Please share this scam alert with your friends on social media.
One of the most common types of email scam is the abandoned bank account scam. These are messages that claim to come from a bank official who has discovered a dormant account with a fortune in it. If you’ll just help out, perhaps by posing as next-of-kin to the former account holder, then the banker (that is, the scammer), will give you a percentage. Alas, there really is no abandoned account and no banker — there’s just another advance-fee fraudster trying to pick your pocket.
