Next of Kin scam [email protected]

Hi

I received the following mail from a User :[email protected]

Sir / Madam,

We are conducting a standard process investigation involving a client
who shares the same name with you and also the circumstances surrounding
investments made by this client at HSBC Bank Plc.

The HSBC Private Banking client died intestate and nominated no next of
kin to inherit the title over the investments made with HSBC Bank Plc.
The essence of this communication with you is to request that you
provide us information on three issues:

1-Are you aware of any relative/relation having the same surname, whose
last known contact address was Madrid, Spain?

2-Are you aware of any investment of considerable value made by such a
person at the HSBC Bank Plc.?

3-Can you establish beyond reasonable doubt your eligibility to assume
status of next of kin to the deceased?

It is pertinent that you inform us ASAP whether or not you are familiar
with this personality that we may put an end to this communication with
you and our inquiries surrounding this personality.

You must appreciate that we are constrained from providing you with
more detailed information at this point. Please respomd back to my
private and direct email address: [email protected] as soon
as possible to afford us the opportunity to close this investigation.

Thank you for accommodating our enquiry.

Yours sincerely,
Mr. Robinson Page

Changed title to reflect nature of the scam. Also changed the quote tags. ~Bubbles

Welcome to Scamwarners.
It's a Next of Kin (NOK) scam rather than a phishing email. Respond and you'd be invited to put your self forward as the next of kin, and claim the imaginary money. Which would mean you having to pay various fees of course.
Either way, it should be ignored of course, apart from baiting him.

i've had emails from hsbc, loyds tsb.an nat-west stating someone was trying to access my accounts(i don't have any with them)could i use the link i opened once and they just want details of my accounts doh!!!

bellacastle, if you do receive a Phishing email, report it to the real company the email is pretending to come from. All major companies including banks have a place you can report the attempt to get your information. Usually you just forward the email message to their fraud department.

It can be dangerous clicking on links because they can hide a virus, and when you click on it, your computer would get infected. Be careful clicking on links you are not expecting from someone you actually know.

Be careful on the internet!

As Arnold said, the scam is actually a Next of Kin stand in. I am changing the title to reflect the nature of the scam. The topic was "Phishing scam Targetting HSBC Customers".
