The following email alert from the RBC Royal Bank is a fake. It is an email scam meant to steal your login and personal details so that the scammer may fraudulently access your bank account and possibly steal your identity. The entire scam email is below.

Notice the tell-tale signs of an email scam – not addressed to you personally and it was sent to multiple recipients. The link in the email body leads to segosselin.com/install/language/www1.royalbank.com/accessrbunxcg/fakeremoved/index.htm. Notice the initial top-level domain is not the Royal Bank but some website called segosselin.com. They try to confuse you by including what appears to be the proper address later in the url string. Clearly they are using a hacked account to perpetrate their online crime.

The email actually comes from – mail.newwavemktg.com IP 216.75.6.122 which leads to a hosting company account which has more than likely also been compromised and now used to facilitate this crime.

If you have filled out the form already – contact your bank and local police departments immediately.

Royal Bank of Canada Email Scam is a post from: Get Rich Fast

This scam email gives a link which claims to be for your your online banking account but leads to http://202.28.24.134/XXX-scam-link. That IP address leads to an infected computer in Thailand from the KKU.AC.TH in Chiang Mai. A website has been setup to mimic your normal TD Canada Trust login and this is where they will steal your personal details and then attempt to drain your account dry.

As always with any email you suspect is fake and a scam attempt read it carefully. There are always clues. This one has a glaring example of the stupidity and haste to which these scammer morons act to always try to lure in more people. They don’t check their emails very carefully for this one clearly says at the bottom – Scotia Bank, Member FDIC. Why would the TD Canada Trust bank be putting Scotia Bank stuff in their emails? Of course they wouldn’t but lazy scammers who don’t know better will.

The scam email is below. If you get a similar email do not click the link in it. If you already have and filled in their form, you need to immediately contact your TD Canada Trust branch and tell them you were tricked. Call the customer service line right now – do not wait!

TD Canada Trust Email Scam is a post from: Get Rich Fast

The email is trying to entice you to use a form contained within the email to send your private details for your banking account to the scammers. Your bank will never do this. Let’s repeat that – your bank will never send an email with a form asking you to fill it out. Never.

The enticement is one we see often – they say your account has been charged some amount that you will obviously see as one you didn’t make. They want you to throw caution to the wind while being upset about charges to your account. If you are ever unsure about your account – go to your local branch and inquire there or use the official website for your bank. Never download or open anything from an email like this, never fill out the forms and never visit any website listed.

The scam email is shown below. If you get this email it is a scam. It is being sent from a compromised website server – advancedsports.com.tw which resides at 211.20.130.233.

SCOTIA BANK AND ROYAL BANK OF CANADA is a post from: Get Rich Fast

Did you apply for a job with these people? Are you even looking for work? Was the email addressed to you personally – and this one wasn’t if you look at the source code of the email – which fakes the sender’s address and replaces it with your own. A reputable company doesn’t do such things – they address you personally and don’t hide their identity from you.

As well notice the very poor grammar and spelling. We have not edited the email text below in any way. They try to lure you with the huge starting salary for very part-time work. That should be a hint to any working person that this is a fake…

The domain name international-ca.com WHOIS shows that it was just registered today and it is already sending out scams via spam email. The website resolves to a server setup page. What kind of company offers that starting money that just started out that day? That’s right – none.

The following is a scam. Do not reply in any way to the scammer.

Hello,

Our company offering a JOB with a salary starting from
$2,036 up to $6,885 per month.

This is in view of our not having a branch office presently in Canada.

with residents of some countries, we cannot work directly with individuals, so we need responsible employeefor
intermediary services to be our official representative in Canada.

Requirements:
No experience needed, you need to have at least one bank account in Canada, availability of 2 – 3 hours of spare time per day
and internet-access or phone for communication.

If you are interested in our proposition, you can request more information at Donald@international-ca.com

(Re: Transfer of USD$25,500,000.00)
(TWENTY FIVE MILLION,FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS)
Email:dr.mohammedabdullahd57@yahoo.com.hk

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am Dr.mohammed abdullahd the Senior & Auditor General of a Bank, during the course of our auditing, I discovered a floating fund in an account opened in the bank in 2000 and since 2003 nobody has operated on this account again.

After going through some old files in the records I discovered that the owner of the account died without a [heir] hence the money is floating and if I do not remit this money out urgently it will be forfeited for nothing. The owner of this account is a foreigner, a miner and an industrialist. He made millions of dollars before he died victoriously .Since DEC 26 2003 website details as follow:
<<>
and no other person knows about this account or any thing concerning it.

My investigation proved to me that the account has no other beneficiary and that until his death he was the manager director of aluminium & steel industries (PTY). SA. We will start the transfer with the total sum involved (TWENTY FIVE MILLION,FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS)USD$25,500,000.00 only, into your account, as a safe foreigners bank account abroad, but I don’t know any foreigner abroad that’s why I have contacted you to bear the legal sole beneficiary of the fund.

I am revealing this to you with believe in God/Allah that you will never let me down in this business. Also send your private telephone number and fax number including the full details of the account to be used for the deposit. I need your strong assurance that you will never let me down in this business proposition.

With my influence and the position in the bank, as an official whom is working in our favour we can transfer this money to any foreigner’s reliable account which you can provide with assurance that this money will be intact pending my physical arrival in your country for sharing.

The bank official will destroy all documents of transaction immediately you receive this fund leaving and they will be no trace to any place and to build confidence you can wrote immediately to discuss with me the modalities,after I will make this remittance in your presented account and fix my resign date, to fly down to your country at least 7 days ahead of the fund transferred and confirm into the account.

At the conclusion of this business, you will be given 45% of the total amount, 50% will be for me, while 5% will be for expenses might have incurred during the process of transferring. I am waiting for your reply.

Best Regards,

Dr.mohammed abdullahd

Unclaimed Millions Beneficiary Email Scam is a post from: Get Rich Fast

Notice some of the more obvious scam details like the use of a free gmail email address for someone claiming to be an executive of a major bank. In this case the Hang Seng Bank actually exists, but that still doesn’t make this offer true.

I am Mr. Liang Shing, Executive Branch Director of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd, of Hong Kong . I have an obscured business suggestion for you.

Should you be further interested,I would prefer you to reach me on my Email Address: and finally after that I shall provide you with more details of this operation.

RESPOND IF ONLY YOU ARE INTERESTED SCAM is a post from: Get Rich Fast

The writer pretends – poorly – to be a worshiper of God and wants you to find them a church to dispense their funds when they die soon. But if this person is such a close follower of God, they should have at least some connection of their own to a Church, priest or other church-goer.

As of late these types of scams to get your banking details and more, have been constructed fairly well when it comes to proper grammar and sentence structure. This attempted scam is not one of those. It’s very poorly written including the obvious capitalization of words that don’t need to be.

From: Mrs. Roesel Kunie

I am the above named person from France. I am married to Dr Fabien Kunie who worked with France Embassy in America for seven years before he died in the year 2006.We were married for eleven years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only two weeks. Before his death we were both born again Christians. Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my Matrimonial home which the Bible is against. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of 24Million Dollars (twenty four Million United State Dollars) on the safe deposit box with the bank. Europe.

Presently, this money is still deposited on the safe deposit box with the bank.

Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next four months due to cancer Problem. Though what disturbs me most is my stroke sickness. Having known my condition I decided to donate this Fund to church or better still a Christian individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct here in. I want a church that will use these funds to fund churches, orphanages and widows propagating the word of God and to ensure that the house of God is maintained. The Bible made us to understand that blessed is the hand that giveth.

I took this decision because I don’t have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not Christians and I don’t want my husband’s hard earned money to be misused by unbelievers. I don’t want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly manner. Hence the reason for taking this bold decision. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord. The lord he will fight my case and I shall hold my peace. I don’t need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health and because of the presence of my husband’s relatives around me always. I don’t want them to know about this development.

With God all things are possible As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the BANK in Europe I will also issue you a letter of authority that will prove you as the original- beneficiary of this Fund. I want you and the church to always pray for me because the lord is my shepherd. My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian. Whoever that wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and truth. Please always be prayerful all through your life.

Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for a church or Christian individual for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein Hoping to hearing from you.

I have set aside 30% for you and for your time and 10% for any expenses if there is any then remaining balance for the word of God.

Remain blessed in the name of the Lord.

Yours in Christ,

Mrs. Roesel Kunie

TRUST IN THE LORD AND GIVE ME ALL YOUR MONEY SUCKER is a post from: Get Rich Fast

The first giveaway which we always point out to our readers is the source of the email. Not only is it from someone we don’t know who is suddenly offering us millions of dollars for little effort, it comes from yet again another free email address. The free email address this time is from yahoo, and think about it, how many people with high positions in a bank use free email addresses from yahoo or google to conduct business? Right – none. Don’t be fooled.

Now for the content of the scam email – notice the improper use of capitalization, the attempt to make you feel at ease by the writer telling you of their ”family”, and the requisite use of God to try to make you feel good about giving up your personal details and money. A bank manager making a business deal with someone they don’t know, let alone never meet, would never mention their family as it has nothing to do with the business at hand, but here it is used as a wedge to gain your confidence. Don’t fall for it.

As with most foreign scams targeting North Americans this one also has poor grammar and sentences obviously formed by someone who has English as a second language. While the writer purports to be from Ghana and one would expect them to have sub-par English skills, don’t let that gain your confidence. Furthermore, read the actual text. Mrs Sylvalin Jack at first claims that as an officer of the bank she can’t have anything to do with the money being offered to you, yet she is the one contacting you, she is the one that will be the contact for the transaction, and she will receive a full 30% of the transaction! Hello! So which is it – she can or cannot have anything to do with the money!?

If you get the following email which is posted unedited or even something similar – it is a scam. If you already replied with your personal information you need to contact your bank and local police as soon as possible.

From: Mrs Sylvalin Jack
Standard Chartered Bank
Koforidua Branch

My Dear Good Friend,

My name is Mrs Sylvalin Jack I am the regional manager of Standard Chartered Bank Koforidua branch Ghana. I got your information on a recent bank conference with other West African countries held in Lome the capital city of Togo in West Africa. I write you this proposal in good faith; I am 42 years old married with two lovely kids.

I have packaged a financial transaction that will benefit you and I, as the regional manager of the Standard Chartered Bank it is my duty to send in a financial report to my head office in the capital city Accra at the end of each business year. On the course of the last year 2007 business report, I discovered that my branch in which I am the manager made Five million seven hundred and twenty thousand united state dollars($5,720,000.00) which my head office are not aware of and will never be aware of. I have placed this funds on what we call escrow call account with no beneficiary. As an officer of this bank I cannot be directly connected to this money, so my aim of contacting you is to assist me receive this money in your bank account and get 30% of the total funds as commission.

There are practically no risks involved, it will be a bank to bank transfer, and all I need from you is to stand claim as the original depositor of these funds who made the deposit with my branch so that my head office can order the transfer to your designated bank account.If you accept to work with me I will appreciate it very much.

Email me so that we can go over the details. Thank you in advance and May god bless you and your family.

Warm Regards,
Mrs Sylvalin Jack

Standard Chartered Bank Email Scam is a post from: Get Rich Fast

Russell here claims to be a lawyer in London yet when you actually read the email you will see that Russell has the language skills of a fifth grader. Notice the unnecessary capitalization of words, improper grammar and the complete lack of legal terminology that lawyers usually write in. Lawyers don’t write like this – scam artists from shady countries do!

The con artist tries to tie in a tragic event with a large lump sum payment if only you would help. And how did this lawyer know you from the other side of the world? As well notice the email address – rgell@mailbox.hu – that’s a Hungarian domain extension. Why would a lawyer in London be using a free Hungarian email service for work? As you can see this is just another pathetic attempt to get you to part with your banking information and money. Don’t fall for it – and if you already have, be sure to contact your bank and local police department immediately.

Below is a copy of the spam email being sent out:

Dear Sir / Madam

I apologize to you for any inconveniences caused if this mail does not meet your demands, though I do not intend to embarrass you by the contents of this very mail.I am Barrister Russell Gell. I was the personal Attorney to Late Engr N.S.Ammo,Who was a citizen of your Country but lived and did his business here in London with his family and he was the CEO of Ammons Group of companies and Ivory Cannons before his sudden death along with his family.

Unfortunately he lost his life aboard Egypt Air Flight 990, which crashed into the Atlantic Ocean on October 31, 1999.He left no clear beneficiary as Next of Kin .The Bank has searched for the relatives for more than four years without any success and after 6 years, no claims are made by any of the deceased next of kin, the money will be sent to unclaimed accounts and embezzled by the corrupt bank or government officials. It is against this bank drop that the bank has contacted me as the Late depositor’s Attorney to contact and present to them my late Client’s next of kin so that the deposit can be paid to him or her.

This is why I have contacted you. Who ever I present to the bank as the next of kin will be accepted and therefore I wish to present you . Upon your acceptance, I shall give you other details for the successful claim of the fund. I have secured from the probate registry, an order of Mandamus to locate any of the deceased beneficiaries, and more so I am assuring you that this business is 100% risk free. If this proposal is acceptable by you, please endeavor to reply me immediately,if not please disregard this email.Thank you very much for your anticipated acceptance while I expect your prompt response.

Yours faithfully,
Russell Gell Esq.

My Client Died – Help Me Take His Money Scam is a post from: Get Rich Fast

With titles like From China Business Offer, or Quick Money Business Deal, be wary of these job or business offers. They are trying to prey on the tens of thousands of people who are currently out of work or find themselves underemployed and looking for extra money. Many of these people may be applying online for new employment and may not screen their emails closely enough.

Most of these scams deal with the transfer of money or goods. All of them once the details are hashed out involve you giving up your personal details including bank account numbers. Do not accept money on behalf of anyone for any reason over the Internet under such a scenario.

Some examples of these email offers include:

Hello,
I want to solicit your attention to recieve money on my behalf. I will send you the full details and more information about myself and the funds.My personal email is: xin_sheng001@yahoo.com.cn
Thank you

If you get any emails like the one above IT IS A SCAM. Do not reply to such offers – just delete the email and move on. If you have already replied and are accepting cheques or transfers of money to your account you best contact your bank immediately and explain everything to them in full. Keep any correspondence between you and the scammer for evidence.
