Wow? All caps? misspelled words? Bad grammar? Using foreign Yahoo e-mail addresses? I suppose the "Account Director" doesn't have a name, therefor he just signs "Account Director" ....

This one is baaaad, lawl.

Thought u might get a kick out of it.

The cheek of some scammers these days, its a bad state when they cannot even be bothered to spell check lol.

 

[glocktodahead]

I`ve seen them, just like this.

What is most alarming, and the banks don`t tell u the reason why (which u can obviously work out for u`rselves) - alot of these emails manage to target a banks` name with your email address.

Now, out of 50million people - how does the scammer know u and the bank are connected, particularly in an overseas customer situation ?

 

[Toxcity]

I swear the bank isn't ever ment to email you..

 

[BloomerzUK]

Oddest thing is... people actually fall for these E-Mails.. My Nan for instance...

 

[FragTek]

With the amount of inboxes they hit every day with crap like this there just happens to be people out their that are:

A) Engaged in international money acts

B) Bank with Citizens International

C) Are extremely remedial

Put all 3 together and you've just made yourself a tasty scam sandwich!

Classic scam with bad spelling and bad grammar - what do you expect?

I have received a insidious eBay scam where the criminals put up a classic 'phising' website and awaiting...:nono: for the gullible, the naive and the innocent newbies into their web....to lynch, to cipher, to identity steal, etc...

EBay did notify me that the criminals came from India and were targeting UK and Eire newbies/users/end users on a massive scale - probably organised criminal gangs at play here...:ar:...to harm all innocents....(includes moi/me)..
