What are Bank Scams?

In this blog we'll do our part to help identify the unlimited amount of bank scams, lotto scams, and inheritance scams that we receive emails from on a daily basis. We'll provide lists of the actual scams we receive along with email addresses of those who send the supposed scams. These emails generally try to entice you to assist them in transferring a large sum of money for a generous return for your assistance. They pull on your "heart strings" and then ask for personal information such as bank info. or personal info. in order to assist you with helping them get access to the deserved funds. Reports show that these "Bank Scams" are quite rampant on the internet.

It has been reported that they then go into your account and either drain it or scam the bank of funds while leaving you holding the blame for the scam.

Some of these subject lines can appear quite appealing to many as they use trustworthy names such as lawyers, large companies, religious leaders, etc. It's actually appalling that someone could stoop so low as to use false names which are associated with trustworthy professions. They often claim you've been: awarded a large inheritance, selected as a lottery winner, or carefully selected as a trustworthy person who could assist them with their urgent need. Don't fall for these tricks. It can cost you thousands!

In this blog we'll list the bank scam emails we receive on a daily basis in hopes of giving you a means of identifying these scams and blocking these spammers. You can then add these addresses to your spam blocker to limit the amount of spamscammers you receive.
