IMPORTANT WARNING – Popular Bank Scam now in Maltese!
Posted on 15. Mar, 2011 by Jes Darmanin in News, Security
It has just come to our attention, that an email with the popular “abandoned/unclaimed money” or also found in the form of “nigerian scam” is now also making it’s rounds in Malta, written in what I consider a really bad Maltese translation! This is a SCAM, and should not be taken seriously. We strongly advise to ignore any requests like the below.
This very popular email scam has been going around for years and thousands of people all over the world fell for it, losing massive amounts of money. Please forward this to all your family, friends and co-workers to make sure that no one else falls victim of such scam.
Check the email screen shot below, and if you see anything like it, just delete it.

Like Vince said, if you’re trying to scam me, at least don’t just use Google Translate. But hey, there’s one born every minute….
