This little gem waiting for me in the overnight emails

To whom it may concern:


I am getting in touch with you regarding the estate of a deceased client with same last name as yours with an investment placed under our banks management 6 years ago. I want you to act as the next of kin to the deposit since you have the same last name as his.

I would appreciate your swift response if this is something you can do.

Regards,

Martin


I notice Martin didn't give his last name? Coincidence?

Small world...still knocking off a few penfolds are we?

I typed in 'law' into the serach box needing advice, then scrolled down to an interesting topic 'scams' and thought, did I sit next to you in January?
back to the off-topic thread now.

I spend too much time wandering

I am not a NAB custoner but got an SMS that "my NAB account has been LOCKED" and I have to click a link in the SMS.
The SMS came to my non smart phone.
A 0448 phone number was used!

Though we are told not to toy with the scammers and put the phone down, no harm in hearing their spiel.
Imagine being taken to "the courthouse to face the judge" again!

My husband got exactly the same SMS two days ago to his iPhone. He's not a NAB customer either.

It would seem trivial to have the account locked then (wouldn't it?)

But then I suspect the link wouldn't unlock it either...

"Invoice INV000307 from Coca-cola Amatil Limited" $3599.06

Ignoring the fact that I don't particularly like Coca-cola (and most of the associated fizzy drinks) there were NINE other emails with the same "title" with only the "organization name" and the amount due in message body changing

Alas I am reluctant to set up a rule to trash "INVOICE" emails.

Happy wandering

Fred

Edit: Three hours later and another FOUR similar emails

Cossie we are shareholders of that company. Look for the APN on lots of advertising signs around your city.
Too bad scammers pick some real businesses.
I still prefer the Nigerian letters even though they started over 20 years ago.

I can recall my mother receiving similar letters in late '70's, that's 1970's.
Usually unsolicited stock exchange investments at that time.
