They claim they will send you a atm card which you can withdraw $4,000 per day (like there is any such atm in the US!). You would draw $4,000 per day until your reach 800,000 – Ya, right.

But you know what, someone will actually fall for this phishing scam! Here is the letter I received:

    Susan.

  32. Alison Says:

    Is this the same thing. I contacted HSBC from the number on their website. HSBC will do nothing to get me to the security department to notify them of this. In fact they wanted my SS # to verify that they did not have anything for me. Besides the fact that it took an act of congress to get a live person on the phone,
    and then he refused to transfer me further til I released my SS # to verify what ever. Nice bank I will make sure I do business with them. NOT!

  35. Albert Mangrum Says:

    The reason they ask for a copy of your passport or driver’s license is so they can get new credit cards in your name and steal your identity. I played along with one, and used an old ID from my Air Force days, an Embassy ID card from the US Mission to Iran issued by the State Department. That was the last I heard from that particular scammer, but I still get dozens of others

    finance
    house fo r the collection of this international certified bank
    draft.

    Hope to hear from you soon.

    My sincere advice to you as a christian is that you should endeavour to
    pay your tithe to a bible believing church when you get the money
    because I noticed it as a fudiciary agent that you were skeptical about
    your winnings when you were been ask by the Uk lotto Agency Inc to file
    out a claim for your prize. And now the current policy of the Lotto
    organiser is that if an emerged winner fails to claim up his/her
    winning
    cheque of $3.500,000 it’s now mandatory that this fund can be remitted
    or
    forfeited to the fudiciary agent in charge of this winners file.

    However, I want you to contact him immediately as soon as you receive
    this
    information because he is leaving for the US by the end of this
    month and this might cost a delayment for you to receive this draft.

    Yours Sincerely,
    Mr Roger Wilson
