Please note that e-mails, letters and phone calls are currently been made to unsuspecting persons by fraudsters claiming to have access to their funds. Everyday, people throughout the world are falling victim to scams of one way or the other. It could be an unexpected prize draw or lottery win, or a chance to invest in an exciting new money-making or investment programme . In the circumstance, we unreservedly advice you to dissociate yourself from all correspondence and transactions entered into based on evidently fraudulent and fictitious claims.

Also: »... evidently fraudulent and fictitious claims« — das trifft's doch irgendwie.

»ABORT ALL TRANSACTION«. Aber ja! Mr. Lukemon, mach' ma doch gern — und das mit dem »abort« wäre schon früher eine Idee gewesen ...
