Hi, I am from Malaysia. I was post a hand phone on online for sale (mudah.my and lowyat forum) . Then, I got one buyer who whatapps me (forgiener) who want to buy the hand phone but unfortunately, the hand phone is not going to be sale( I already removed the ads) and I already send the message to buyer that the phone is not selling and don't make any payment, suddenly at night, the person message me that already made a payment and the person said that the bank will be send email to me about the transaction detail.Then, I was received a email form Scotiabank, form this email address <[email protected]>, so I asked the buyer to cancel the transaction but the person said cannot cancel because already made a payment and I send email to the bank with same email address. After that, they reply back that the payment cannot be cancel and second thing the person was force me to send the item. I was worrying about it, after that I was decided to copy and paste the email address in the search engines. Then I was found, it is was scam.

Dear;

We just got a mail and from Bank with a payment confirmation made for you by a buyer (christiana beatrice ), But you have been reported for been one of the internet scam.We were told that the payment has already been deducted from the buyer account and its ready to be credited into your account once you send the postage receipt to the bank for verification and this has already been solved between you and your buyer before he/she proceeded with the payment for you and you are trying to play smart and let your buyer lose his/her money which is not allow here and its very bad to do such a thing on the internet.It’s a stated part of our longstanding mission: “to provide leadership and criminal justice services to federal, state, municipal, and international agencies and partners.The FBI is committed to ensuring that victims receive the rights they are entitled to and the assistance they need to cope with crime. Treating victims with respect and providing them with assistance benefits victims and helps us build better cases. Our resources include an Office for Victim Assistance at FBI Headquarters and victim specialists nationwide.Crime in the United States (CIUS) is an annual publication in which the FBI compiles volume and rate of crime offenses for the nation, the states, and individual agencies. This report also includes arrest, clearance, and law enforcement employee data.

Founded in 1923 to enhance international police co-operation, officers from more than 70 countries now work side by side at FBI headquarters, and in its regional bureaus around the world.

Along the way, we help defend and uphold our nation’s economy, physical and electronic infrastructure, and democracy.There are a number of cases each year where the bank itself turns out to be uninsured or not licensed to operate at all. The objective is usually to solicit for deposits to this uninsured "bank", although some may also sell stock representing ownership of the "bank". Sometimes the names appear very official or very similar to those of legitimate banks

Wire transfer networks such as the international SWIFT interbank fund transfer system are tempting as targets as a transfer, once made, is difficult or impossible to reverse. As these networks are used by banks to settle accounts with each other, rapid or overnight wire transfer of large amounts of money are commonplace; while banks have put checks and balances in place, there is the risk that insiders may attempt to use fraudulent or forged documents which claim to request a bank depositor's money be wired to another bank, often an offshore account in some distant foreign country.

NOTE: Failure to Abide to this means your Name and bank account details will be forward to the law enforcement Agency in your area to get you Arrested, because you are practicing Scam, And all your Accounts with bank will be BLOCKED, In order to free yourself from this'' Send the item via DHL and send the receipt to the BANK E-MAIL so that you can have your money immediately. If you have any comment on this issue do not hesitate to contact BANK E-MAIL.

There is a very high risk of fraud when dealing with unknown or uninsured institutions.

The risk is greatest when dealing with offshore or Internet banks (as this allows selection of countries with lax banking regulations), but not by any means limited to these institutions. There is an annual list of unlicensed banks but this is not a crime as we have all the information and everything about this transaction.We are using the time to ask you to go ahead with any step that they ask you to take before we take legal action on you and you will be arrested and go to jail if you refused to proceed with what they ask you to do..We want you to contact the Bank now and give them all the necessary information that was requested from you before legal action we be taking against you..

NOTE:
Public corruption poses a fundamental threat to our national security and way of life. It impacts everything from how well our borders are secured and our neighborhoods protected…to verdicts handed down in courts…to the quality of our roads, schools, and other government services. And it takes a significant toll on our pocketbooks, wasting billions in tax dollars every year.

The FBI is singularly situated to combat this corruption, with the skills and capabilities to run complex undercover operations and surveillance.

it is true FBI?

Then, I was call to Customer Care Scotiabank +1 800-472-6842, it is toll free by using google talk. The cs said that the email address is not valid and the bank never sent any email to customer for any wire transfer so basically fake email, they don't have any bank branch in Nigeria, so the call that I was received it is fake and claim as Nigeria Scotiabank staff. Moreover, the bank never provide any shipment service. Then, I ask about the FBI email, the cs said that the bank never send any email to customer about FBI and the bank don't have any link with FBI.The cs asked me to forward those email without any change to [email protected].

The real Scotia Bank has advised you correctly. Do forward the emails to them. The other bank is a faker and so is their fake FBI. Banks do not act as "middlemen" for sellers and buyers in everyday sales. Sell to someone locally that you can actually meet and accept cash only.

#342413 by Bryon Williams Fri Oct 20, 2017 4:55 pm
Just ignore/block the scammer. He is playing both roles.

The fake bank is not using the real banks email address.

He is using a free email service like yahoo, gmail, hotmail, gmail etc.

^^^ You will not get a different answer no matter how many times you ask or rephrase.

STOP ALL CONTACT WITH THE SCAMMER. HE WILL ONLY CONTINUE TO LIE TO YOU.

THE REAL BANK OF AMERICA WOULD USE THEIR OWN APP. NOT A SOCIAL MEDIA APP.


Its only a threat it is part of the scam to steal more money from you.

Just ignore them and/or block them.


You can report it to the police.

There is nothing they can do with your bank account. But, you should notify your banks fraud dept.
