Be Net Aware

Yet another inheritance Scam, this time claiming to be from a Mrs C Sulak. Fairly standard e-mail aiming to attract genuinely charitable people with a sob story, and people who hope to take advantage of a vulnerable person but are too stupid to realise it is a scam.

Lets be honest, if you had a lot of money and no direct relatives to inherit would you contact random people you have never met to give it to a charity or would you instruct your lawyer to give it to a suitable charity or set up a trust fund to do it for you?

I am the above named person, now undergoing medical treatment. I was married to late Engr M.N Sulak who worked With the Embassy for Nine years.

We were married for eleven years without a child. My late husband Engr M.N Saluk died on the 24th of April 2006 after a brief illness that lasted for only four Days. I decided not to re-marry or get a Child outside my matrimonial home, because as a good Christian my religion is agents it says the Bible and I lived a happy and good Christian life with my late husband.

when my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of $22 Million (Twenty Two Million America Dollars) with one Finance house Presently in London. I have been in the hospital for eight months suffering from cancer. The 1st surgery operation has been conducted and I still have the pains in me crying every day and night looking up to God to save cure me and save my life Recently my Doctor told me that I may die any time any day because of my cancer sickness.

Having known my condition I decided to donate the $22 Million (Twenty Two Million America Dollars) my late husband deposited with a finance house in London to you a good organization that will utilize this fund very well by helping the less privilege. Like to the orphanages, Old people, homeless. I took this decision because I don’t have any child that will inherit this Fund.

I want you to always pray for me as I have no life again says my doctor. It will be my please to receive your good response and I will contact or direct you to my late husband attorney that will help you to secure this $22 Million (Twenty Two Million America Dollars) and I want you to assure me that you will use this $22 Million (Twenty Two Million America Dollars) to help the less privilege .

Am waiting for your respond. Please your responding to this mail, email me at msulak001@gmail.com

God bless you and your good family

Mrs.c.Sulak.

I have the most amazing luck, I have just won over 1 million Euros, in a lottery sweepstake I never entered, with numbers I would never use! Or it could just be a scam e-mail where if I contacted them and followed through on their requirements, they would end up stealing my identity and money from my bank.

Aren’t I lucky receiving a job offer from a company I have never heard of who don’t know any of my details, and all I need to do is send them my personal details and a copy of my photographic ID. Or it could just be a standard scam letter where they are trying to get my details so they can commit identity fraud and possibly later on if I progress with this worse if they get hold of my bank details.

This e-mail is a fairly standard Phishing e-mail where they threaten to close your account unless you respond. At first glance if you open in html it looks official and appears to come from a legitimate e-mail address, though it states new-egg.com not egg.com. It should also be noted it is fairly easy to spoof an e-mail address anyway.

however the plain text versions shows you will be directed to a different site
