Telephone number +17246716643 is being used as part of an Advance Fee Fraud Scam by someone claiming to be "John Barnabas", from Arizona Bank and using the email address arizonbanknewyork@usa.com. The telephone number is included in the following Advance Fee Fraud email that is being sent to victims:
ATTENTION; PLEASE CONTACT ARIZONA BANK FOR YOUR INHERITANCE PAYMENT IMMEDIATELY , DO NOT SAY WE DID NOT WARN YOU BEFORE NOW.

CONTACT MR JOHN BARNABAS
HEAD OF REMITTANCE DEPARTMENT
EMAIL; arizonbanknewyork@usa.com
TELEPHONE : +17246716643 ONLY WASP NO TIME FOR THEM TO PICK CALLS .
THANKS

AGENT MUTH
IMF UNITS.
The email was sent from the email address "bank bank <bankbk119@gmail.com>", with the subject "GOOD NEWS".

The email is a classic example of an Advance Fee Fraud Scam with promises of a large sum of money being transferred to the victim. Anyone responding to it will be told that there is a fee/tax/insurance payment to be paid to receive the money. This will be followed by payment after payment until the victim runs out of money or realises that they are being scammed.
