So I get this email from a “supposed”, Ms. Cindy Pau who is the Managing Director and Head of Risk Management at Citibank Hong Kong Limited.

I guess I qualify as the next of kin for some dude that died on a sabbatical in France along with his extended family that this person was the account for…blah…blah…blah. You know, the usual email scams BS.

I guess this person didn’t do a good enough job research this target to see who I am. 😂

Just got an email that made me feel all nostalgic.

Ahh, that good old days. When email scams were so fucking obvious, you never needed to think twice.

An email that reads…

My name is Ahmet. I'm a bank staff in a Turkish bank. I've been looking for someone who has the same nationality as you. A citizen of your country died in the recent earthquake in Turkey, he had in our bank fixed deposit of $11.5 million. 

My Bank management is yet to know of his death. If my bank executive finds out about his death ,They would use the funds for themselves and get richer and I would like to prevent that from happening only if I get your cooperation, I knew about it because I was his account manager. Last week my bank management held a meeting for the purpose of a bank audit to note the dormant and abandoned deposit accounts.  I know this will happen and that's why I'm looking for a solution to deal with this situation because if my bank discovers his death, they will divert the funds to the board of directors.  I don't want that to happen. 
 
I request your cooperation to introduce you as the kin/heir of the account as you are of the same nationality as him.  There is no risk;  the transaction is carried out under a legal agreement that protects you from infringement. I suggest we split the funds, 60/40 and 40 for me. I need this fund for my daughter's surgery so keep this info confidential. email me so i can provide you with more information. mailto:ahmetturkiye1974@outlook.com

@avoidthehack Thanks for the warning! 🚨 I hadn't heard about this new email scam, and it's good to know what to look out for. 😬 The fact that they're using pictures of people's houses to try to make the scam more convincing is just creepy. 🏠 It's a good reminder to be vigilant and not fall for these types of scams. 💡 And thanks for the tip about blurring or requesting removal of home addresses from Google Street View - I'll definitely look into that! 📸 #EmailScam #Sextortion #OnlineSafety

我何時在你的銀行開了戶口?竟然需要勞煩你發電郵提醒我要注意網上銀行安全?還是你電郵本身就是想作出犯罪的釣魚網站?

When did I open an account at your bank? Do I really need to bother you to send me an email reminding me to pay attention to online banking security? Or is your email itself intended to be a criminal phishing site?

私はいつあなたの銀行で口座を開設しましたか?オンラインバンキングのセキュリティに気をつけるように私にメールでお知らせをいただく必要があるのでしょうか?それとも、あなたのメール自体が犯罪的なフィッシングサイトを意図していますか?

This seems more sophisticated than normal scams, but the lack of a recipient list makes me think this was blasted to a lot of email addresses phishing for a response.

Wedding Inquiry 2025
Hi,
I hope everything is well?
We wondered if you might be able to help us with some information on availability and costs for full exclusive use of a venue for 3/4 nights in mid-late May / early June 2025 for our wedding.
We are also in need of a wedding planner to plan our wedding for us.
We'd love if would be able to send across the below info:
- 2025 May/June Availability (both mid-week & weekend)
- Exclusive rental costs for 3-4 nights (both mid-week & weekend)
- Max. Capacity (both for a wedding/event & in regards to on-site accommodation)
- If there is a wet-weather option included within the facilities
- If you provide catering in-house or if we have the option to use external caterers (& if they have to be preferred suppliers)

Is this an elaborate scam? I logged into my Office Depot account (separately, not via the link in the email), and I’m not signed up for anything AND my member number is different. WTF?

How do you know an online service you once signed up for with a specific email address has been breached? You start receiving phishing emails like this one 💡📧💻❗️

Don't know what service was breached, but I do know an email address I used somewhere has been leaked and sold somewhere, helping cyber criminals to send mass emails like these.

Hope no one clicks and falls.
