Anatomy of a Scam - Part III

This is part 3 of a feature I am writing about called "Anatomy of a Scam". You can find part 1 here.

Update. Van Dick wrote back already.. this is quite interesting as he gave me a number to call him instead of trying to call me.

Here it is..

----------------------

Carl,

below is the information of the bank copy and send to the email below.and you can reach me on this number ,any time (number blocked)



Bank:SNS BANK
WEB:WWW. SNSBANK.NL
Email.(email blocked)
TEL:(Number Blocked)
Fax:(Number Blocked)

I also wish my application will be given an urgent attention as I wish this balance be released and Re-transferred into my account which i will provide once the confirm of the the received on this mail .

Accept my apologies for the late application, it was due to some family problems which have just been settled.

Thanks in anticipation of your cooperation.

-------------------------------------------------

So basically he wants me to send this pre-made email (signed with my name) to the new email address supposedly belonging to a bank in the Netherlands called SNS Bank. Included in the email is an apology for the "late application" nice touch.

I did some analysis on the email, and found it to be originating in Haarlem NL through an Internet Service Provider called "UPCLive".

I'll try to call him later. (Recorded of course for your listening pleasure)

The funniest part of these is the excessive and odd legalese that gets added in to the letters and emails. "Humbly"? Really? As in "Bank, may I have my money?" "No" "But I'm asking humbly!" "Oh, well in that case. . . " What does humility have to do with the merits of claim to the money. Anyway, that stuff makes me giggle.

I want to be there when you make the call. I bet you get VM everytime and they tell you at some point to leave your account number on the machine and they will take care of it cuz they are so busy etc.
