The following is another scam I received. Whilst I cut and pasted the contents here, and whilst the wordings are directly from the source, the context isn't exactly as it should appear. I guess it is a problem with pasting boxes here, however they are professional looking, have company letterheads and are quite deceiving to the eye.

As you will note below, it all looks quite professional and legitimate, but trust me, it’s not. A simple on line search on scam artists will show the supposed website below. These SCAM artists are designed to; one steal your identity and two; transfer funds for them that they are illegally trying to gain. If you fall for their game, what will happen is; they will have access to the money you transferred to them whilst after having your account locked by the bank, you will be left with questions for the law enforcement officers.
