LinkedIn(リンクトイン)経由でメールアドレス宛にフィッシングメールが送られてきました。アメリカやカナダで転職活動に使用されるLinkedInに登録を行いましたが、怪しいメールが送られてきました。

このメールが来た後に私が自分の名前を名乗ってしまいさらなるメールが送信されてきました。どうらや相手は名前や私の詳細等は分かっておらず、具体的な目的もないままメールを送信しているようです。そして返信があった場合は具体的な話に移ります。
本文：
Hello XXX,
Thanks so much for being able to respond to my email. I am a Chief Investment Officer (SVP) working with Nicolet National Bank, United state. I have a vital position at my bank which made me a personal accountant to one Engineer (Eiji XXX) a foreign Investor in Bio-Technology, USA. who had an investment account with my bank. Unfortunately, my client died with his family during a summer trip in 2009, may their souls rest in peace.
He died without leaving a will, several efforts were made to find his extended family through your embassy without success. I received a notice last week to provide the next of kin or the account risk being transferred to the government (es-cheat) in 21 days' time. I am contacting you to assist me in repatriating the funds left behind by my late client since you both share the same last name.
This claim will be executed without breaching any state laws and success is guaranteed if we cooperate on this deal. The bank will release the account to you because you share the same last name with my late client and with my recommendation of you as the next of kin. I anticipate your cooperation. Treat this proposal with utmost confidentiality and urgency for 100% success. If you are interested, I will tell you what to do as soon as I receive your response back to me. The amount involved is 45,649,400 (USD), I propose we share the proceeds at 50:50, I think this is fair. I will give you all the necessary information about this deal when I get your response. I anticipate your cooperation, treat this proposal with utmost confidentiality and urgency for 100% success. Thanks, I await your response.
Best Regards,
Kristy Ivy Maney
Nicolet National Bank.
よくあるパターンの振り込み詐欺メールでした。
私と同じ苗字の人が死んだのでお金を振り込んでもらえればもっと大きな金額を支払うよというフィリング詐欺メールです。
原因はLinkedInアカウントを作成したまま設定などをいじらずに放置していたのですが、メールアドレスを第三者が見れるような設定になっていたようです。
公開設定を本人のみに表示と変更しておきました。
リンクドインで報告されている情報ですが、LinkedIn上には複数のフェイクアカウントが存在しており、他のユーザーの個人情報を集めるために繋がり申請を行い、申請できたユーザーのメールアドレス等を抜き取りフィッシングメールなどを送っているようです。
