    Citi bank sent me an email last week that said my account password may have been compromised and that I should follow the link and verify the information that they have on file. I was sad, I don't have an account with them to see if it is incorrect.

    Heres a good one I got a bit ago.

    Attention,
    After several proper investigations at Western Union and MoneyGram ,
    Your name was found in the Western Union and MoneyGram database among those that have sent money through Western Union to Nigeria and this proves that you have truly been swindled by those unscrupulous persons by sending money to them through Western Union/MoneyGram in the course of getting one fund or the other that is not real,right now we are working hand in hand with Western Union to track every fraudsters down.

    Do not respond to their e-mails, letters and phone calls any longer as they are scammers and you should be very careful to avoid being a victim to fraudsters any longer because they have nothing to offer you but to rip-off what you have worked earnestly hard to earn.

    In this regard a meeting was held between the Board of Directors of The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and as a result of our investigations it was agreed that the sum of Eighty thousand US Dollars (US$80,000.00) should be transferred to you out of the funds that Federal Government of Nigeria has set aside as compensation to everyone who have in one way or the other been defrauded by Nigerians.

    ***Please note that we will no longer be liable for any loss, cost or expense whatsoever, suffered or incurred by You in connection with the fraudsters. Be warned!

    We have deposited your fund at Western Union Money Transfer agent location EMS Post office Lagos, Nigeria.
    We have submitted your details to them so that your fund can be transferred to you. We have paid the Registration and Transfer fees and for security reasons we have also insured your fund to avoid misappropriation.

    Contact the Western Union agent appointed for your transfer through the email addresses stated below;

    Mr.Andrew Gremson
    drewgrem@hotmail.com

    Yours sincerely,
    John Obuh,
    EFCC Investigation Officer.
    ************************************************** ************************************************** **************
    Please note that e-mails, letters and phone calls are currently been made to unsuspecting persons by fraudsters claiming to have access to their funds. Everyday, people throughout the world are falling victim to scams of one way or the other. It could be an unexpected prize draw or lottery win, or a chance to invest in an exciting new money-making or investment programme . In the circumstance, we unreservedly advice you to dissociate yourself

    My Dear,


    I am Miss Susan Mensah citizen of Ghana, a computer analyst with central bank of Nigeria. I am 28 years old, just started work with central bank of Nigeria. (C.B.N.) My dear, I came across your payment file which was marked X and your fund release hard disk painted red, I took my time to study it and found out that you have really attempted to receive it but the fund has not been release to you. The most annoying thing is that the directors and top officials of this nation cannot tell you the truth that on no account will they ever release the fund to you; instead they let you spend money unnecessarily.


    I swear with my life that i do not intend to work here all the days of my life, I can release this fund to you if you can certify me of my security and how I can get out of this country Nigeria if I do this for you, I cannot run back to Ghana as they have all my information in Ghana, and if I don't run away from this country after I made the transfer to your bank account, I will be seriously in trouble and my life will be in danger.


    The only thing I will need to release this fund is a special hard disk, we call it hd120 gig. I will buy two of it, recopy your information, destroy the previous one, and punch the computer to reflect in your bank account within 24 banking hours. I will clean up the tracer and destroy your file, after which I will run away from here Nigeria to meet with you in your country if you are interested. But you must assure me the absolute confidentiality of this deal before I can do any further.


    Do get in touch with me immediately, you can as well email me with this email address ( susanmensahp@hotmail.com ) Call me with this number Tell: +234-8162064251.


    You should reconfirm your current information as follows,

    Your full names: Current home address: Current telephone numbers for easy communication:


    Active bank details where you want the fund to be transferred into.


    Regards

    In the last couple of weeks I've had pre recorded phone calls from 'BOA' and 'Wells Fargo' trying to straighten out problems with my debit cards. They need my account information in a timely manner to prevent fraud with said cards, and avoid my accounts being closed.

    You guessed it, I don't have a debit card at all, or an account with either...
