Another offer I am not able to refuse (wanna bet)

[Topper]

Hello and Greetings to you.

We have received information that the money you sent for a certain transaction about inheritance with your online partner was used for a scam operation and as that, you have been charged with an offence of being an accomplice to a scam operation that made an American citizen to lose over $200,000.

I have been charged to handle your case and prosecute you according to the laws and constitution of the United States. I understand the nature of the transaction but remember that the law is an ass – of which I see you are truly innocent.

Here is what I want you to do. First you must not disclose this email to anyone. If you do and this information leaks, I will find you personally and pass brutal judgement on you before I also go down. Secondly, You’d have to compensate me for my efforts in making sure that your file case would get missing and your original fund release will be done to you.

You know how corrupt the system is, and discarding your case file would also involve others who would assist me in making sure the cases is dead

As a result of this, I am giving you an opportunity to comply with I and my team to enable us execute this immediately. We know you are innocent, but all evidences are pointing that you sponsored the scam operation. Just to let you know, that we have all your correspondence with your partners and we have the only copy that has it.

You must make contact to us on the below details to guide you on how to obtain A Clean Criminal Clearance Certification, which will exempt you from all criminal records and grant you access to the original inheritance. You have 24hrs to respond to this notice.

Thanks
Paul Abbate
Deputy Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Who's been a naughty boy then!

This came in this morning and might be genuine, but:
- with a sending address like that, I'd be very suspicious
- I'm not, and never have been, a SKY Q customer!!

- I'm not, and never have been, a SKY Q customer!!

Well, I am not a grammar specialist, but I would interpret their starting sentence this way:

"We, as a valued Sky Q customer, are really interested in hearing your views..."

So it doesn't matter that you've never been a (valued) SkyQ customer, it just matters that they are.

BTW, as they want to be hearing your views, I assume they will be calling you!
(Unless, maybe, you hit the link...? )


BTW2. Funny job title, I think, "head of insight". But that is real, it seems from Google....

Greetz,

TBH, I didn't get as far as spotting that "dodgy" sentence because of what I said in my 1st post - but you are probably correct to point that out as well - and I have now reported the email to the UK National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) at this email address 'report@phishing.gov.uk'
