That Marie Holmes Foundation first contacted me on LINKEDIN telling me to contact her on "
[email protected]". This I did, and received virtually the same message as WARWICK YOUNG did, about sending me GBP 750,000 - except the Department E-mail address is "
[email protected]".
Following that I received a lengthy reply from Mr Deep Roberts, Chief Financial Officer, Online Transfer Unit, Tel no. +46840304733, basically telling me it was all legitimate and that the funds were ready to be transferred to me on submission of my details.
My intuition made me investigate first before I sent off all the information he asked for. Plus the fact that as soon as I sent off the email to Deep Robert, an error/warning message appeared on my laptop w.r.t. this being a scam.
Fortunately I found this website and now realise how I was nearly conned. It all seemed so genuine compared to other scams I've seen.
Moral of the story - never give out your personal details via email or the internet.
