Concorde email is a scam

[holeinone]

A new email scam uses details of the Concorde disaster in 2000 to try to steal money from naive computer users, security experts have warned. The email claims to be from an accountancy firm and that the recipient could receive millions from a bank account belonging to a victim of the crash.According to security company Sophos, the email claims to have found the bank account of a BMW worker called Christian Eich containing £20.5m. The email says that if the money is not claimed by the end of the quarter, it will be used to buy weapons. “Mr Eich and his family were genuine victims of the terrible air crash in Paris. Sick criminals are deliberately using their names in an attempt to steal from others, without a thought for the feelings of their friends and relatives,” said Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant at Sophos. The email fraudsters have also inserted links to news reports about Mr Eich’s death in a bid to give the scam more credibility.
