Scams like these

So far this year I have probably won in excess of $10 million GBP/USD or whatever plus security reminders on both email & sms from Banks I have never dealt with re the money I am about to lose in relation to presumably the money I am about to receive? I like when people have your interest at heart :p
 
Yesterday I got one from Westpac that was titled "Sing-in Alert"! Don't know if it was meant to be an invitation to join in?

It's a new security thing, rather than type in those random words, you have to belt out a tune to get access

I haven't checked but if it is dodgy the number will basically be a virtual number which is then re routed to another country..
 
I didn't realise I was so lucky ;):)

Got one the other day. Meh. Just delete and move on. If I'm bored I will work out exactly what it does but I can already predict it....
You run the file. It connects to a website and downloads a file(or maybe more). You dont want these files on your computer.
Just don't muck around with what you do not know and delete the files.

FROM: Sgt. David Park Important Message Dear Sir, Good day to you My name is David Park i am an American soldier, i am serving in the military of the 1st Armored Division in Afghanistan on a peace keeping mission. I am now in Ukraine Border in the mean time, because of the uprise faced by the present administration. we are sent down here by US President Barack Obama, who has deployed troops to boost NATO's defences in eastern European states The main point of my story is that When Yanukovych fled in panic in February amid deadly protests against his rule, thousands of Ukrainian demonstrators overran his luxury private estate some 15 kilometres (10 miles) from Kiev and were shocked by what they saw.For instance the local English-language paper the Kyiv Post published a bill Yanukovych had for gold chandeliers worth some $41 million (30 million euros). When we stormed the mansion for proper investigation,I and my partner moved funds belonging to Yanukovych, the total is (Twenty Five million US dollars) this money is being kept safe in a security company. You will find similar story of this money on the web address below;New Kiev show reveals kitsch treasures from Yanukovych palace From My investigation he had no beneficiary or next of kin to claim these funds.I will need us to work together if you are interested and I assure you that I will provide all useful informations and documentation that we enable us transfer this funds into your bank account legally without any problem. Basically since we are working for the American government we cannot keep these funds, but we want to transfer and move the funds to you, so that you can keep it for us in your safe account or an offshore account. We shall compensate you for this transaction. This business is confidential, and it should not be discussed with anyone. There is no risk involved whatsoever. If you are interested I will send you the full details, my job is to find a good partner that we can trust and that will assist us. Can i trust you? When you receive this letter, kindly send me an e-mail signifying your interest including your most confidential telephone/fax numbers for quick communication also your contact details. This business is risk free. Please reply me via this email: [email protected], and [email protected] Respectfully submitted Sgt. David M. Park
