Youths being targeted in name of foreign banks
Mandi Ahmedgarh, September 21
Opening savings account in a foreign bank is no more a distant dream for anyone who wants to be duped by swindlers claiming to be organisers of SMS Sweepstakes, showering awards worth billions on gullible youths.
However, the unfortunate part is that you will be proud holder of the foreign bank account in the data of fraudsters only who will swindle the deposited amount soon after the dump.
As a part of their awareness drive, the police has cautioned the residents against depositing huge amounts in accounts opened in response to emails announcing fortunes and awards.
Investigations revealed that gangs of swindlers were out to allure gullible Punjabi youths to open accounts in foreign banks and deposit huge amounts on pretext of processing and freight charges for receiving fortunes running in millions of British Ponds and Dollars.
“A certified bank cheque will be sent to you, which you is required to log into your account in any of the local banks in your country for easy payment. Before this could be possible, you are requested to contact the paying bank gold assets financial by clicking here or copying and pasting the link on your internet browser,” is the communication received by those among thousands who happen to respond to emails announcing winner of one Million British Pound lottery by the World International Olympic Committee- SMS Sweepstakes London. The message is enough to prompt the youth to proceed further.
The link (http://174. 141.226.138/gaf/RegisterUser.aspx) when clicked opens a dialogue box seeking basic information about the prizewinner. Unlike majority of local bank, which may need some time in scrutinising and verifying KYC norms, the foreign bank declares opening of the account instantly.
“This is to acknowledge the receipt of your account opening credentials. Your certified bank cheque will be issued on your name within the next 72 hours,” a message from Alfred Jennifer Atkinson, claiming to be remittance officer is enough to enthuse the recipient to deposit a sum of £550 British pounds or its equivalent of equivalent of $860 USD.
“You are required to provide this office with the sum of £550 British Pounds or it's equivalent of $860 USD being the cost of the cheque freight from the UK to your home address. If you have any further question, kindly contact our Southern Africa representative Mrs Jose Braun,” the prizewinner is advised by Atkinson.
In case of delay, organisers continue reminding the ‘winner’ to proceed further to enable him or her claim the fortune, certified cheque for which had already been prepared according to them.
Showing concern over gullibility of youths, Rajesh Sharma, SHO has cautioned the residents against entertaining alluring emails and SMSes received from unknown sources.
