Has someone offered you a huge sum of money or a valuable consignment? It's a 419 or advance fee fraud - find out how they work, and what to do to be safe.

This is a scam; this email was not sent from a bank manager, and the money does not exist. The scammer will invent fees that need to be paid before the (non-existent) money is transferred. If anyone pays the first fee, they will then be told that there is another fee to pay, and another one. No money will ever be received in return.

Greetings,

I am Dr Jim spelling, I am a fund manager with Barclays bank of UK, I
got your email address from the business network here in London, and I
was assured that you are very capable and honest to transact this
business with me.

Few yrs ago, I used an unclaimed fund {$100 million USD} whose owner
has died 23yrs ago and no one has come to claim the money. I secretly
invest the fund in a high interest program in the Swiss bank, it ran
for 7yrs and I made a profit of $10million USD.

I have stopped the program and has returned the capital back to our
bank, now its this $10 million USD profit I made which is in an escrow
account in our bank, but I will like us to pull the interest I made
from the investment and transfer it out of London to your country. All

I have to do is to name you as the beneficiary and have it transferred
to any bank account of your choice.

I don't know who to contact, that's why I am contacting you today, I
will need you to partner with me and provide an account where I can
wire transfer this fund and as soon as you have received it in your
bank account, I will fly over to meet you. I will give you 50% of the
money for your help and I will take 50% too. This is 100% risk free as
I legitimately acquired the fund.

If you are interested in this transaction, please do not hesitate to call me
as soon as possible with this number
Tel: +447924560630,
Email address: [email protected]

As I said there are no risks involved in this transaction; I can provide you
with documentation of the high interest trading for your perusal.

Thank you,
Dr. Jim Spelling
