Bank of Scotland Plc.

Bank of Scotland Plc was referenced in unsolicited emails that appear to be fraudulent or bogus.   Bank of Scotland is part of HBOS (Halifax Bank of Scotland) and is almost certainly not involved nor likely to approve the use of its name in the e-mails.  Scammers often use the names of legitimate banks, companies, governmental agencies and other organizations to make their claims seem legitimate. If you get an e-mail that is similar to one in our collection, you should delete it.  Do not contact the person and especially do not give out personal information such as bank account information or your social security number.  NEVER pay any fees of any kind.   Also, do not accept a check from this stranger and especially do not return a portion of the check .  If you are victimized by the fraud, there is not much that you can do.

Bank of Scotland Plc. example 2

Date: Fri, 5 Sep 2008 21:42:51 +0200 From: "union western" <wuagent001@nsk.biz> 

 Subject: RE.IMPORTANT Dear,

I wish to accost you with a request that would be of immense benefit to both of us. Being the cheif executive of corperate,executive director of Scotland Bank HBOS PLC here in United Kingdom, it is possible that we may be attracted to make fortune out of my customer situations, when we cannot help it, or left with no better option. The issue I am presenting to you is a case of my customer Mr.John Hughes, who was an Australian citizen and a Chemical Engineer by profession, he died since 1996, before his death, he willed a fortune to his next-of-kin. It was most unfortunate that he and his next-of-kin died on the same day in the Sharja plane crash of Tuesday 10 February 1996 . I am now faced with confusion of who to pass the fortune to.

According to the English law, the fortune is supposed to be bequeathed to the government. However, I do not belong to that school of thought which proposes that the fortune of a deceased be given to the government. After a thorough investigation I discovered that Mr. John Hughes's has no other beneficiary and my investigation also proves that his company does not know anything about this account, the amount involved is thirty Million Pounds Sterling (Ј30,000,000.00).

My purpose of contacting you is to seek your acting as the beneficiary of the will, and lay claim the legacy of (Ј30,000,000.00) million pounds sterling, which my unfortunate client bequeathed to his next-of-kin. Everything will be left between you and I. The share would be 30% for you and 70% for I. I would like to take a part of my share to care of the needy and less privileged,as this is my primary objective. All I have to do is amend all file to make you the beneficiary to the (Ј30,000,000.00) million pounds sterling legacy.

Again, I feel that you may be apprehensive and consider this amount very huge for you to defend. It does not matter, as there are documents to back it up. I therefore appeal to you not to obsolete this request to anybody, even if you decline my request. Until I am sure of your consent and full cooperation. I would prefer that we maintain all correspondence by email and phone call.

At this point I want to assure you that your true consent, full cooperation and confidentiality are all that are required for us to take full advantage of this opportunity. I look forward to hear from you soon.it will be my best interest for you to reach my on my private email, mrpeter.cummings@yahoo.co.uk

Yours truly, Mr Peter Cummings Chief executive of corprate, Bank Of Scotland Plc. Tel: +44 70 45 784271 Alternative mail box mrpeter.cummings@yahoo.co.uk
