Re: FUNDS TRANSFER – phishing email

Good day,

I hope you are doing well.

My name is Jason Harper. I would like to propose a legitimate
business to you and please take this seriously as this message is
not spam. I am presenting an opportunity that could significantly
benefit both of us.

I am a senior accountant with First National Bank of South
Africa, where I have worked for over 15 years. During this time,
I was the personal accountant for an American consultant /
contractor with Shell Plc Johannesburg (Mr. John Beaver) who held
an investment account at my bank.

Tragically, my client, along with his entire family passed away
in France while on sabbatical in the summer of 2015.
Unfortunately, he died without a valid South Africa will and
extensive efforts to locate his extended family have been
unsuccessful.

Last week, I received a notice asking me to identify the
account’s beneficiary within 21 days or the funds will be
transferred to the government. So I am reaching out to seek your
assistance in claiming the funds.

This process will be conducted in full compliance with South
Africa laws and success is assured if we work together. The bank
will release the funds to you due to my recommendation of you as
the beneficiary.

To demonstrate my commitment to this serious matter, I will
provide my international passport upon your response. The amount
involved is USD 23,500,000.00. I propose a fair split of 50:50.
Once I receive your reply, I will share all necessary information
regarding this transaction.

I look forward to your cooperation. Please treat this proposal
with the utmost confidentiality and urgency to ensure a
successful outcome.

If you are not interested, please delete this email.

Regards,
Jason Harper.
