At last! My very own inheritance e-mail …
Posted by Michael Holdcroft in Online Crime, tags: Attempts, InheritanceAfter all the years I have been following the “Boys from Africa” and their various scams, I have at last received my very own inheritance e-mail!
Oma Jombo, a so-called Barrister from Togo (Who knows? He could be a Bariister …), sent me the typical call for help. There are a lot of Holdcrofts on this planet, but I have not come across a Nelson up to now.
Oma says, Nelson died and left a whole pile of money, which he wants to share with me. I just have to say that I am the legal inheritor of Nelson’s fortune. He says, “completely legal and without risk!”. Great, don’t believe a word.
By the way, the telephone number is from Togo.
Here’s the e-mail for you:
From the desk of Barrister Oma Jombo
Law Firm Associate Chambers,

All passengers of the vehicle unfortunately lost there lives.

What the….!!!
I got the same letter too. I must admit the offer was really tempting, but I was very hesistant so I checked some details about Togo and it seems odd that a very small and troubled country could have a multimillionaire (in U.S.$) expat working in there. Below is a copy of the letter. Though I was doubtful, I replied to the message and the ‘barrister’ replied back to me, he even sent me pictures of his family. I’ll have it posted in here too, so that others could be warned. I wonder how they can profit from this kind of scam.
I am Barrister Joseph Dede, a solicitor at law, personal attorney to Mr.H.C.Doron, a national of your country,who used to work as a contractor in Lome Togo. Here in after shall be referred to as my client. On the 24th of June 2005, my client, his wife and his only daughter died in a motor accident along Kpalime express Road.Since then I have made several enquiries here to locate any of my clients extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts,I decided to searcht-through with his name which motivated me to contact you, to locate any member of his family hence I contacted you.
I have contacted you to assist in repartrating the fund valued at US$33million left behind by my client before it gets confisicated or declared unserviceable by the bank where this huge amount were deposited. The said bank has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have his account confisicated within the next twenty one official working days.
Since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the relatives for years now, I seek the consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased since you have the same last name, so that the proceeds of this account can be paid to you.Therefore, on receipt of your positive response, we shall then discuss the sharing ratio and modalities for transfer.
I have all necessary information and legal documents needed to back you up for this claim.
All I require from you is your honest co-operation to enable us see this transaction through.I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.

Jun,
many thanks for your post.
Yes, they do like to show you that they are just normal people. They do anything to lull you into believing their stories.
Regardless of that, it’s always better to forget and delete them. It’s just not worth the effort of answering their mails.
Michael
Wow! These African guys are really giving out a lot of anxiety. I just hope somebody will be able to catch these crooks. Btw, after receving the “inheritance email” (I was supposed to get US$ 33 million), I immediately researched Togo’s Political and Economic situation. Damn, some of their women are still not used to wearing shirts, and yet, a Filipino contractor was able to have a trust fund of US$ 33 million? Hell yeah!

hi guys I’ve just recently received “my very own inheritance email”!…I can’t copy and paste but the sad part about the whole thing was that he named an actual relative that died not on the 21st of october of course but it bought unecessary grief into mind…they are really pushy. and won’t quit. fair warning to everyone out there. take care everyone. until next time:)
Thanks Stevie
It make you ask if that was purely accidental, using your relative’s name that way.
Michael
You guys are not very lucky, in the las two weeks I won 1,000,000.00 US$ in a lotery in Italy, inherite 10,000,000.00 from Africa, 6,000,000.00 somewherelse, today and old widow Pam Vandyken with cancer wants to give me all of her money from her late husband…I dont know how much . But some entreprenor from Africa want me to invest (Le montant à investir est de 6.000.000 € et nous somme près àvous rencontrer pour une franche collaboration.Merci et bonne lecture Tel: 00447035956560) What I am gone do with all that money?
And how can I stop all those people from sending me any more
I even got on from Wester Union telling me I have 10,000.00 as a first paiement waiting for me. All I have to do is send the fee of 125.00 US$ to release the fund.
Christi
Christi,
what can I say? I am totally amazed that you have received notification of so much money.
Seriously though, it shows just how busy these crooks are. Even if they just take in 1 % from all of the emails they send out, they have won and have pocketed a pile of money. Of course, they have no risk. It’s easy money.
Michael
Attn:
I apologize for intruding into your privacy, especially by contacting you through this means for a business transaction of this magnitude, but due to its seriousness and urgency it, therefore, became necessary for me to seek for your assistance.I am Barrister Meenu Ife, a counsel to late David Needham, a national of your country Who used to work with shell development company in lome togo, He lost his life in a ghastly motor accident on the 21st of April 2004 together with his wife and their only daughter were involved in a car accident along nouvissi express Road. Before his sudden and mysterious death, he deposited a sum worth (5.5MILLION US dollars) with a bank here in Lome-Togo . I knew this because all the legal proceedings was duly carried out by my humble self. After his death three years ago, I made several approaches to your embassy to help me locate any of his relatives so as to come and stand as the next of kin to my late client in order to have this huge sum transferred in his or her bank account.
But all my effort proved abortive.After several unsuccessful attempts in locating any of his relations and the latest ultimatum given to me by the Bank, mandating me to provide my client’s next of kin within the 4 weeks or I have the money confisticated, which I wouldn’t live to see it happen, hence my decision to contact you so that I can present you as the next of kin to my late client. All I demand from you is your honest co-operation so that this fund {5.5MILLION US dollars} can be transferred into any account of your choice within the shortest time possible.For your assistance and co-operation, I have decided to have the money shared as follows; 40% for you, 60% for me.
What I introduced to you might be a smack of an unethical practice but this is a once in a life time opportunity that is capable of making things better for us and moreover, if I fail to present my late client’s next of kin in couple of weeks, the truth is that this money would not be taken by the government or by some greedy officials of the bank and I would not fold my arms and watch this happen hence my decision to contact you. I also want to use this medium to assure you that this transaction is 100% risk free and my position as the counsel to the late depositor of the fund, it has been legally planned to avoid any hitch or breach of law. Every information that will back you up as the next of kin to my late client shall be given to you as soon as I have your consent.
I look forward to receiving your positive response soonest.Reply via my private email: ife.meenu9@yahoo.com

Barrister Meenu Ife.
wish he was related that would have been nice
it this a joke??i received this mail today morning
No Joke, Juriy.
They really are after your money. You won’t get any from them.
Michael
Please be advised that I have been contacted by a person claiming to be the attorney at law for a distant realative in Lome. Barrister Tanko has told me to never contact you. I was asked to send $1,400.00 to start processing my ihearatance of 5million dollars or so. I tried to have the bank involved use the money to start a fund to aid the orphans in thier region. That is when this Barrister Tanko became quite angry. Seems like a scam to me.
If you would like to contact me I have all correspondence from the bank and Mr. Tanko that I could forward to you. Sincearly Gerald Brent Gibbons
i recived a email frombarr meenu ife Lome Republic of Togo today
he sent me a different one first and i replyed to it saying i have no relatives in togo1 and he sent me this email
I thank you for the response to my mail.Like i had explained in my first mail,I am Barr Meenu Ife, An attorney and legal practitioner here in Lome Republic of Togo.
The account in question belongs to my late client Mr David Darwin,who died in April 2004.I will advice that you open a new bank account with just a cent in it basically for this transaction. This will at least allay any fear you may have towards the safeness of your bank account information.
This is not an everyday transaction considering what is happening in the world today, but what I can only assure you is the genuity of this transaction.I have lovely family and I’m too responsible to be involved in anything that will jeopadise my personality as it is against the ethics of my profession/religion, therefore i cannot get myself involved in any undignified or ignoble act that will eventually put the lives of my lovely family in jeopardy or make me loose my practice licence.
My late client Mr.David Darwin,was a well known customer of the bank here in Lome Togo when he was alive. I did all I could to locate his real relatives without success. It was after the unsuccessful attempts to locate his real relatives that I then came to remember his informing me of his early live and experiences, he was brought up in a motherless baby home here in Togo.
The success of this claim depends in our ability to work as partners and keep this deal secret which is the backbone of its success. The bank does not know any of the deceased relation and as well lack every ability to identify the next of kin. The bank will always rely on my attestation on your behalf as the deceased attorney. You may or may not be related to my deceased client but both of you shares the same biological surname “Darwin”.
My good friend, I am very sure of the smooth conclusion and transfer of this fund into your account with your transparency, it might interest you to know that I am deeply in this deal i have an insider in the bank. I can not begin any deal in this bank without a successfully accomplishing it, so am concrete sure that this deal will be handled in the most legitimate manner with your absolute assistance.
However, what I want you to do is stand as the next of kin to the deceased to claim these funds while i will supply you with all necessary information/documents the bank might need to prove that you are the legitimate next of kin to Mr David Darwin,
You must understand that in the banking industry chances or opportunities like this are common but not heard. People put their monies in banks and some of these accounts are either coded or confidentially operated, therefore, when such people die, what do you think that happens to these monies when nobody comes for their claims? Well, this is one of the numerous avenues good free monies are made within and amongst the bankers.
To explain myself properly, I am not a board member and of course, I am not part of the owners of the bank and I am not rich. Therefore, if I have this opportunity and throw it to the wolves, then I must be the most foolish-man that has ever lived.. I have fully put everything in place and since this is an opportunity open to anybody, we do not see anything wrong or fraudulent in what we are doing as long as we are not hurting who should not be hurt period. I can only tell you that it is just destiny that brought us together.
You are a human being and you can draw your own judgment from the above explanations. I will be entitled to 50% of the total amount while you will have 40% for presenting yourself to our bank as the next of kin to this fund and providing a foreign account where this fund will be deposited since no local resident and local account can be used to achieve this aim according to our beneficiary law and 10% mapped out for charity and any expenses we might incure.
I shall request the below information to enable me make the necessary changes in the client file here in my office afterwhich and procure all the necessary documents that will confirm you as the beneficiary of the funds.
1, Your full names
2, Contact Address:
3, Contact Telephone /Fax Number
4, Age/Sex
5, Occupation
6, Nationality
7, copy of your identification
Once i receive the above information, i shall procure the necessary legal documents in your name and send you the application letter on how to contact the bank. You can contact me on my direct telephone number: +2289714894. for verbal conversation.
I Await your response.
Remain blessed.
Barr.Meenu Ife.
Yes, Sarah. It looks as though Barrister Meenu Ike is telling Fairytales too.
He’s probably not even a lawyer, even though he writes in presentable English.

Hi! To tell you the truth we have to do something against these men. They are playing the the people’s feeling, and I consider it inappropriate….
Yesterday morning, I’ve received the same letter… I can’t believe that all these people have been lied as I did. Shame on my!
Fernando,
I agree with you on that, but there are not many alternatives. Not even the police or FBI can do anything about the crooks who in Africa.
Michael
they sent me one too and i almost believed it, until i googled the street name and found similar stories saying it was a scam! And obvously it is!!! If they have sent out a bunch of emails to different people with the same story (the only difference is that they change the relatives name to match your last name) but everything else is the same!

Hello Isabel Cristina Attianesi, Date: 17-09-2009
I am Barrister Frederic Noe, a solicitor at law. I am the personal attorney to Engr.A.Attianesi, a national of your country, who is a Contractor and has spent most of his life in my country (Togo). Here in after shall be referred to as my client. On the… ver más21st of April 2006, my client, his wife and their two children were involved in a car accident along Bagida express road Togo. Unfortunately they all lost their lives in the event of the accident, Since then I have made several enquiries at your embassy in Cotonou , Lome-Togo and Porto Novou to locate any of my clients extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to track his family name over the web, to locate any member of his family hence I contacted you.
I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money left behind by my client before they get confiscated, frozen or declared unserviceable by the Bank where these huge deposits were lodged. Particularly where the deceased had an account valued at about $25.5 Million United States Dollars Only (Twenty Five Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars Only) . The Management of the Bank has issued me a short notice to provide the next Of kin of my late client or have the account frozen. Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over years now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since you have the same family name so that the proceeds of this account valued at USD25.5M can be paid to you then you and me can share the money or if agreed we can make an investment with the money in your country. I have all the necessary legal documents backing up this noble claim.
And these I must do to make sure that this fund is not wasted or end up in the wrong hands. All I require is your honesty, co-operation to enable us see this transaction through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.

As you can see, the Africans keep on telling the same stories. Unfortunately, they still work.

Attn:Wricks,
I apologize for intruding into your privacy, especially by contacting you through this means for a business transaction of this magnitude, but due to its seriousness and urgency it, therefore, became necessary for me to seek for your assistance.I am Barrister Michael Holdcroft, a counsel to late David Wricks, a national of your country Who used to work with shell development company in lome togo, He lost his life in a ghastly motor accident on the 21st of April 2004 together with his wife and their only daughter were involved in a car accident along nouvissi express Road. Before his sudden and mysterious death, he deposited a sum worth (5.5MILLION US dollars) with a bank here in Lome-Togo . I knew this because all the legal proceedings was duly carried out by my humble self. After his death three years ago, I made several approaches to your embassy to help me locate any of his relatives so as to come and stand as the next of kin to my late client in order to have this huge sum transferred in his or her bank account.
But all my effort proved abortive.After several unsuccessful attempts in locating any of his relations and the latest ultimatum given to me by the Bank, mandating me to provide my client’s next of kin within the 4 weeks or I have the money confisticated, which I wouldn’t live to see it happen, hence my decision to contact you so that I can present you as the next of kin to my late client. All I demand from you is your honest co-operation so that this fund {5.5MILLION US dollars} can be transferred into any account of your choice within the shortest time possible.For your assistance and co-operation, I have decided to have the money shared as follows; 40% for you, 60% for me.
What I introduced to you might be a smack of an unethical practice but this is a once in a life time opportunity that is capable of making things better for us and moreover, if I fail to present my late client’s next of kin in couple of weeks, the truth is that this money would not be taken by the government or by some greedy officials of the bank and I would not fold my arms and watch this happen hence my decision to contact you. I also want to use this medium to assure you that this transaction is 100% risk free and my position as the counsel to the late depositor of the fund, it has been legally planned to avoid any hitch or breach of law. Every information that will back you up as the next of kin to my late client shall be given to you as soon as I have your consent.
I look forward to receiving your positive response soonest.Reply via my private email: michael_h@rocketmail.com
Regards,
Barrister Michael Holdcroft.

Ahmad,
many thanks for posting this. I was wondering how long it would take until one of the African crooks started using my name.
So here we have it.
I don’t believe I have to tell you that I am not sending out these emails.

I got the same thing on my facebook, only a couple things were different and i got a different contact number
Thanks for your note, Jamie.
The Africans are using every method they can to get hold of potential victims. The Social Media sites are obviously very good for finding all sorts of people who have not had any exposure to this type of fraud.

I recieved this mail too… how can they know my last name? it was addressed to me
Hi,
I have also received my own inheritance e-mail. What is amazing is the pictures they sent me from Mr. Patrick, he’s very alike to my father.
Read below:
Dear Rogelio Cumberbatch,
Thanks for your response and your understanding,Like i said in my first mail to you,i am the personal/ confidential attorney to the late Engr Patrick O.Cumberbatch,who was a big contractor in Lome Togo until his untimely death.He died on the 14th of feburary,2006 without any survivor.Since then I have made several equiries to locate his extended family or relative without success.
After making these attempts for some time now, i decided to contact you since you have the same last name with him because the bank where he deposited his fund ($12.3.million) has issued me a final notice since the past few weeks days setting a deadline of 32 days within which I have to forward the details of a next of kin to Late Engr Patrick O.Cumberbatch,for the claims of this fund or have it frozen at the expiration of the said deadline.
I am now fully convinced that you are the right and legal next of kin that I have searched for all these while because my client has told me many times about having his family scatered after the world war.The reason being that this fund has been dormant since the past 3 years. Its as a result of this that I am seeking your consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased since you have the same last name, so that the proceeds of this account can be paid to you .
Therefore,I need your full guarrantee to cooperate with me and full assurance that i will recive my own share of this money as soon as the bank transfers this fund to your bank account.
I will send you a copy of the death certificate of the late Engr Patrick O.Cumberbatch,issued to me by the hospital authority here after his death. Its quite very necesary that we agree on what I will be entitled to for my assistance to claim this fund with all the necessary backing .I have the the secret access code and other informations which are most vital for successfull claim of this fund without any hitch.
All I require from you is your honest cooperation to enable us see this transaction through.I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement that will free from any breach of the law.
I will be sending to you an application text which you will fill and send to the bank for the claim(release/transfer) of this fund to your bank account.The application has to be sent to the bank foreign remittance director immediately I sent it to you in my next mail.
As soon as the bank receives it,they will acknowledge it and request informations regarding this account from you which I already have.All you have to do is to revert to me for directives which upon forwarding to you,you will inturn send to the bank. Immediatly they receive these informations, they will be proceeding for onward transfer of the fund to your bank account without further delays.The whole process of this transaction will take about 8 working days to conclude.
I will be waiting for your immediate reponse to enable us proceed so that we can conclude the whole process within the time frame mandated by the bank.
Thanks

Hello, People
having received the letter from Lomo, Togo (Barrister Ali Baba)
i tried to find some info about the fake.
but there is one interesting thing: this man informed me, that my died relative was born in 1942.
this fact made me reflact – our family lost the granfater in the beginning of WW2, in 1941, and couldnt find till this time.
if imaginate, that the died man is a son of my granny, i asked myself – how did the Togo boy found him?
or he has an access to some databases of lost people?
and another thougt – if it is the methot to make money, what is the essence?
they do not to sell anything, do not ask money for any business/
in what a dirty trick?
