The reply I sent to Mr. Brown

Hi,

The bank sent me an email it is given below. Please let me know what should I do.

There are few important things that I noticed.

ONE: The actual contact numbers of this bank are in the following location. Real contact numbers The numbers in the email are not equal with these.

TWO: The email address given for contact is not the ones in the real banking site. Here is the URL.

Real email addresses

THREE: I couldn’t find the business address in the real website.

FOUR : Note that the email address that I received from the bank has .tf at the end. ( info@barclaysline.net.tf ) Have a look at the .tf definition in wikipedia.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.tf

I will let you know more info about this scam after the next reply from them.
