This scammer dares use a real banker George Culmer, CFO of Lloyd banks, who is
Cambidge-educated. The scammer has an African accent and writes rather poor English !!! He somehow managed to have Culmer's passport and ID

Reply to his email:

Mr. Culmer the fake or flakey,

It's unconceivable that a CFO of Lloyds Group doesn't have 10K in savings or stock or bonds, out of his huge compensation package:

Chief Financial Officer (CFO): £720,000 base salary
CFO: £504,000 fixed share award
Max Bonus: 100 per cent of base salary for other Executive Directors
Long term incentive plan for CFO: 275 per cent of base salary

It's unconceivable that a CFO of Lloyds Group writes poor English like yours.
It's unconceivable that a CFO of Lloyds Group speaks with a black African accent.

It's unconceivable that a director of Lloyds Group gets a domain name just a few days ago.

Conclusion: it's all a scam.

Damn you for wasting my time.
