The case on world renowned cyber-criminal , Kevin Amuche, 32 and Henrik Bialek, 40, have been tried and closed at the District Court of Basel-Stadt (Strafgericht des Kantons Basel-Stadt) last month after numerous rejected extradition appeals. They were apprehended at the Euro Airport, Basel while fleeing Switzerland federal authorities in an unrelated fraud case. The case was closed based on the following settlement terms; I. Court-ordered recovered from the defendants shall be converted into settlement funds and remitted to eligible affected victims, II. To be paid in full before end of sentence date.

We have thoroughly investigated the case with our Intelligence Monitoring Network System and found that you were one of the numerous victims through email correspondences between you two showing payments made by you, as well as telephone logs. Upon final evaluation of his assets after liquidation, he is said to be worth $28m stolen from approx. 96 victims.

The aforementioned defendants and their group of co-offenders used over 2000 aliases to mask their original identities, which is why you may not be familiar with the names used by this fraudsters. However, our records indicate that you have been a victim of fraud and/or identity theft because your contact details and personal information were found on several computer devices belonging to the defendants. Following court orders, this makes you eligible for restitution in the amount of £521,911.00 for damages caused by his crimes.

I have a question .... How do they know that I have opened it and read it ... if I have not replied to there stupid attempts to scam me....I've read it and then deleted it.

BTW ...The email didn't request a receipt to inform the sender that it has been received and opened.

It is common knowledge ' around the traps ' that some people ' sell ' email address to obtain some money..eg: Marketing companies will pay good money for email address to ' push ' their products. Unfortunately the information gets into the wrong hands and are used in the commission of soliciting Scams.

Do you use HTML in e-mail? If so, it's easy to tell if an e-mail is opened using an image for which a URL is embedded in the e-mail causing the image to be downloaded from the internet at the point when the e-mail is viewed. The URL for the image will uniquely identify the recipient - the destination IP address is also captured when it's downloaded. These images can be as small as 1-pixel and may be invisible.

To protect yourself, turn off automatic content download in e-mails or use text-only e-mail. Your e-mails will look weird, but they'll be safe.

Web bugs (as these images are sometimes known) are also used in web browser tracking (along with many other techniques such as browser fingerprinting).

OK....in that case I will just ' right click ' on the email and select ' block ' all emails from this sender....then delete it.

It's obviously a scam. Someone caught at an airport trying to flee the country? Some of the scammers obviously haven't updated for COVID :lol:
