":I was requested to open a new account, is this true?"

It's a total scam.

There is a real woolwich bank, but you are not talking to them. Notice that the scammers are using a yahoo email address. It is a free address that is not connected to the bank in any way. These scammers just create emails (and websites sometimes too) using the names of real banks in order to make their victims think that they are real.

The truth is, there is no millions of dollars. There is no barrister. Nobody was in an accident and died. There are only African scammers (the writing tells me they are African creating fake stories invented for the sole purpose of stealing your money.

As Dotti says, it is a complete lie with the ultimate intention of stealing money from you jes. You won't get a penny/cent from the scammer.

The amusing point is that what the scammer is suggesting is illegal and no real banker would suggest it, otherwise he would himself be a criminal.

The email proves you're dealing with a criminal, even if he's not lying (but he is) and because of this it isn't really a very good scam because a criminal only has one intention, and that is to steal money from you.

I see this being your first posting jes. I'm happy you asked the question because as the other members have indicated, the scammer is trying to fool you. The mistakes the scammer made will put you in good stead to simply ignore the silly tosspot. Your best course of action is to have no further communications with the fraudster and simply put it down to one of life's unpleasant experiences. The scammer will quickly get the message you won't be scammed and will leave you alone.

Hi Jes,

I knew this was a scam within the first five lines, because I have never received a letter from my bank where the sender needs to use the title "Dr. ..." in their heading. This is a giveaway of scammers, because they think throwing respected titles around adds to their credibility.

The replies above are all good ones.
