Exclamation Grand de Clarke Investment Finance Group PLC

The Grand de Clarke Investment Finance PLC is a scam!!! Any time that a web site tells you its taking you to a secure website the http:// changes. In a secure area (ex: bank, credit card company, cellphone company) it the search bar will turn YELLOW and http:// turns into https:// That is very important to look for. I almost got scammed. Thank God my boyfriends brother builds websites for a living and told me not to continue. I looked the site and bank name up on google; (Grand de Clarke Investment Finance Plc) nothing was found. Shocker. They say that most frauds ask you for money in the second or third email. I never received anything asking for money, a s.s. number, bank number, or any information other than email address and phone number. That's what had me going. I received around 12 emails. I was able to set up a bank account with no personal information. Then I looked at the balance on my account showing me the 1.8 million dollars. Please don't let this happen to you! Be careful and remember the https:// it's the only time you are truly save. Below are a couple of emails I received. The first being from The Irish Lottery (of course) to let me know of winnings. The rest being details of how to get the money.

Default Grand de Clarke Investment Finance PLC is a registered bank in the UK

Goodday! That some people are so unfortunate does not make every other person unfortunate. Dana Palmer who posted this post is just an example of that. I read posts everyday and I could not possibly be scammed.

I won an amount which Grand de Clarke Investment Finance Plc actualy transferred to me. You do not accuse a registered organisation of their calibre to be involved in such an act. I think people like Dana Palmer should be reported. Please, mark her IP address for fraudulent activities. People should mislead others when in actual fact, they are themselves, cheats. Goodday again. Thanks, Grand de Clarke!
