    My son was a recipient of this spam mail purportedly from the Central Bank Governor.

    He made a mistake of replying but he said he gave no bank info, just his complete name, cell phone number and e-mail address. After his reply, he got another e-mail alledgedly from the CBP Governor, instructing him to contact his secretary, Cecile Salvador, immediately.

    I forwarded the e-mails to an e-mail address I found in the CBP website but got no reply. I then asked friends if they knew anybody
    who I can refer this matter to. That is how I found this site.

    I hope the perpetrators of this spam mail are caught.

    Hi T.M. –

    Glad to hear no vital information changed hands.

    The best thing to do if you ever suspect an email might be fraudulent is to report it to the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) — which I would recommend doing emails received by your son.

    Always better to be safe than sorry.
