Maybe by finding your address on a website, maybe by lurking on a mailing list you participate in. Sometimes spammers just guess email addresses, combining parts of different addresses to see if a valid address results. It doesn't matter. Just ignore the scammer.

The committee has voted to proceed in waiving the fixed deposit to you despite your inability to come to the bank in person. This is because the documents with which you backed your claim are copies of the original documents issued to Mr. Gilberto Antonio in respect to this deposit. More so, you are the only person who have put up claim on this deposit which have laid dormant for over five years.

Henceforth, you are the beneficiary of the fixed deposit account (0021766388) and we shall take all necessary measures to transfer the money to you.

You are hereby required to pay the compulsory activation fee of six hundred US Dollars without which activation/transfer cannot be made.

The final step in this scam is to send the advance payment to an individual account in the Philippines. This account probably belongs to another victim of this scammer.

#282697 by SeanSam Tue Jan 26, 2016 8:38 pm
Oh Thank God i found this site!

Recently, I received an email regarding with unclaimed fixed deposit amount from a "so called" Mr. Arthuro Castro Valera who happened to be dead already and the fixed deposit amount of $4,600,000 remained unclaimed for over 5 years. The person who contacted me introduced himself as a branch manager by the name of John McGuire. He is on it's quest to claim the said amount with me as the one who will stand as the beneficiary, since no beneficiary or nominee declared during the deposit. To cut the long story short, I WAS SCAMMED! But luckily,when they tried to ask me about "activation fee", it sounds suspicious to me. I tried to inquire about scam that deals with bank account and i was able to read this thread that saves me from spending huge amount of money. This is the last email they sent to me: Dated today January 26, 2016(as of the making of this post)
