What do you guys make of this?
this guy emailed me, and I replied...dumb i guess. i emailed this security unit with dormant bank details, they've sent back this letter.

APPROVED LETTER OF GUARANTEE/ASSURANCE

This is to notify the due authorities, that we have verified and confirmed the due claimant . This is in line with the due referencing agencies (Equifax Europe and experian Europe) and the database of the dormant account unit of the financial service authority UK.

The above name claimant should furnish the due scanned identification, e.g. scanned passport or drivers license for legal authentication of identity of , for further issuance of the ESTATE DEBIT CARD in his or her name for further issuance of her PAYMENT PROTECTION COVER for the estate activity to commence.

We await your due identifications, so we can issue your estate debit card in your name and further directives of covering your PAYMENT PROTECTION ADDITIONAL DEPOSIT CODE.

For International Monetary control board
Mr. John B. Valley
Chairman

The letter has stamps etc on...but i'm thinking that its a scam.

Hi Adl125, welcome to the eater, yes, that's a typical scam email scripted reply, you will have to pay fees to the fake security company for the release of the non existant debit card etc, can you post the full email headers, please, as well as the initial email with headers that you received from them.

Posted: Tue Jun 26, 2007 12:12 pm

the due authorities,
the due claimant,
the due referencing agencies,
the due scanned identification,
your due identifications,

This is duly a scam.
Apart from anything else there is no such organisation as the International Monetary control board, apart from in the mind of some dumb scammer.

hi all thanx for the replies. I told this guy that i believe he is scamming me, and boy did he go insane, i received 15 emails in 30minutes. below are all correspondence from the start....
This is a life opportunity for me.

Please be patient and read carefully and understand that I have access to a dormant estate which is going to be diverted to illegal charity firms, by dodgy UK financial officials in Power. (This is in line with the NEW PRIME MINISTER OF UK GORDON BROWN'S DIRECTIVE OF DECLINE OF DORMANT /UNATTENDED ESTATES TO CHARITIES, WHICH ARE STILL LINKED TO CERTAIN PERSONS IN APICAL FINANCIAL POSITIONS.

PLEASE READ THE ATTACHMENT HERE IN, FOR EXPLANATION OF THE CHARITY MANDATE.

Barclays has announced the terms of a deal with its Dutch rival ABN Amro to create the world's fifth biggest bank with 47 million customers around the globe and a stock market value of �85bn.

The combined bank will be headquartered in Amsterdam but will drop any reference to the Dutch bank's name and be known as Barclays.

More than 23,600 jobs are at risk from the 217,000 combined workforce as a result of the record-breaking deal which was announced this morning after more than a month of intensive talks and despite an attempt by a Royal Bank of Scotland-led consortium to offer a higher, break-up deal to the Dutch management team.

Article
However, a meeting scheduled between the RBS-led consortium - which includes Santander of Spain and Fortis of Belgium - has now been postponed. It had been scheduled for 2.30pm today but the consortium is asking for more information about a deal arranged by ABN Amro to sell its US business La Salle.

By announcing a side-deal to sell LaSalle to Bank of America, ABN Amro is raising $21bn (�10.5bn) which then allows it to redistribute ?12bn to shareholders of the combined group. But, La Salle is the part of the Dutch bank that RBS is particularly keen to buy through its three bank consortium.

The consortium said yesterday that it needed to understand the terms under which this sale could be terminated. "The banks [in the consortium] are requesting this information today. Accordingly the banks do not consider it appropriate to meet with ABN Amro today," the consortium said.

Under the terms of the world biggest financial services transaction, Barclays is using 3.225 of its own shares to buy one ABN Amro share, which values each of the Dutch bank's shares at ?36.25 (�24.60) - more than the ?34 that many City analysts had thought the British bank would be able to pay.

The deal values the Dutch bank at �45bn which combined with Barclays stock market creates an institution worth around �85bn.

If the deal goes through, Barclays would own 52% of the combined business and ABN Amro 48%.

Barclays shares were down 21.5p at 728.5p in mid-afternoon trading.

The transaction is a key plank of the ambition of the management of Barclays to make the bank a major player in the banking world. Without the deal, Barclays is the world's 15th biggest bank and Britain's third largest. If the deal is successful if will
allow Barclays to leapfrog RBS to become Britain's second biggest bank and the fifth biggest in the world.

It allows John Varley, Barclays' chief executive, to take the helm of a bank that will rival Citigroup, Bank of America and HSBC on the global stage. He will be chief executive of the enlarged group while Bob Diamond, the �22m a year American investment banker who plays a key role in the British bank, will remain as president of the combined group.

I NEED A PARTNER, WHO I CAN MAKE A BENEFACTOR IN INTERNALLY, AS I HAVE SECURED ACCESS TO DATA FOR US TO MAKE SOME WELL DESERVED FORTUNE.

Hello xxxxx,

Thanks for the prompt response, as time is not our friend in this project. I will answer your questions individually below:

1)i got your details from the credit reference agency attached to the firm i work with in the UK SFT INVESTMENT UK.

2)All we have to do is for me to endorse your name internally in the database of the firm and you contact them with the reference number estusa04/0715. With this they will on the dormant account record that you are the beneficiary of the dormant account.

One again thank you for replying, but honestly,

My name is Phil A Bradshaw and i work in the decline unit of SFT INVESTMENT UK and the g8 meeting last week in Germany, has brought about a directive of which the USA government have already pledged 80bn.USD to Africa from these dormant accounts of Americans.

Also the new prime minister of UK Gordon Brown has mandated the same diversion of inactive/dormant funds be declined to charity.The issue here is that, surprisingly i found that one of the files i processed to a charity firm in Denmark, actually went back to a government official, being that cousin is the head of the charity firm.

Thus i decided to actually work on this other file worth 15million USD. It is off books and bound for charity, but if a claimant comes forth now, it will not go to charity. THIS IS WHERE YOU COM IN, AS I WILL IMPUTE ALL NEEDED DAT WITH THE AUTHORITIES HERE AND YOU DO THE CONTACTING AND PROCESSING OUT TO YOUR ACCOUNT.

Con i call you , as i want us to get a progressive stand by end of this Friday xxxxx

With utmost good faith

Phil

I just find it peculiar as I'm not from the UK so how would they have my details?
How do you endorse my name?

Quote:

Dear xxxxx,

The fact that you are not UK NATIONAL MAKES IT BETTER FOR US, AS WE HAVE TO LEAVE NO TRACES.

Due to the fact that i work with this decline unit of SFT INVESTMENT LTD UK REGISTERED IN BELPER DERBYSHIRE UK( CONFIRM THIS VIA www.checksure.co.uk). I have access to data of dormant accounts and the charity destined accounts, so therefore i have my legal attorney who will endorse your name with the high court and i will do the imputation.

No to worry i assure you that i will do my part well,as i know better not to leave any stone unturned after we move the funds.

Please i appreciate your prompt response and if you wish i will send you the proof of the estate and the online access for your well needed TRUST.

Good morning xxxxx,

Estate Debit Card Protection
Over 130,000 estate credit/debit and store cards are lost or stolen every day in the UK. In the latest report commissioned by the Government, estate debit card fraud now accounts for a staggering �411.6 million a year, of which Internet credit card fraud accounts for �109.6 million a year. However, only 3% of stolen cards are used to make fraudulent purchases. Credit card fraud is a significant problem and the Home Office UK has undertaken a number of initiatives with credit card issuers to reduce the problem.
However, as a credit card owner there is something you can do yourself to reduce the risk of fraud being committed on your credit cards. The low proportion of cards being used fraudulently after they go missing indicates that many people realise that it is essential to report the loss immediately so that a stop can be put on the card and any fraud attempt can be blocked.

What does Credit Card Protection Insurance cover?
If you lose your credit card or it is stolen it can be frightening experience but you need to react quickly and calmly. A good debit card insurance policy will provide you with a single number to call and one reference number to cover all the cards you specify.
This may be particularly applicable if you decide to go on holiday and are the victim of a theft. Police forces and judicial systems abroad vary from one country to another. However, all countries experience the same problems arising from the fraudulent use of credit cards. You may find some travel insurance policies will provide you with some cover for lost or stolen items such as bank or credit cards, but it is far safer to talk directly to a debit card insurer and have your cards de-activated and then replaced to reduce your financial exposure to the theft.

Unlock your dormant accounts – before the Government does

Last Updated: 12:01am GMT 04/11/2006

Nina Montagu-Smith reports on the assets that Britain has forgotten Now the Government is planning to grab some of the billions left in dormant bank accounts, it makes sense to check without delay if any of these forgotten funds belong to you.

All at sea: seek out your forgotten assets before the Government claims them

People lose touch with their money for many reasons. Some move house and forget to notify the provider, or the provider is taken over and changes its name. In many cases, owners of financial products die, having lost vital documentation and relatives simply do not know that these assets exist. The Government recently announced its intention to use unclaimed money in dormant bank accounts for charitable purposes. This is undoubtedly a noble cause, but some rightful owners may prefer to decide for themselves what to do with their money.

It is thought that there is around �5bn in dormant bank accounts, although some claim the true figure is as high as �20bn. The Government wants to have access to funds in accounts that have been unused for at least 15 years. On top of this, there is �3bn lying in unclaimed personal and occupational pension schemes, around �1bn in matured life policies that have not been claimed, around �2bn to �3bn in National Savings products and �3bn in unclaimed shares, dividends and unit trusts. The Unclaimed Assets Register, through which you can trace lost assets, claims these figures are conservative estimates.

Keith Hollender, managing director of the Unclaimed Assets Register, said: "Some in the pensions industry say assets in unclaimed pensions could be as high as �20bn. It is very hard to say for other assets – there are unclaimed Government gilt-edged securities going back 300 years, for example." If you think that you or someone you know might have lost touch with a deposit, bond or policy, you should fill in a form available from the Unclaimed Assets Register (contact details below). It costs �18 to do a search, 10 per cent of which is donated to the charity Sharegift. The process usually takes five days, although you should allow 20 days. About 80 per cent of the UK's life companies are registered with the scheme, and the register is in talks with those which are not. If you know the name of the life office which issued the policy, it is best to contact that company in the first instance. Mr Hollender said: "Many life companies have merged or been taken over, so lots of people just don't know what their company is called now. If they have any old documentation, we can tell them the new name of the company and would suggest that they try there first.

"However, we can search without that information. Our premise is that people have lost their documentation or they cannot find the company." It is useful if you can provide any previous addresses, names and dates of birth which might be relevant to the missing assets. National Savings & Investments (NS&I) operates its own tracing service as well. Most unclaimed money at NS&I - �730m - lies in National Savings Certificates. It is important to claim these as soon after they mature as possible, as the interest rate paid on them after maturity tends to fall.
Again, try to be ready to state the type of savings account, previous name, addresses and date of birth. NS&I aims to complete a search within one month, but you should allow up to two months.
NS&I says there are 455,000 unclaimed Premium Bond prizes worth a total of �26.4m – one prize alone is worth �25,000 – so it is worth checking you have not missed out. More than �100m more lies in dormant Premium Bonds that have probably been forgotten about. You can complete a search for Premium Bond prizes on the website or by calling the helpline. Even if you find you have an unclaimed prize, you will still need to write to NS&I, as your signature will be required.
Mark Brooks, a spokesman, said: "NS&I set up the tracing service so that savers have a one-stop shop to help find lost or forgotten accounts or bonds.

"We are keen to reunite people with the funds they have invested with us if they feel they have lost touch. We urge our savers to inform us of any change of address when they move home so we can keep in contact." So far, NS&I has reunited 33,000 people with missing savings worth more than �30m. The Government's Pension Service also runs a tracing service which can track down occupational pensions. Unlike the Unclaimed Assets Register, it cannot tell you if you are a member, but it can give you contact details for the pensions administrators of your old employers. A spokesman said: "If you think you may have an old pension, but are not sure of the details, the Pension Tracing Service can usually help by tracing it for you. "It can be easy, for instance, if you have changed jobs a number of times through your working life to have lost contact with a previous employer and their pension scheme. "The Pension Tracing Service has access to a database of more than 200,000 occupational and personal pension schemes and can be used, free of charge, to search for a scheme. "We may be able to provide you with an up-to-date contact address for a pension scheme and you can then use this information to contact the pension provider to pursue any financial entitlement."

DEAR xxxxx,

WHEN I WAS SERCHING FOR A PARTNER, I DID CONTACT ABOUT 6 EMAIL ADDRESSES AND DID NOT RESPOND BACK WHEN I GOT YOUR REPONSE, AS I DID NOT NEED ANY FURTHER CONTACTS. I MADE THAT EMAIL OUT OF DESPERATION TO GET SOMEONE TO WORK WITH ME.

I DIDI NOT SAY ANYTHING TO YOUR FRIEND AND THERFORE HE OR SHE CANNOT COME NOW AND MESS THINGS UP, BECAUSE I RECEIVED THE SAME EMAIL FROM EUROPEAN ECONOMIC UNIT.

PLEASE GET BACK AS ALL IS GOING WELL AND AT THIS POINT THIS NONSENCE SHOULD STOP PLEASE, AS I TRIED CALLING YOU BACK BUT NO RESPONSE. WHY DO YOU DISCUSS CORRESPONDENCE WITH ANYONE. IT IS ONETHING FOR THEM TO HAVE THE FIRST EMAIL, IT IS ANOTHER THING FOR ME TO PROCEED WITH THEM AND GIVE THEM ACCESS TO THE FUNDS( LIKE I HAVE DONE TO YOU)...PLEASE THINK ABOUT THIS NOW AND CALL ME, AS YOUR FRIEND IS NAIVE ADEL.

PHIL
