just got the email..
Hey guys,
Well after many years of reading and watching PPRune, I have decided to make my first post..
Anyways, I just received the email from "Malaysia" that someone with my last name lost his entire family in the Gulf Air crash and now he has passed on and the "solicitor" requests to use my name to get the payout from the bank..a big number.... if i provide my name, i will get a precntage of the cut..
I called the number, but the gentleman I spoke to did not have the accent of a Malay, nor arab..given the name on the email..
How on earth do they get our contact info??? Because I called, he has my number on his phone now..
This is NO JOKE guys, its actually kind of scary when you think about it..
Just passing on the info to you all.
