I am reminded of an incident. I went to this bank in a posh area of Islamabad once. I heard a guy working at the bank telling a customer, that one of the banks client who was a profession man, I think maybe a doctor thought that he had won a lot of money as he got an email from somewhere. Some people are educated but still remain stupid.
No i reported him on ebay, and blocked his emails, I also restricted my selling to UK and US only, with people who have had good feedback over a long time. I did sell it soon after though!
One of my uncle got an email from some “so called company” and they said that they have mistakenly transferred $4,000 to your account. We were suppose to transfer it to some other client and we need this amount ASAP. since bank transfer would take time, would it be possible for you to send us $1500 so that we can give an advance to our cilent and send us the $1500 once you receive the amount. and you can keep $1000 because of the hassle we put you in
My uncle went to his bank and asked about any incoming amount or something .. .. the bank said there is no amount so for, if its a wire transfer it would take 4-5 days. One of his friend suggested him that he should send the amount back since it “sounds” legit as they are giving you $1000 .. .. but my uncle didn’t send the money.
No exactly, if you scam it properly you wouldn’t even know .. ..
I got such an email when i was selling my BlackBerry - The mail was legit, in my Gmail inbox .. .. with all the possible information. Having a background of IT security I wanted to check as if the mail is legit and when i went through different links in the email, I realized its not ..
