The
Wood-Forest National Bank California controlling department
has
issued
a security transfer CODE which the
Authentication
section code of this bank concludes the verification of
your
file. After going through all the documents of claim received by
this
department with justification and verification from the
global
strategy
United States we are completely satisfied and you have
been
confirmed.
The
Wood-Forest National Bank has received the sum of $17.5
Million
Dollars
from United Nations which has been assigned for you as
the
Compensation
of the past scam victims you have encountered in the past
and
this payment is expected to be in your Account before 3
days.
Considering
the volume of your payment, it is right for us to seek for
the
approval of some money regulatory Boards here in United States
before
we can carry out the Transfer of an amount of such magnitude
to
anybody,
otherwise any such transfer will be stopped by the
Authorities
of Wood-Forest National Bank, and the International
Monetary
Fund (IMF), Approval Documents from the concerned Authorities
here
in United States are needed to avoid stoppage once the Transfer
is
carried out and for that reason, you are required to pay the Sum of
$100.00
In a separate scam attempt it was claimed that by sending $100.00 I would receive $12 billion US dollars from the Federal Reserve Bank, transferred from four different banks; Royal Bank Of Canada (RBC), Bank of America and Nat west bank London. Millions of emails like this are are sent every week. If only a fraction of 1% of people respond, it's a very lucrative business.
