After I have sent a message to the Contact Person Mr. Mark James by the Email:
mr-markjames22@8u8.com I get back the next mail.
Attn: A.G.C. de Ruijter,
We are in receipt of the information provided and after conducting our vetting exercise, you have been discovered to be the actual winner.
For the immediate release of your funds, you are required to contact our paying bank, whose head quarters is the United Kingdom. Find below the contact details of the bank:
Halifax Bank Limited (Head Office)
The Mound, Edinburgh-Eh11YZ
United Kingdom.
After all I get all information from this bank what means that they take the message seriously.
Tomorrow morning I write a message to that bank for (I think) this mistake.
The thirth message I received was from the Halifax Bank Plc.
They wrote to me:
Halifax Bank, is one of the most efficient commercial bank in the United Kingdom, we are aware that blablabla
I am Mr. Thomson G. Frey, The international manager of Halifax Bank, United Kingdom. And the transfer officer designated for your funds transfer.
He told me that they are informed about the lottery winnings
Do they know about the problems?
Whoever responded to you does not really work for Halifax Bank. It’s just someone pretending to be the “manager” of the bank so that you’d believe this is the real thing.
