Letter Source: This email appears to have originated in Italy, just as the email states. However, if you Google the IP address 212.216.176.143 and click on - Find web pages that contain the term "212.216.176.143" - you will see that this particular IP pops up again and again as one used by scammers. AGIP is a world-class petroleum company located in Italy, and has no need of any representatives to process their payments. Their products are purchased by governments and refineries through Documentary Letters of Credit and other secure international banking means. You may not, you cannot, deposit funds belonging to someone else into your bank account under the specified conditions. You are personally 100% liable for those funds the moment you do. To take funds for someone else's products or services is a criminal act called Diversion of Funds, and leaves you subject to charges of Money Laundering and Theft. Notice that this scammer goes straight for the Identity Theft element of the scheme. In order to process payments for a company, you can only open an account in that company's name on behalf of that company, payments must be payable to that company name, and the only one to withdraw funds from the account is the company. If you have the authority to withdraw funds from the company account, then you are taking personal liability and responsibility. ____________________________________________________ Find out where emails are REALLY coming from. |
