Hello. You do not know me but I am an official being held prisoner in Alcona County Jail, Michigan. I have over $1.2 MILLION dollars in a hidden account that I cannot access to free myself. I need a checking account that I can move this money into so that I can pay for lawyers and / or shovels. If you provide me with this account, I will let you keep 50%. I may need you to advance me a small amount to cover my bail bond, but this is a small investment that will earn you $600,000.
Please reply with your routing and checking account number.
Tom.
