Online scam artists must be running out of phoney bank names and be getting tired of using corporate brand names to help shield their schemes. Below find the actual scam email letter sent to us today. If you get this email as well, remember, it is a scam.

This is yet again another poor bank employee schmuck using a free Yahoo email address. This one is anwolly@yahoo.it. The scammer claims to be an ”Director” of Citibank in London England. Clue number one – banks give their employees internal email addresses, they don’t use free ones from Yahoo, MSN, or even Google for business use. Clue number two – banks don’t give away money.

Next, for a high-ranking ”Officer” of a major bank, his English is rather poor. No piece of official material leaves such a place without being double-checked for poor grammar and spelling mistakes. A quick read revels both in spades – hint number two.

Hint number three – how did this bank and the United Nations, and not to mention the World Bank get YOUR email address to give away millions of dollars? Think about it – if it sounds too good to be true – it is! The World Bank only gives money to nation states, so unless you rule your own island kingdom, you should know this is now a scam.

We tried the phone numbers but they didn’t work. We sent a reply faking that we really don’t know that they are trying to scam us. Let’s see what happens! Full text of the scam email is below.
