at 03:58 on March 9th, 2007
Following up on the above mentioned scam-mail. They "Barrister M. F. van Hoogen" and cronies, didn't ask for bank details ?? STRANGE, maybe they'd hit me for it later...I didn't get that far, thankfully.
They send out a scanned letter of authority with my name on it (Legal doc from the Netherlands)
He STRESSES that "This transaction is 100% legal and risk free " and I MUST contact the security co. to arrange things.
Oh When I replied saying I was going to contact my lawyer to verify the Certificate, I recieved a very preassured responce to 'not bother because my lawyer wouldnt know the laws of this (Nertherlands) country and just to contact the security co asap.'
Anyway I hope this may help anyone out there that might have been
sucked into one of these scams....Luckily I got scared, MONEY FOR
NOTHING??? Yeah Right!
