Report Summary
Date Reported	26th September 2004
Apparent Sender	International Remittance Department
Return Address	jeff khumalo <jeffinternationalremittance@mail.co.za>
Subject	ACCOUNT NEEDED FOR FINAL TRANSFER
Format	Text
Method	A simple variant on the 419 style of scam - uses the promise of money to lure victim and trick them into giving away their bank details.
Bogus Web Content?	No
URL of web content	N/A
RISK LEVEL	MEDIUM
WARNINGS	1. A simple variant on the 419 style of scam. Scammer claims to be a lawyer who has 'funds' to transfer to your account for some reason. For this of course he needs you account details.. Don't be fooled by the simplistic approach! Just another scam to try and get your bank details 2. Targets individuals by name, so be extra careful. They have probably picked up your name and email off the internet (criminal gangs even sell lists of Pyapal/email users to scammers!), so don't be fooled into thinking that just because it is addressed to you by name that its not a scam!

If you have received this email, please remember that it is very common for these email scams to be redistributed at a later date with only slightly different content or the same but with the fake page(s) hosted by a different provider. Also, once you have received one of these hoaxes, it is also common place to receive at least another one and usually a day or two after the first, although not necessarily from the same apparent sender.
