    RE:  $10 Million, ATM Master Card Payment

    Dear Fund Beneficiary,

    email-scam
    This is the 3rd time I am sending you this notification letter regarding to your abandoned ATM Master Card valued sum of US$10 Million and I have not received any positive respond from you or making a suggestion on how you wish to receive your ATM Card. Once again; I am Mr. Carlos Roberto, the new director ATM Head of Operation Bank Of Africa, I resumed to this office on the 15th of December 2015 and during my official research I discovered an abandoned ATM Master card valued sum of $10 Million belonging to you as the rightfully intimate beneficiary.

    I tried to know why this card has not been released to you but I was told by the Union management that the ATM CARD was sent From Nigeria to here in Kenya because the director ATM head of operation officers in Nigeria hold your card for his own personal use without knowing that his evil plans towards diverting your fund will be discovered.

    Now that your ATM Master card is in Kenya and ready for your receiving, therefore you can come down here to our bank to pick up your card direct from my office or alternatively it can be arranged ship to your address through any registered reliable courier service company that you will take care of the courier charge, hope it is cleared and accepted by you?

    I don’t know the courier cost of shipping the card to you but if you permit me and accept the terms, then I can make an inquiry from the courier shipping company to find out the cost, but in that case you will be required to forward to me your address where you want to receive the card to enable me find out the shipping cost to your location.

    Your direct telephone number and address will be needed and more details of your ATM card payment will be made known to you as soon as I receive your swift positive response.

    Do not hesitate to call me on +254-712-371-370 as soon as you read this mail.

    Thanks for your co-operation and i wait for your kind positive respond.

    Yours Faithfully,

    Mr. Carlos Roberto

  • E-ZPass Phishing Email

    There is a new form of consumer fraud that involves scamming users of highway tolls. It works by telling drivers that they owe money on a toll service.

    My question is how in the world do they know who uses the tolls?  More than likely they just blasted it out to everyone.   It looks like many people all over the US are getting these emails.  It comes with an attachment that might contain malware.

    You can tell that it is a scam because of the origin:  <phillip.reeves@senseit.com.br>

    Dear UserName,

    You have a unpaid bill for using toll road.
    Please, do not forget to service your debt.

    You can find the invoice is in the attachment.

    Yours faithfully,
    Phillip Reeves,
    E-ZPass Manager.
