Starting Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Re: is this scam? Yep, my friend, I do strongly believe this is a very nice piece of scam. They put a lot of "look-a-like professional" text in the letter and added "necessary secret passwords" with couple of "professional jargon words" to give you the impression they're serious guys from very serious bank. Wouldn't be surprised if one clever boy from Nigeria (you know those "nigerian letters" sometimes we receive) was spamming this to dozens of hundreds of people with spamming machine. The reason? To get your personal data and in the end to steal your money from Visa or whatever bank account. My suggestion is to forget about it and to put its sender into the black list.
