About A Scam

事件起因

本篇记录一个我遇到一个诈骗故事。

这两年我陆续有收到邮件，内容为有一大笔遗产我可以继承，让我提供银行卡号，身份证号相关信息。

后面邮件的内容就变为，有一笔公益款项，可以用我名义去管理，让我提供联系方式和护照或身份证相关信息。

在我第一次收到这种邮件时，我内心就知道这是骗子邮件，因为不可能这么好的事情从天而降。前年收到邮件一直没怎么放心上，但后面陆续会收到类似的邮件。

本文我整理一下邮件内容，如果读者也收到类似的邮件，希望你能保持理智，不要上当受骗。

邮件内容

这里列几封邮件的内容，其它内容是类似的

Dear  Friend

In view,I am Mr.Tep Sereyan the branch manager of our bank,I considered it worthwhile to clarify you more on this issue before we proceed,I want to inform you that I concluded to work with you in this transaction hoping that we will get long in truth and spirit with no intention to cheat at any point in time,I contacted you in this matter based on the fact that you bear the same surname with our late customer and of the same nationality since I had sought for the relatives without success and instead of this fund being confiscated by the the bank and corrupt Government officials,I seek your consent to present you as the Next of kin based on the fact that I am the bank manager to my late client until his death and Whosoever I present to the bank as the next of Kin will certainly Inherits the fund.

Mr.Tep Sereyan.

"Tep sereyan"tepsereyanbk@gmail.com;

Good day,
        I have emailed you earlier without a response.In my first email I mentioned about my late client whose relatives I can not get in touch with.But both of you have the same last name so it will be very easy to make you become his official next of kin. I am compelled to do this because I would not want the bank to push my late client's funds amount 10.5 million dollars into the bank treasury as unclaimed inheritance.If you are interested you do let me know.
Yours faithfully,
Barrister  Migi Akakm
