up using just the post code only.

Not very salubrious for someone who talks in millions!

The landlord of the Caledonian pub in Liverpool posted a picture of a letter he received that went something like

Could they create a false identity ?

For example if they somehow got details of call me a taxi's bank account a Nigerian could impersonate him Laugh

The sad reality is that simply with someones name and bank account sort code and account number that they can set up direct debits from your account.

No proof of identity is required.

I have recently been a victim of identity fraud and have learned a lot about the system.

So if you have ever given someone a cheque you are wide open to having unauthorised amounts taken from your bank - they will be refunded on request, but is that really good enough?

Google 'Jeremy Clarkson bank account.'

The banks say shred all bank details etc, but it is all a load of bawlocks.

Interesting. I use cheques quite a lot usually to avoid credit cards. No win other than cash payments, but that isn't practical on a lot of occasions.
