Woolwich Bank ™ Plc <[email protected]>

This scammer tries to make you open an account on his fake bank. Mind you, there is a legitimate Woolwich bank specialised in online mortgages, but this scammer is only using the name of the bank. As you can see in the email, the scammer doesn't include a link to the real Woolwich bank, as it would give him away. The scammer is using a +4470 redirect phone number which redirects your call to anywhere in the world. The real bank is using an 0800 number. Furthermore, the scammer is using a free live.com email account,and not an email address with the banks domain. The scammer has western union or moneygram as payment optoins, which is absurd as you open your own account, you will transfer your own money directly to your account. Don't fall for this scam, you'll never see your money back.

Furthermore we will like you to know that with the Numbered Account you can apply for a loan; and however to be eligible for such benefit with other types of account you most have banked with us for a significant period of time; the time is determined by the type of account you operate with us and the status of your account must not be in RED.

COMPULSORY REQUIREMENTS ARE:

(1.) Applicants must have the initial opening deposit to activate the type of account that he/she desires to operate; activation must take effect not later then nine working days after the submission of the completed Non residential form, otherwise the application will be turned down; thus the account would be terminated.

(2.) Applicants must send to this office, a valid identification proof.

(3.) Full residential address.

(4.) The name and address of a next of kin; also stating your relationship with him or her.

PAYMENT OPTION:

We will like you to make a choice on the medium of paying the initial opening deposit to us; be informed that the opening deposit can be sent to us via telegraphic (wire) transfer, the wire transfer would be confirmed and credited into your new account within 3-7 banking days, but however on several occasions our new customers from overseas preferred using faster services such as Money Gram/Western Union which is received and credited on the same day. The services like Money Gram and Western Union apparently are faster for the remittance of such initial opening deposits if an immediate activation of the account is required by the new customer, and such services are still generally accepted in the financial sector by various finance institutions not only in Europe ; hence if you decide to use any of the above mentioned services it will be up to you.

Sincerely,
Mr. Mike Edward
Woolwich Online Bank
