New members of MyEC must read this blog
Hi my dear EC friends, I hope you know about "email fraud" and "spamming" very well. How ever I'd like to share what happened with me.
I'm writing in my own way, because I have deleted that junk mails before.
Mail was something like that:-
My name is Stella. I'm a 21 years old girl. I show your profile and hopped from you. My father was in police and killed before 2 years ago. He left 40 million bank balance by my name. My step mother wants to kill me to obtained all my property, once she tried to smother me to gain all property's papers. Now I'm staying in a church far from my step mother. I talked with my bank manager, he told, I need a foreigner partner to access my account balance. So, I hope you'll help me. 15% of total amount will be yours. And we can spread business from my money in your country. Please send me your details, I will send you my photos and details in next email......
That time I was very new with such scams and I replied her with "Sorry I could not help you contact others". I didn't know where did she get my email id from, where she has mentioned "I show your profile". I was not a member of EC that time.
But again see send me another mail with some girl's photos and bank details.
She mentioned her:
Address with contact number.
Details of her bank with account no and manager's contact number and told me to contact her manager to take information about her account and procedure to become her foreign account partner to access her money.
She asked me:
My contact details with bank account details.
When I read her 2nd email, I felt something going wrong and I searched on google about her bank address and I found, a bank was existed with same address, again I serched with some other content of her mail and I found it is fraud mail and it is knowing as "419" Scam. Now, I have known about such scam very well.
Now a days we can see many such fraud mails, messages, many notification on internet. We should never reply to such scam, they all are fraud.
