Due to the high level of corruption in Nigeria, your fund has been deposited in our bank. from now on do not respond to any email coming from the central bank of Nigeria or other agent
The creditability of this email was lost the second you read the words … Bank Central Bank of Nigeria …
Actually, that’s not true. It was shot down the moment we read the subject line of the original email message –
Payment Authorization for Immeediate Release
This is not a professionally written letter that came from JP Morgan Chase Bank. One can easily tell this from the numerous spelling, capitalization and grammatical errors within the text. The use of the JP Morgan name is simply an attempt to give the email creditability, which it fails at miserably.
To see just how pathetic this email attempt is, check out this screen shot of the chasebank-nyc.com domain. That certainly does not look like JP Morgan Chase Bank to me.

There are people who purport to be from the UK who offer investment opportunities using a fake bank called Investment Merchant Bank who say theat they are a subsidiary of JP Morgan Chase and try to solicit advance payments for their ‘investment’. They use a gmail account that routes through to Investment Merchant Bank of email address . A Mrs Susan Lewis is the main operator . Please beware as this is a pretty shappy 4189 scam!!
