A serious question from me for a change
My Wife received a letter, to an address we use in England, specifically so that we can deal with them immediately.
I am sure this is a scam, but because it is so badly done ,I have my doubts, so would like any info.
The letter purports to be from my wifes English bank,and according to it, a new E.E directive has been issued to all banks to act on,by getting proof of the person, (copy of passport,signed and stamped by high commission of authorizing country, a few other hoops to jump through, and states all expenses to be met by my wife.
This letter goes on to state that it is known by the tax office that she lives in Spain but also has a place elsewhere.
My point is the address that all particulars are to be sent to is the address of the passport interview office in Manchester, Which houses many other companies.
The letter is not on the banks headed paper, her sort code and account number are false. the banks office is named as the basic rate tax department, a few other parts don't add up. But what I don't get is why, what can someone get from this scam except spending money buying stamps
