Realmente esto es bastante viejo, aunque esta forma de contacto (interesado en algo que uno vende) nunca la había visto, sino las típicas de alguien que le dejan una herencia, mi caso de hace un tiempo fue este:
Hello Friend,
This is a life time opportunity and 100% legitimate. We quite understand you might be skeptical about this message due to the rapid of false organization in the internet, so because of that my wife and I decided to make it known to the world by publishing it on the news. However, Violet my wife and I have decided to make sure this is put on the internet for the world to see and to ease your skepticism. For so doing you do not need to be skeptical about this donation to you. My wife had cancer and as you could see from the webpage, am not getting any younger and you can imagine having no kids at this age. You see after taken care of the needs of our immediate family members, we decided to donate the remaining of the $11 Million to other individuals around the world in need, the local fire department, the Red Cross, Haiti, hospitals in Truro where Violet underwent her cancer treatment, and some other organizations in Asia and Europe that fight cancer, Alzheimer's and diabetes and the bulk of the funds deposited with SANTANDER BANK PLC, the payout bank of this charity donation. We have kept just 2% of the entire lottery sum to our self for the raining day.
To facilitate the disbursement process of my charity donation to you, One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00USD) which have been donated solely to you, please send us your contact address and a Valid Identification(i.e. either Driver's License/International Passport of yours) and your bank information, so that we can forward your details over to the payout bank. We are hoping that you will be able to use the money wisely and judiciously over there in your country. We will employ you to do what you can to alleviate the level of poverty in your region and also try to enhance the standard of living of as many people as you can because that is the only objective of donating this money to you in the first place.
I like to re-assure you of the legitimacy of these services as we will not be involved in any fraudulent act and will never be. We will advise as you as the "Sole Beneficiary" to be calm not to loose this great opportunity which millions of people are trying to entangled but the chances just couldn't come for them because a lot of people are out there to discourage them as they don't know how it works, and have never seen such before.
Sorry to inform you that I lost my wife last year due to cancer illness, though we started the drive of donating the fund but unfortunately I lost her along the line. And i am left alone to do this, but her memory still lives in me. So just try and get this donation soonest because know body knows tomorrow as I am not getting younger everyday.
Thank you for accepting our offer, we are indeed grateful. God bless you.
Best Regards,
Allen and Violet Large.
Básicamente diciendo que me quieren dar 1,000,000 de dolares y que lo único que necesito es como tener una cuenta, me seguí comunicando con ellos para ver hasta donde llegaban y les proporcioné unos datos falsos, luego de ello me dieron el "contacto" de una persona del banco santander para que me comunicara con ellos para poder aperturar una especie de cuenta bancaria para que ahí me pudieran depositar el dinero. La estafa en este caso era que para abrir una cuenta en el banco santander necesitaba hacer un depósito inicial (como aquí que uno tiene que depositar $25) pero en este caso las tarifas de ellos son las siguientes:
We have already received a reference from Allan and Violet Large to transfer the One Million Dollar ($1,000,000.00 USD) to your account, for us to be able to make the transfer as it is a big sum of money your are required to open an offshore online account with us so that we can commence on the transfer of your funds from the online offshore account to your nominate account. We are responsible for the transfer of Allen and Violet donation to humanity. So we have various type of account with their initial deposit. You are to choose from the following type of account listed below and have the online application form filled so that we can proceed;
A. Transit Account, the initial deposit is £470 GBP
B. Savings Account, the initial deposit is £390 GBP
C. Checking Account, the initial deposit is £590 GBP
D. Cooperate Account, the initial deposit is £775 GBP
E. Platinum Account, the initial deposit is £920 GBP
Y bueno, para no hacer largo el cuento, al final me salió con que debía enviarle el depósito inicial del tipo de cuenta que quería aperturar por western union o algo por el estilo y me pasó sus datos, que obviamente no eran los del banco, e inclusive al decirle yo que aquí solo usabamos dolares el amablemente me envió el equivalente en libras esterlinas para la cuenta platinum. Al final inclusive, como les di mi número telefónico, me estaban llamando, y en un momento les contesté pero se oía bastante interferencia y no se entendía bien su ingles por lo cual corté la llamada y finalmente les dije una paja que los había descubierto y eso, pero el punto es que bastante sorprendente todo lo que pueden llegar a hacer estas personas con tal de estafarte.
