Scammers send Letter to Paul Ridden asking for Bitcoin on behalf of the Queen
The lengths that some people will go to scam others is unfathomable.
A man claiming to be Mr. Edward Young posing as the "Private Secretary to HM the Queen Elizabeth II" sent a letter to Paul Ridden, the Chief Executive Officer at Smarttask. There is incorrect spelling and grammar in the scam letter.
The letter reads:
Dear Mr. Ridden,
For the second time in the last 30 yrs, Her majesty the Queen Elizabeth II appeals to a certain number of people to save Great Britain's economy. As you know, the Brexit will happen quite quickly, and we have not reached a bilateral agreement with the European Union.
To save and sustain the UK's economy after Brexit, we must pay the European Union 19 billions.
We currently have more than 82% of money available, and we need to rise the rest until Oct 19th 2019.
With indulgence we appeal to you if you can borrow the Royal House with amounts between 450,000 - 2,000,000
We will offer 30% interest for a period of 3 months and posibility to become a Member of the Royal Warrant Holders Assiciation.
By paying this amount to the European Union, we will be able to keep the economy and inflation exactly as it is for a minimum period of 10 years and the future changes will not affect imports from EU countries.
We want this letter to remain anonymous as we do not wish the subject to go viral. This could affect the agreements we have in order to obtain the bilateral agreement.
In order to be able to help us financially, please transfer the money to the Bitcoin address that was attached to your letter. Once we receive the funds, we will send you another letter with the contract.
The Queen's warm good wishes to you all for your continuing success in the future.
