We want you to understand that here at Scotia Bank our top most concern is to serve you better in terms of security.

We want you to understand that this is an international transaction and the sum of RM 36.00 cannot be received by you because it was insufficient to be approved by our database and it's the International Banking Policy.

Therefore, we urge you to REFUND the balance of RM 500.00 making an instant transfer to our agent account via bank transfer or ATM machine CDM and send us the copy of the transfer confirmation/receipt for verification so that the total sum of RM 536.00 would be unlocked and credited into your account immediately.

It's a definite scam. Banks do not put a hold on money that is being sent to people and there is no minimum amount that can be sent. Also, banks don't use free AOL email addresses.

Just delete the email and block the buyer and the fake bank. Do not accuse them of being scammers, just stop all contact with them.

Please do not tell scammers that they are listed here - it will take them seconds to change their fake details and their new details will not be listed for any future victims to find.
