It looks as though the George Brumley story is a great theme to run 419 scams on.

    Looks like Mr.George Brumley Jr has turned up again

    Dear Trusted Partner.‏
    From: Mr.Michel (michel00@cantv.net)
    You may not know this sender.Mark as safe|Mark as junk
    Sent: 18 June 2009 16:00:25
    To: michel00@cantv.net

    From The Desk Of Mr.Michel Miguel.
    Auditing And Accounting Manager,

    Dear Friend,

    Everything that happens to one has spiritual significance. I was just leafing through the profiles of some names in the internet before I came through your name. Though, the internet has been grossly abused by scam artist and miscreants whose intention is to hurt. In as much as one should be careful, same time we should not allow negative to kill the positive potential in a realistic business. I have chosen to reach you because I felt that business is taking risk, going from the known to the unknown.

    I am the manager of Accounts / Operations Department of our bank here in Abidjan Cote D’Ivoire. In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of ( US$16.5,million US dollars ) in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer retired Atlanta physician Mr.George Brumley Jr,who die in Kenya Airways crash in the coasts of Abidjan in which all passengers on board died. Since then I have made several inquiries to your embassy to locate any of my clients extended relatives but has been unsuccessful.

    Since we got information about his death,we have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it unless some body applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidlings and laws but unfortunately we learnt that all his supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim.

    It is therefore upon this discovery that I now decided to make this business proposal to you and release the money to you as the next of kin or relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and we don’t want this money to go into the bank treasury as unclaimed bill.

    The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occassioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and an Ivoirienne cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner. I agree that 50 % of this money will be for you as a respect to the provision of a foriegn account, While 50% will be for me Thereafter,

    All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this deal through I guarantee that this will be executed under all legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. In your reply mail, I want you to give me your full names, address, date of birth, telephone and fax numbers. If you can handle this with me,

    Thanking you for your anticipated cooperation

    Best Regards,

    Mr.Michel Miguel.

  2. Thanks Chris,

    yes, the George Brumley emails are turning up a lot lately.

This is a personal and private mail directed to you and I request that it be treated as such.

    I am Barrister Jose Miguel Sanchez. I was the personal attorney /sole executor to the late Dr.George Brumley Jr,An American, hereinafter referred to as ‘My late Client’.

    I have written several letters to the American Embassy with intent to locate any of his extended relatives whom shall be claimant/Beneficiary of his abandoned monetary deposit, and all such efforts have been to no avail.More so, I have received official letters in the last few weeks suggesting a likely proceeding for confiscation of his abandoned personal assets in line with existing laws by the bank in which my late client deposited the sum of Seven Million, Five Hundred United States Dollars (US$7.5M). On this note I decided to search for a credible person to present as the Next of Kin to his Estate. I was urged to contact you, that I may, with your consent, present you to the “trustee” Bank as my late client’s surviving family member so as to enable you put up a claim to the bank in that capacity as a next of kin of my late client.Upon receipt of Your consent,an Agreement shall be reached between us concerning the modality for sharing of the Funds.

    Therefore, to facilitate the immediate transfer of this fund, you need firstly, signify your interest by contacting me via email, and as soon as I obtain your confidence, I will immediately appraise you with the complete details. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this proposal is hitch-free and that you should not entertain any fears as all necessary arrangements have been made for a successful transfer of the Fund to your nominated account within 10 Banking days of signifying your interest.

    Good day,

    I am the Director of Bill and Exchange at the foreign remittance

    Department of Amalgamated Bank of South Africa (ABSA). I am writing to seek your cooperation over this business deal. In my Department, I discovered an abandoned sum of (US $12 Million US Dollars). In an account that belongs to one of our foreign customers who died along with his entire family in a plane crash that took place in Kenya, The account belongs to the Late DR. GEORGE BRUMLEY, a citizen of Atlanta, United States of America but naturalized in South Africa and contractor with Anglo Gold.

    Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin or business associate to come and claim his money because it cannot be released unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or business associate to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines but unfortunately, all his supposed next of kin or relation died along with him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim.

    You can read more about the crash on visiting this site; http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/07/20/kenya.crash/index.html it is therefore upon this discovery that I now decided to make this business proposal to you and release the money to your account as the next of kin or business associate.

    The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remains dormant after four years; the money will be transferred into the Bank treasury as unclaimed fund. The request for your assistance and maximum co-operation as a foreign citizen is highly needed to release this fund. I will like us to share this money mutually on two equal halves between me and you . Please note that I dont have any asses to withdraw any cent from this money due to the money was insured by the owner DR. GEORGE BRUMLEY.
