Someone is continuing with the previous attempts to "bank scam" me and/or the Royal Bank is asleep at the switch. Either way it is useless to send me these emails as I have stated that I do not have an account with the Royal Bank. I have never had an account with the Royal Bank. I sent an email to the Royal Bank with the questionable email attached.
Now, in the email, the Royal Bank URL redirects to

ReplyDeleteDear... i need your attention,
I am the head of Accounts and Audit Department of Bank of Africa,
Ouagadougou .I decided to contact you after a careful thought that you may be capable of handling this business transaction which i explained below;In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of $1.5m US dollars (One million, five hundred thousand US dollars). In an account that belongs to
one of our foreign customer who died along with his entire family in 2003 in a plane crash. Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because we cannotrelease it unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation
to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines but unfortunately we learnt that his supposed next of kin(his son and wife) died alongside with
him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim .It is therefore uponthis discovery that I and other officials in my department now decided
to make this business proposal to you and release the money to you as the next of kin(We want to present you as his business associate )to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for
it and we don't want this money to go into the Bank treasury as unclaimed
Bill.
The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained Unclaimed after five years, the money will be transferred into the Bank
treasury as unclaimed fund. The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Burkinabe cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner .We agree that 30%
ofthis money will be for you as foreign partner, in respect to the provision of a foreign account, 10 % will be set aside for expenses incurred during the business and 60% would be for me and my colleagues. There after I and my
colleagues will visit your country for disbursement according to
thepercentages indicated. Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to your account as arranged, you must apply first to the bank as next
of kin of the deceased customer. Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text of the application. I will not fail to bring toyour notice that this transaction is hitch free and that you should not
entertain any atom of fear as all required arrangements have been made for the transfer.
I would want you to respond to my email immediately you read it for more details.
Hoping to hear from you immediately.
Yours faithfully,
Mr. Joseph Edward Duke
I'm rich, I'm rich!!

It seems like you've somehow gotten your name attached to a 419 scam mailing list.
ReplyDeleteI never get those emails, for some reason.
If nothing else, no one could say they're not persistent...
Thanks Ruthie...they love my blog!;)
ReplyDeleteRoyal Bank of Canada, (RBC Centura) : Corporate Bully I'm a commercial fisherman fighting the Royal Bank of Canada, (RBC Centura) over a $100,000 loan mistake. I lost my home, fishing vessel and equipment. I need your support to fight this corporate bully. RBC contacts are posted on my website http://www.corporatebully.ca Thanks, Paul Fraser.
ReplyDeleteThanks Paul.
ReplyDeleteI read your post and will send out this article with your link to some friends/family. I have had my issues with a large Canadian bank and realize that it can be very frustrating dealing with aggressive tactics.

I guess there are still a lot of suckers in this world who will try just about anything if it sounds like it will make you rich!
ReplyDeleteAlways remember: IF IT SOUNDS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, IT PROBABLY IS!
Don't get hooked!
Thanks, I agree.
ReplyDeleteThere are bank scammers, and as well, actual banks can be difficult to deal with at times.

ReplyDeletePaul, I hope all goes well. I had problems with CIBC over student debt, while I was still a student, and I know banks can bully.
