The fund, authorized with the support of the President, has been deposited with Zonix Trust Bank. Its purpose is to compensate eligible victims and support the administration of civil and criminal justice proceedings. These funds originate from fines, penalties, and assets recovered from convicted federal offenders.

Looking for comments on this email I received yesterday:
Hi ,

Thank you for sharing the filled form. Unfortunately, the 16 digit number that you have shared is your credit card number. Please fill the billing account number instead.


Regards,
 
No title or name - obviously scam
It looks like it .... but it isn't, apparently. This is an out of the blue email I received after I tried to set up direct debit last week for a new business CC. Screen shot below. It did have a christian name and bank logo, but we know how easy that is to manipulate. After calling just now to discover what the bank is talking about and what they would like me to do I lodged a complaint. Most unprofessional.
