Scamming - Fraud
The email message below with the subject: "Suntrust Urgent Account Notice," is a phishing scam. The email message was not sent by SunTrust Banks, Inc, an American bank holding company. The message was instead sent by cyber-criminals to trick potential victims into clicking on the link within the email message, which will take them to a phishing /fake Suntrust website. The phishing website looks exactly like the Suntrust’s website, which will trick a lot of Suntrust’s customers, who have received the fake email message, into entering their usernames and passwords on it. Once the victims have entered their Suntrust’s online account credentials (usernames and passwords) on the fake website, it will be sent to the cyber-criminals, who will use it to gain access their accounts, and use the accounts fraudulently.

To my latest surprise, After been ripped off so many times out of desperation of finding urgent help until my Best friend finally introduced me to a reliable hacker who she said helped in hacking her her husbands social media in order to find out if her husband has been faithful, and he did a perfect job,So I decided to give him a try, He didn't charge me for the job I gave him since then I made him my permanent hacker,his prices are so reasonable and considerate, I'm so thankful that's the reason I choose to recommend him to anyone who needs hacking services, you can contact him whitehats (@) cyber-wizard . com, Just let him know Mrs Anne referred you and make sure you patronize him.
I received an email telling me I won millions from another country. It said it was deposited in a SunTrust bank in New York. Is it real?
Ask yourself this, did you enter any game or lottery to win to millions of dollars. If your answer is no, then the email is not real or is a scam. And, remember, never send personal information or money to anyone who claims that you have won money. This is how scammers trick potential victims into sending them their personal information and money. Legitimate lottery companies will never ask you to do so.
