Hello,


I have received a project of translation. This is a potential scam email: [email protected]

In his message, there were some spelling mistakes and ponctuation. This is an extract of some sentences:

"Am here in Madrid Spain and doing an historian research on France"
"Sorry i dont do paypal, direct deposit will be better"


He also asked a lot of things about my bank names.

Tell me what do you think about and if you have received such an email.


Thank you for your answers.


Best regards,

Thank you ! I have also received an email from Anne Thirwall, which is a scam. Maybe, it is the same crook with a different email.

These messages are sold on the dark web, part of the deep web. Unfortunately it is not a single crook.

Stay safe
