Dear Friend,
I apologize if the contents hereunder are contrary to your moral ethics, but please treat it with absolute secrecy and personal courtesy.
I am Geoffrey Bell an Auditor of a commercial Bank here in the United Kingdom, in the process of auditing our bank accounts I and one of my colleagues discovered that there is a dormant account valued at the sum £18,700,000.00 (eighteen million seven hundred thousand British Pounds) and after due verification of this account we discovered that the account owner is late and that is why the account has been dormant and as such a £18,700,000.00 has been lying in the bank unclaimed. The idea of presenting somebody who is not related to our deceased customer to act as his next of kin came into our mind, that is how and why we have contacted you to present you as his next of kin, so that the £18,700,000.00 will be paid to you and we can both disburse the fund according to the percentage we will agree on.

Woow… I’ve always thought i live in a small country. But now i understand that the scams have no boundries. Today, these popups showed themselves from Errorsafe in fluently Norwegian .

“This is not a virus or a trojan. It is detected as a “potentially unwanted program.” It purports to be an system repair/maintenance application, but requires paid registration before any issues found can be fixed. Many of the “invalid” items found appear suspect. For example, a cookie from the winfixer.com domain was detected, along with several shortcuts that were pointing to valid existing targets. Although some detected items may be legitimate, the fact that clearly benign items are cited as problems is questionable. The primary function of the free version appears to be to alarm the user into paying for registration, at least partially based on false or erroneous detections. ” - Quote from McAfee
