*************************
Thanks for acknowledging the receipt of the fund,it was our account department that made the mistake in paying you the amount you received (54,900.00 pounds) as against the invoice amounts of (12,895.63 pounds) based on the quotation supplied to them they thought your company is the only one supplying all our UK order.Here is the account details for the transfer of the difference (42,004.37 pounds)today via CHAPS (SAME DAY CREDIT) less bank charges of (25 POUNDS) to the below account details:

		<description>Ghassan al habuby strikes again !

received payment today of £52k,instantly picked up by the fraud department at the bank.

came across as a decent chap with a real requirement,fortunately my company does not ship products without payment being cleared for a month on proforma&#039;s,and no accounts nationally or internationally are opened like in the old days.

Beware all ! a 1% success rate puts a good wage in these fraudster&#039;s pocket&#039;s</description>

		<description>Hi &lt;a href=&quot;#comment-6542&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;@Daniel &lt;/a&gt; you could consult your local anti-fraud police, I suppose, but the Jose De Covey driver thing appears to be an international overpayment cheque scam, so it might be easier and it might waste less of your time just to ignore it or respond that you&#039;re not interested.</description>
