I didn't realize how many different scams these people have going....
I have the same experience. But it came from the company that I quite impressed. It came from "Microsoft Award Team" with the Microsoft trademark logo.(Is there any such team in the Microsof?). the sender of the first email was from Dr Vicki Abraham. Second email was from Mr Wilson More. They claimed that being an active user of the Internet Microsoft Windows, I have been selected for the month of January 2008 and won a sum 950,000 pounds.To make me more impress, they attached with the Certificate of Payment and Approval List endorsed by the director.
The mode of payment/ the transfer prosedure is by using HSBC Bank London UK and I have been asked to contact the director of Foreign Operation- Mr Jean Wade at email jeanwade.office@hsbc-ram.com. (is there any department and such name in the HSBC Bank ?). In order for the payment to be transfered into my account, I have to procure the details of my Bank's account to them. As at todate I have not acted further.
Faridzah,
yes, they do try to impress you with fake documents and certificates. I can do the same within about 5 minutes. That's how easy it is.
I reveived the same letter from Dr Vicki Abraham, Microsoft Award Team. I know for sure it's a scam, but I'm really afraid many people are going to be fooled by the very convincing letter. I hope we can all inform our friends and the police and the press so this bad person can be apprehended.
If only it was that easy …
