If you've recieved an email or letter about money, then it's a scam. The name Kenneth Gram pops up on all sorts of scam emails, including unclaimed lotto wins, money transfers and the classic Nigerian Bank money laundering scams.

- Your bank will never, ever email you about your account.

- If you don't have an account with the bank that has supposedly sent you an email, then it's a scam.
- If it's someone claiming to be bank employee, and is offering to transfer money out of a country and asking your help - it's not just a scam, it's a serious criminal offense. They'll get away with the money - you'll end up in jail.
