Fake "Financial Crime Commission Compensation" Emails Being Sent by Scammers
Online users who have received fake "Financial Crime Commission Compensation" emails like the one below, which claim they will receive thousands or millions of dollars in compensation, should delete the email messages and not follow the instructions in them. This is because the email messages are an advance-fee scam. This scam is a form of fraud and one of the most common types of confidence trick. The scam typically involves promising the victim a significant share of a large sum of money, in return for a small up-front payment, which the fraudster requires in order to obtain the large sum.
