Dear Mr. Tirema
Tirema sure is a fitting name for you, as your ma did seem pretty tired when I got done fukin her last night. Anyway, thanks for finally contacting me. We have been looking for you, that's how I found your mom. Just to let you know, JOSEPH F. GRILLO was my good friend and I have spent years trying to locate the people who stole his bank account info on sept 11, 2001. Now that we know who you are, we will be coming for you. Don't bother to run, don't try to hide, I have tracked your e-mail and phone and know who you are and where you are hiding.

Cant stop laughing!!!
I got a similar email today! What happens is they get you account number to make the deposit then 5 minutes later your account is wiped out. Then we you think thats over, ten credit cards with huge balances are under your name within 2 weeks.
I had someone call me on the phone at home a year ago. They told me that they were from Washington Mutual and needed to verify some of my account information. So I asked them why, they said we want to enroll you in some premier checking account and give me $100, but 1st needed to verify my account numbers, social #, DL #, Address, and etc. So I said, "what do you have on file and I'll tell you whether or not its correct." He said no sir, we need you to tell us. So I hung and drove to my bank and they said we would NEVER call you ask you to verify that information. They suggested I change all my account numbers then and there, I did.
