THANKS for.the warning. Their next move is to send $980.00 for anti-money laundering clearance. Mr Peter Bristow who works with First Citizens Bank is involved.
We will point out that First Citizen Bank, the World Bank and Microsoft, and any employees thereof, have no connection with this scam. The scammers will use genuine employee names in order to give the scam some authenticity but check the email address – pbristowjr-firstcitizensbank@mail.md – Would First Citizen bank be using a generic email domain based in Moldova?
