Beware! New scam..... (WARNING)

[Paul Bulpit]

It would seem that the 'I have found $12,000,000 in a dormant account but I need your help' scammers have reached a new low (or high, however you look at it) - I have today received THROUGH THE POST, in a smart, good quality envelope, from Kuala Lumpur with two personally licked Malaysian stamps on it, a very nicely printed letter offering me great fortune should I care to participate and reply.

Apparently, it says, the deceased account holder had the same surname as myself and I may be related (I don't think so!).

I therefore surmise that the potential for huge earnings has now spread to those unfortunates who do not even have access to the internet!

Day Hellos, I am Dr Debunka.

I work for the commission of visual demographic audible mandible commissions.

I have in my account 25,000 pints of beer that are trapped. The vault is sealed, and to release it, I require your sort code and account details.

Please reply, of it will get less fizzy.

Dear Dr Debunka,

I am so pleased to be able to help you. I will of course also expect some share of this liquidity in return.

My account details are as follows:
Name: Imastu Pid
Sort Code: 01-34-69
Account Number: 3456-7654

Let me now when you have taken the money.

Yours,

Hellos
