Email Scam

here is another email scam i have received months before,
if you read the text,
it does not differ much from the other
emails posted here...nearly the same..


here is the email..
-------------------------------------------------------------
From:mrs.heidiwessel@virgilio.it
Subject: Important, Read & Respond

Greetings,

My name is Heidi Wessel, a member of the
Swiss Banker̢۪s Association, a body which
works closely with the Independent Committee
of Eminent Persons (ICEP), Switzerland.
ICEP is charged with the responsibility of
finding bank accounts in Switzerland belonging to
non-Swiss citizens, which have remained for a
long time now.

It may interest you to know that In July of 1997,
the Swiss Banker's Association published a list
of dormant accounts originally opened by non-Swiss citizens.
These accounts had been dormant since the end of
World War II (May 9, 1945). Most belonged to
Holocaust victims.

The
published lists contain all types of dormant accounts,
including interest-bearing savings accounts, securities
accounts, safe deposit boxes, custody accounts,
and non-interest-bearing transaction accounts.
Numbered accounts are also included. Interest is
paid on accounts that were interest bearing when established.

The Claims Resolution Tribunal (CRT) handles
processing of all claims on accounts due non-Swiss citizens.
A dormant account belonging to Aufreiter Johann with a
credit balance of US$14M plus accumulated interest was
discovered by me. The beneficiary was a victim during
the holocaust era, leaving no WILL and no possible records
for trace of heirs. The Claims Resolution Tribunal has been
mandated to report all unclaimed funds for permanent
closure of accounts and transfer of existing credit balance
into the treasury of Switzerland government as provided by the
law for management of assets of deceased beneficiaries who
died interstate (leaving no wills).

By virtue of my office, I have all details and
necessary contacts for claim of the funds without any hitch.
However,due to the sensitive nature of my job, I need a
foreigner to HELP claim the funds. All that is required is
for you to provide me your details for processing of the
necessary legal, and administrative claim
documents for transfer of the funds to you.

You will be required to provide me with your full name,
address, and telephone/fax. I will arrange to ensure that
the fund is transferred to a secure, numbered account
based on a decision to be reached by us. My share will be 60
percent and your share is 40 per cent of the total amount.
There is no risk involved and I hope that this is ok by you.

You can find additional information about the unclaimed
funds through on the following websites:

org/2005_list/publication_list1_A.phtm

Contact me securely on my
address, hwess@web2mail.com
Anticipating your prompt response.

Mrs. Heidi Wessel.

Cayman Net News: Email scam Alert

E-mail scam alert

Friday, April 21, 2006

With the increasing creativity of e-mail scams, the Royal Cayman Islands Police Service (RCIPS’) Financial Crimes Unit (FCU) is warning residents to be extremely cautious with unsolicited emails.

Many of these scams contain all kinds of elaborate stories to obtain personal details for the receiver, said the FCU.

It is often difficult to separate genuine correspondence from fake. Some involve unsolicited emails asking the user to divulge bank details or enter into a business agreement of some sort.

Others mention large sums of money allocated to you from a lottery draw or state that cash has been left to you in a will.

Officers are reminding people that under no circumstances should they divulge bank or PIN details to anyone.

Neither your bank nor the police would ever request these details from you.

When using the Internet for financial transactions the FCU said always use reputable sites and access Internet banks by typing the address into your browser. Never go to a site using a link in an email. Passwords and PIN numbers must be kept secure.

Check statements carefully if you notice anything irregular, check it with the bank immediately. Keep your PC secure and be extra careful when using Internet cafes or computers that you have no control over.

Anyone who has fallen victim to this type of offence is encouraged to contact the FCU on 949-8797.
