Subject: [EXTERNAL]GET BACK TO ME ASAP !!!
We wish to inform you that a power of attorney was forwarded to our office
this morning, by two gentlemen regarding your unclaimed fund of $2.5
Million Dollar. One of them is an American citizen named Mr. Robert Porter
and the other is Mr. Wilhelm Berg, a Swedish citizen.
The document claims these gentlemen to be your authorized representatives,
and the power of attorney states that you are already deceased. It
further states that your death was due to lung cancer, with your date of
death being March 27th, 2019.
They have now submitted a new account to replace the receiving account
that was in the original claim of funds. These funds have remained
unclaimed for quite some time and the need for resolution is pressing.
Below is the new account they have submitted.
Account Name’s : Robert Porter /Wilhelm Berg
Account: 5007-29 438 66
IBAN-nr: SE4150000000050072943866
Bic-kod: ESSESESS
Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken. (SEB 🙂
SWEDEN .
In the event that you are in fact still alive, we ask that you confirm
your existence by responding to this email. You are to view this as a
matter requiring immediate attention and response. We have 48 hr
monitoring of all activities within the Federal Reserve Bank.
We have contacted the bank in Sweden asking them to wait for further
directives from the Federal Reserve Bank, prior to authorizing any
withdrawals in any form. Our request is based entirely on our attempt to
verify that you are in fact deceased, before money is wrongly disbursed.
Finally, we forewarn you that if we do not hear back from you shortly, we
will have to assume that you are in fact deceased and the Federal Reserve
bank will proceed with releasing funds to the above newly submitted
account.
Sincerely,
Robert Steven Kaplan
