found this in my Junk Mail this morning

This is an automated message from our account department.

Unidentified sources became massive
Transfer deposits to your account several times,
and we are forced to freeze your account.
The last transaction received, in the amount of
$ 19,563.50, was created 4 hours ago.
To release your deposit, you must register immediately
and confirm that it is your means.

CONFIRMATION LINK

NOTE: You must release your account within 48H,
otherwise the transfer will be canceled.

Thank you for considering this.

Best regards,

Account Department.

Check the email address it came from to make sure it matches your bank (chances are the senders name does but the actual email address wont)

It definitely suggests scam whatever you do not click on the link.

I'm not trying to insult your intelligence but to enlighten others and hopefully help others who might not be so tech savvy in indentifing email scams :)

@SW-User i hear ya , when i first had the internet i was wet behind the Ears and it terrified me , my first scam letter was through a woman on EP so i kinda freaked out and told everyone on that site her user name and a copy of the scam email , the site warned me about mentioning other peoples user names on site and i sent an email to email cops but never heard peep from them , anyways now i'm more seasoned about scam crap and i also watched scam 419 on youtube , some Nigerian business scam good video though but sad ending

@NCCindy nah then i'd be receiving at least 10 million $

@FurryFace Good point ... must be the driver of some arch duke or something sending them out !!!

@NCCindy i'm thinking European , $ 19,563.50 is an odd amount for a massive transfer

I call it a scam, someone is trying to get your account info, plus, I haven't seen a bank use email for communication, they'd sent postal mail instead
FurryFace · 61-69, M
@CURIOUSINMO yeah i thought so too

Haha, if it was safe to message back I'd tell them I was flat broke and to hold their breath till I got rich enough to pay.
