... sounds like "Frank" lootin' !

[Pete/London]

They are not a scam, I heard from a lovely lady called Joy last week and opened an account in joint names with £10,000 she asked for and as of 3pm Monday 1/8/2011 I will have half share of £2.500.000 she has inherited.
I will send a postcard when I meet Joy on the Yacht on Lake Genevano more hard slog for me.

Hi

I have just been looted by Frank Luton he managed to swindle £1445 from me through my company trying to buy furniture and asking me to use a company called Movers Inc but requesting I do a Western Union cash transfer. Am just waiting for police to sort it out.

Very unlikely I will get my money back he as even payed me on credit cards goodness knows where he got them from. They are certainly not based in Tokyo these fraudsters are in the UK as they requested Money Transfer to UK

Thing is I was so foolish falling for this but was ill at the time and my guard was down. I got the same email from him.

Sorry to hear that Kathy Whatever made you think it could possibly have been a real transaction. Email scams like this are screaming SCAM to most people. I hope the police can find out more for you. Just because the payment was made to the UK does not mean it is UK based, I think a nice Nigerian probably emptied the account as soon as you loaded it.

I wish you luck in recovering any loss.
