11th May 2020 - Advance Fee Fraud Scam

On 11th May 2020, telephone number +442031298043 was reported as being used by scammers to pretend to be Ian Walter working for Metro Bank PLC using email address waltermetroprivbankinguk@gmail.com as part of an Advance Fee Fraud Scam.

The scammer will often pretend to be real people or companies, use fake websites and introduce various characters, all with the aim of convincing the victim that what is being offered to him is real.

Here is the email that the scammer sent to his victims.

Sir,

Re: Swift

Listen I am the Director in-charge of Metro Bank PLC, sir after a serious thought I decided to tell you the truth of the matter behind this transaction and to executive a business Deal with you because my spirit accepted you but please you must assure me that you keep this secret, I got your details from the IMF and the world Bank delegation as they submitted the payment file for transfer to your account but and after much verification I discovered that is not for you though in your name but decided to tell you the truth and do the Deal with you.

To be sincere this is not your Fund and you know that quite right BUT I can handle it if you can work with me because the International Monetary Fund and the world bank delegation have approved the it as one of the unpaid and suspended payment in our treasury that must be released in order to assist individuals and contractors in their business investment and to overcome the setback by the Chinese Coronavirus, so as a result of this good opportunity to complete the transaction and benefit from it as I have arranged all the modalities to release the fund to your bank account through our reserve in America to avoid trace, I know the opportunity is there for us, because “No business Opportunist ever lost, if you fumbles it, your competitor will find it”.

Think of it and trust me as your brother and friend for telling you the truth you need to know, I will arrange the documents and present you as the real owner/beneficiary of the fund with all the claims documents of the fund in your name as the beneficiary, therefore I want you to provide 2 different bank accounts for the transaction, you will have 50% of the money while 50% comes to me, I will prepare an MOU for the transaction which you will sign for me as we proceed in order to bond ourselves in the transaction which will take few banking days to be completed as we commence.

So if you are interested, fill the attached form and contact me with your personal/Bank details for to enable us proceed, call me on 44 203 129 8043, I will send you my id once I hear from you.

God Bless you,

Ian Walter
