The fake "Ghana Commercial Bank" 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 impersonating the real person and who are attempting to trick their potential victims into sending them money or personal information.

"Ghana Commercial Bank" Advance Fee Scams Being Sent by Scammers
an anonymous user from: Honolulu, Hawaii, United States

I’m chatting with one manager in Ghana he wants me to increase my payment to $2500 to $3000 thousand dollars if I can’t I’m going to lose all my tax payment. In more than two two years he said the government wants to increase the tax for $59,900 I said when I have money I will come to Ghana to pay the taxes because I feel something is not right why the bank manager treating me like that; forced me to pay the amount that I can’t, is so sad losing all my payments in more than two years

Subject: MY GOOD FRIEND,

MY GOOD FRIEND,

My name is Mr.Michael Anderson, I am a newly promoted Branch Manager of a Bank here in Ghana, West Africa, I got your information during my search through the Internet.

It may interest you to hear that I am a man of PEACE and don't want problems, I only hope we can assist each other. If you don't want this business offer kindly forget it, as I will not contact you again.

I have packaged a financial transaction that will benefit both of us, as the Branch Manager of the Bank, it is my duty to send in a Financial Report to my head office in the capital city Accra at the end of each year.

In the course of the last year 2018 end of the year report, I discovered that my branch in which I am the Manager made excess profit of [US$12.5 Million dollars] which my head office are not aware of and will never be aware of. I have since placed this fund in a SUNDRY ACCOUNT.

As an officer of the bank I cannot be directly linked to this money, so this informed my contacting you for us to work together so that you can assist me and receive this fund into your bank account in your country for us to SHARE.

I am offering you 40% of the total fund, while you keep 60% for me in your bank account till I join you in your country for the sharing/investment of my own share of the funds or better still we can go into a joint partnership venture, I will appreciate it very much.

As soon as I receive your response through this Address(michaelanderson1034-gmail.com) I will give you more details on how we can achieve it successfully.

Yours Sincerely,
Mr. Michael Anderson."
