We have received information that fraudsters are wrongfully using our name and logo to extract money from people. This scam is better known under the name Fraud 419. “419” refers to the number of the article of the Nigerian criminal code relating to this type of fraud.

The aim of this fraud is to take advantage of the gullibility of Internet users by extorting money from them via e-mail.
The scam takes the form of an e-mail, in which someone explains to you that they have a significant sum of money and tells you they need to use your personal account to transfer this money. The sender promises you a commission on the amount of the funds transferred in exchange.
However, before you can get this sum of money, many costs must be advanced (solicitors, plane ticket, etc.). This transfer will never take place and you will find yourself relieved of a significant sum of money.

Any e-mail received from the address fbsbbanking@london.com is fraudulent.

You will also find below examples of fraudulent documents used.

• Example of fake letter of authorisation
• Example of fake transfer order
