Scam Alert - PAYMENT NOTIFICATION from Federal Reserve Bank of America

Beware! It's a Cyber World: PAYMENT NOTIFICATION from Federal Reserve Bank of America

Dear readers, 

I got the following message today pretending to be from Federal Reserve Bank of America, informing me for the payment of US $ 7.3 million is approved and ready to be transferred. They have provided lots of complicated details just to convince me that it is a legitimate notification.

 

You can find many of such mails and notifications here "Compensation Scams" and "Winning Notification"

Beware of following payment/winning notifications  that can hit your inbox also or might be already there in your spam box. This is clearly an effort to steal your private information. Once one would respond to Mr Nelson Alan, as recommended, they will get you trapped to cheat you for processing fee or courier charges etc.
