Here’s a mind blower variant on the YANL. Check it out especially all the different bank names, places and variables.

It still maintains the basic fraud giveaways: Something offered for nothing. Too good to be true, for sure

It also has the telltale clues that these schemers use regularly: No Recipient name, improbable scenario, poor or stilted English.

HOW MANY CLUES DO YOU NEED TO KNOW IT’S A SCAM?

Anyhow, in 7 days they’ll know that someone is dead.

By the time we actually publish this, it won’t matter because, since we didn’t answer within the 7 day limit set in the email, they’ll know we, or some other unnamed party, is dead.

If they only published fewer scam emails we wouldn’t have such a long queue of them and then they may get a hint that someone who got their email is alive. Sorry.

(Note: We changed the numbers to protect the gullible.)
