Crimestoppers, a registered charity,

Update on scams that I have been notified of from members:
‘ NOTICE OF BEQUEST
On behalf of the Trustees and Executor
of the estate of Late Engr. Luther Schroeder, I once again try to
notify you as my earlier letter returned undelivered. I hereby attempt
to reach you again by this same email address on the WILL.
I wish to notify you that Late Engr.
Luther Schroeder made you a beneficiary to his WILL. He left some funds
and estate to you in the codicil and last testament to his WILL.
This may sound strange and unbelievable
to you, but it is real and true. Being a widely travelled man, he must
have been in contact with you in the past (through any medium) or
simply you were recommended to him by one of his numerous friends
abroad. Engr. Luther Schroeder until his death was a member of the
Helicopter Society and the Institute of Electronic & Electrical
Engineers. He had a very good heart and was a philantropist. His great
philanthropy earned him numerous awards during his life time. Late
Engr. Luther Schroeder died on the 13th day of December, 2004 at the
age of 80 years, and his WILL is now ready for execution.
According to him this money is to
support humanitarian activities and to help the poor and the needy in
the society. Please if I reach you this time as I am hopeful, endeavor
to get back to me as soon as possible to enable me conclude my job.’
I thought it wise to show the whole
document including spelling mistakes, as received by the Community
Contact member. My advice would be to delete this straight away. I
think this stretches the limits of a persons philanthropy towards
others. There are some legitimate firms who deal with this type of
case, however note that this is not actually addressed to anyone in
particular, if it was the real deal it would be addressed to you by
name. The email return address is also from a general email provider,
e.g. hotmail or yahoo not a company. All of these anomalies suggest
this is a scam. Delete it and don’t get drawn in.
Bank email scams:
There have more reports of emails being
received by members purporting to be from a bank, e.g. Halifax or
Barclays. The email claims to be from the security department, and that
they are committed to protecting you, and that an attempt has been made
to access your internet banking account. It asks that you click on a
link to confirm your internet banking details and if you do not your
account will be suspended.
Regarding this email, if you do not
conduct business with the ‘bank’ delete the email straight away. If you
do have an account with the named bank then go to their main website,
do not use the link provided on the email and give them a ring to
confirm or deny that there is a problem. That way you have peace of
mind and then delete the email. It’s always worth informing the bank
that there are emails claiming to come from them doing the rounds.
Bogus call claiming to be from Pipex Internet Service Provider (ISP):
A Community Contact member received a
phone call from a male claiming to be from Pipex. The CC member was
suspicious as the male caller would give no reason for the phone call
but was insistent in requesting personal information from the CC
member. Eventually the CC member put the phone down and contacted Pipex
directly who stated that they had not tried to make contact. Be aware
and do not give out your personal details over the phone.
Third World Clothing Collections
Leaflets are currently being
distributed regarding clothing collections. I have received a couple of
emails from members about some of these leaflets as they are not from
charities and the donated clothes will be sold to the third world
country, not given. This is not illegal and the purpose of me wishing
to make you aware is simply that you need to read these leaflets
carefully and if you don’t like that your clothes will be sold, give
them to a local charity where your clothes will be donated.
