I know few things about Ecobank Internet Banking. I searched it on Google and I found out that there is a real Ecobank located in Africa. Through Ecobank internet banking, clients are able to have a real-time transactions, make a online payments, transferring of funds domestic and international and can reach the customer service supoort 24/7. This is another money transfer scams via email!
I was curious when I read an email with a subject “MG.61 X 0000 X MG!!”. And the email is about transferring of funds worth “$3.500,000”. Wow, this is a huge money! And the sender use the name of the bank “Ecobank” just like the scam alert about Islamic Bank in UAE; a bank wire transfer scams example.
