The fake Lloyd Bank PLC email below is a scam. Recipients are asked to delete it and should not follow the instructions in it. The fake email is being sent by scammers who are attempting to trick their potential victims into sending them money or personal information. An advance-fee 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.

this Joy OtI has been on my back for two months now, and threatens to divert my fund to somebody else because I won't pay the fee, well I do not have that fund owing to me and I have not authorised any on to claim it for me, it is not my fund, she keeps harping to make me pay for some fund that does not belong to me.
I am glad I checked this website today to have this SCAM identified.
Thank you so much well done.
regards from Rudolf Simonis in Australia

Mrs. Joy R. OtI e-mailed me the exact same letter with just one difference. Apparently she's not too good at this scam game as she's been 'demoted' to "Account Manager" from "Director of Operations," Lol!

Yes, I was contacted by this Joy Oti with the same offer to deliver a package with an atm card and a bank check for a fee of 295.00 dollars to be sent to their agent Ms. Ann Gummoe or Ms Meredith alley and they also informed me about this Mr. Laurent as being my representative to come and pick up this package which is also a scam as he has a warrant out for his arrest here in Anchorage.
