Dear oh dear oh dear.....

That "passport" is obviously a fake....you cant use a photo from a family party or home pic on your passport....if Phillip was born in 1945 (65 years old) then why is the pic of a 70+ year old? there is no watermark covering the pic and those stars are pasted from a graphics program. I have attached a sample of what a proper passport should look like...

also, the place of issue or birth is "TAXAS" ?

Even the text that hasn't been photoshopped over the page is wrong....last time I checked its not the United State of America!

Years are listed as 1945 not just 45...

Authority of "Passport Agency"?????? come on!

Even the words above the dodgy passport number and surname are spelled wrong....Passpport? Surame?

And the other document is not even the guy's surname, Van Persie is not Van Leeuwen last time I checked?

Tell you what, if anyone falls for this scam after seeing "official" documents like that, they deserve to be fleeced......and dont get me started on the text in the email.....The director of the bank is referred to as "Him" but the director's name is Miss Jane something....

I had better stop now, I'll be here all day......

Cheers

Chris

Chris,

You would be surprised. You only have to read 419eater and ScamWarners to see how badly people are driven by greed.

A typical example: http://www.newyorker.com/archive/200...PdDM_9eHmfPJCg
