I just received this NOK scam. I don't know how they found my email address, since I couldn't find it using google (and I know my own address). I searched for the names used in the message. They do exist, and appear to be related to the bank in question (although the secretary has apparently been promoted to COO). I did not find any links to this scam, so I am posting it here. I am including full headers. The originating IP resolves to Dubai, UAE.
