Scam Money Transfers: Samuel Christopher, Investec Group of Company
Scam Money Transfers - Money Secretly Pilfered from Accounts
Example - Samuel Christopher, Investec Group of Company
Have you received an email from a investment manager or bank official, "Samuel Christopher" at "Investec Group of Company",
claiming that he has found a "dormant account" or money from a deceased customer
with no next of kin, or no will, and he needs you, a foreigner to help him take
the money, to keep it from being turned over to the bank or government?
If the pigeon English in this email fooled you, you must have
gone to a lousy school as a child. This email wouldn't fool a 10 year old!
It is a scam. Even if it weren't a scam, it would be a felony,
fraud and theft. But it is all nonsense, a scam made up to get money from you.
See the example below, an actual email from the scammer, sent to a victim.
The scammer intends to to get hold of your money instead, by conning you into sending money for various "fees" to free the
"funds in escrow".

Note some of the obvious scam clues that we have
highlighted in the email below,
such as excessive/incorrect use of CAPITAL letters, terrible spelling, grammar
and punctuation, the use of free email accounts rather than a domain and website that
matches the company's name, etc.
