I AM Mr Pedro Lopez

Leeg17

Got this e-mail today, clearly a scam :

"Mr. Pedro Lopez
Royal Bank of Scotland
Address Here

Please send your response to (@@@@@@@@@)

Dear Sir/Madam
My name is Mr.Pedro Lopez, what I have that may be of interest to you is a business proposal that will benefit you.I work with the Royal Bank of Scotland here in Madrid Spain. The main reason I am writing to you is based on a Corporate Bank account that has been lying dormant for some years now, it was owned by a late Canadian industrialist.Due to my investigations, I found out that she died on 22nd of September,2001 from injuries sustained from an auto crash in venezuela, with no child, next of kin or relative.

But before her death she had mandated us to raise a draft to transfer the funds in her corporate account to one, Mr.Daniel Raul, a contractor, being payment for his contractual services for the supply and installation of drilling equipments, and aviation parts made as supplies to her oil servicing and aviation company in Venezuela.

Unfortunately he also died in the crash alongside with her while visiting her in Venezuela. The fact that Mr.Daniel is the supposed beneficiary of the funds is not known to anybody, except a few of us involved in this transaction. We have for many years made frantic efforts to trace any of his surviving relatives but to no success.If we do not trace any of his relatives, then the funds will end up being reverted to the British Government or repatriated to Canada. We are therefore soliciting your support in order for us to present you from the Company as the contractor who had actually executed the contract and is entitlted to the funds in the account as his contractual payment.

@ EMAIL: )
Yours faithfully,
Pedro Lopez"

Was thinking of giving my details, but changing the name/address/numbers *everything* to see what this f*cker replies, but was thinking I'd get some fun out of it.
So AH, Suggestions? :pac:

Oh, it's not a scam.

See, what you do is you give them all your credit card numbers, and if one of 'em is lucky, they send you a prize!

I take it most of those emails sent are by a bot, so really would be a waste of time unless they were using there own email server and storing it locally, in which case you could probably flood it. If it was a gmail server though, I dont think they'd appricate it that much.

Set up a new bank account with no money in it and no over-draft option and give them all them details and then see what happens.

Ironically enough even though these scam emails go around all the time...theres guys out there that have offered a friend of mine a significant amount of cash to put through his successful online business...money launndering on the web is a huge huge business...

Dodgy? Fook yes!!!!

Scam? Not all the time!

If someone offer you money it's a scam.
If someone mails you without you requesting it it's a scam.
If someone offers you anything via mail it's a scam.
If someone wants any kind of personal details it's a scam.

If it's this Pedro Lopez, you'd better tread carefully, OP.
