He asked for and we sent him an invoice for the purchase and SWIFT account Bank Wire Transfer information to our bank. Our Bank called us to say they received a Bankers draft for 69, 550.00 lbs written on Santander UK pic bank account [protected] 2 [protected] Address on draft was from Santander UK pic written to us Phoneco Inc Other #'s on this draft is: [protected]: [protected] written on January 28, 2017.

What will happen is this man will tell you his company made a mistake and did pay too much.
They request if you can refund it as soon as you have the money in your account.
Then you will receive a call from your bank that they received a cheque and if you want it transferred into your account
Note: the bank is only transferring it in advance, so if the cheque bounces they will claim the money from your account + cost
If the money is in your account, you refund part paid too much, because of being honest, and sent the goods.
After some month bank claims the cheque drawn to your account, because they cannot get the money from the one who sent is,
leaving you with a large problem. You have lost the transfer of the bank, the part you have paid back the goods and cost to the bank.
So never accept payment via cheque ore bankers draft

I am in receipt of a copy of a document alleging to be a Certificate of Deposit issued by Santander Bank to a Miss Pamela Brown with an address of "Resident at Plot 211, kaulana na pua cir, Walluku Hi 96793 USA". The amount is for 3.5 million dollars.
I have tried to verify its authenticity in a local Philadelphia, Pa. branch, but they were unable to do so.
This CD is offered as collateral in a transaction, which is subject to the verification of the document.
My e-mail is srchalfin@msn.com. My telephone is [protected]

i didn't send the bank the reference number for the money transfer and i called the money gram customer service right away after seeing that above email from google search. and got a refund. i suggest those who have came across this email to ignore it right away and delete it or report as spam. never reply to that email. one way u can tell just by the research i done is that if you tell them that the fees are too high that they will tell you to send the fees to Nigeria and in GBP however the currency in Nigeria is only U.S Dollars or Nigerian currency and the other thing is if you go to the actual banks website the addresses doesn't match and the phone number don't match. the number 4407 is a cell number not business according to the article above. And to me it seems like this person is always online cause they would also send emails at night when banks are not open 24/7. i'm glad that i caught this before they got a hold of my money cause you cant be refunded money that have been delivered.

Scam phone numbers in the United Kingdom (+44):
If an email mentions a UK phone number starting with +4470, it usually means that the sender of that mail is not in the UK at all and it is almost guaranteed to be a scam.

Usually the presence of a +44 70 number in a 419 scam email means you're dealing with criminals based in Nigeria who are using these numbers to make people believe they're dealing with someone legitimate who is in the UK instead of a criminal in an Internet cafe on a different continent.

Do not reply to any emails that mention +4470 phone numbers!
Never call such numbers!
Break off all contact with these people!
The scammer most likely is NOT based in the UK. +44 70 numbers belong to international call forwarding services. Their whole point is that people can reach the user of the number when he's not in the UK. These services make it possible for scammers to hide the fact that they are based in Nigeria or other countries in Africa, while the scam victim will believe they're dealing with someone in the UK. Very few (if any) legitimate individuals use these numbers. Banks, law offices, UK immigration officials, etc. never use +44 70 numbers because, since their offices are based in the UK, they have no need to redirect calls to their offices to some mobile phone outside the UK. We have not come across any legitimate UK businesses yet that use +44 70 numbers. Their only visible user base are scammers in Nigeria, South Africa and elsewhere. It is a perfect mystery to us why the UK authorities allow these services to continue operating despite them being used almost exclusively by criminals.
