Hi
I am writing this to inform you people that I have received an email stating that I have won $1, 000, 000 from FIFA WORLD CUP as my email id has been selected. This email also requested for my bank a/c details which they can use for transfer of funds, however I don't think this email is authentic even though it states about an act (This is in accordance with section 13 (1)(n) of the international transfer act as adopted in 1993 and amended on 3RD July 1996 by the constitutional assembly. We want you to understand that you need to pay the (Cost Of Transfer) to enable us proceed with the transfer of your winning funds. )
It is not real and such mails should be blocked and the people who send such mails, just to make fool out of others should be arrested.these people demand for money as a COT (Cost Of Transfer) from innocent people and then cheat them.
This is completely defrauding and should not be entertained. People who are misguided after sending such emails should be paid some kind of compensation specially to those who have paid the COT money, thinking they'll get the prize amount and the organization like Barclay's should bare the expenses, because they are the people who's name is been used for delivering such messages.
Thank you
