Be-Aware of Email Frauds – Some more examples

Continued from my previous post , Be Aware of Email Frauds, here i would like to share another example of Email Frauds. In this type of mails, sender tries to lure you for some heavy amount transfer to your bank account.

Example 1:

Usually, such scam mail originates in Africa. Now comes from other countries as well. Often, victims of this scam receive an introduction letter via email. In such a letter, they are usually told a story about a wealthy person (for example a rich businessman or government official) who has died. The letter then asks the receiver to provide a bank account where the deceased’s money can be “safely” deposited with a promise to pay 20% to 30% of the deposit as compensation.
