Warning: This is a classic “advance-fee fraud.” Once you reply, the scammer will ask for personal details or “transfer fees.” Victims often lose thousands before realizing there is no $10.5 million waiting for them. Never share your banking information with strangers online.

Congratulations Beneficiary!!!

This is to officially inform you that we the members of world financial accounting, have verified your contract /inheritance/Compensation file and are very pleased to inform you that you're among the lucky individual selected to receive international ATM CARD...

Warning: This “ATM card” message is fake. It’s designed to steal your identity and money. Once you reply with your personal details, scammers can use them for identity theft or to commit financial fraud. Real banks never announce winnings by email or ask for personal data this way.

Hi,

Today, AI/Chip startup Chipmind is announcing launch from stealth with a $2.5M in funding...

Warning: This one appears like a corporate press release but contains tracking links that redirect to unknown websites. Clicking such links may install malware or steal login details. Fraudsters use fake tech updates or PR emails to lure professionals into phishing traps. Always verify company domains before clicking.

Dear Colleague,

It is a great pleasure to invite you to the forthcoming International conference which will be held from December 17th to 21st 2025 in New York...

Warning: This is a fake “conference scam.” Victims are usually promised free air tickets but later asked to pay registration or visa fees. Once payment is sent, the scammers disappear. If a conference sounds too generous, verify it through official academic or institutional websites.

Dear Valued Recipient

We are pleased to inform you that your email address has been randomly selected to receive a Premium Gold Mastercard worth €880,000...

Warning: This message pretends to be from the World Bank but is a scam. Real organizations never give random cash prizes. Replying means giving your identity to criminals or losing money to “courier fees.” The fake addresses and phone numbers are red flags.

Hello,

I hope you're doing well. If you have a project that requires funding or investors, please feel free to reach out...

Warning: This is a “fake investor” or “business funding” scam. The sender might later ask for “processing” or “legal” fees before funds are released. These scammers often disappear after taking payment. Always confirm investor legitimacy through verified business channels.


Final Thoughts

Fraudsters are always evolving with emotional pleas, counterfeit authority, and professional-appearing material. When you reply to any of these emails, your contact information will be shared with fraud networks and this will result in additional attacks.

Be vigilant, block spammy addresses and notify your email service provider of phishing. The awareness is the initial defense against fraud online.
