Dear friend,
RE: TRANSFER OF ($7,000.000.00 USD SEVEN MILLION UNITED STATE DOLLARS)
I want to transfer to overseas the sum of ($7.000.000.00USD) Seven Million United States Dollars) from a Prime Bank in Africa. I would like to ask you to quietly look for a reliable and honest person who will be capable and fit to provide either an existing bank account or to set up a new Bank a/c immediately to receive this money, even an empty a/c can serve as far as it can receive money.
I am MR MARSHAL DUMBA an accountant and personal confidant to Dr.George Brumley who died together with his wife in a plane crash on the July 21st 2003 on their way to attendwedding in Boston, he is an American, a physician andindustrialist, he died without having any beneficiary to his assets including his account here in Burkina Faso which he opened as his personal savings for the purpose of expansion and developement of his company before his untimely death in 2003.
The amount involved is ($7.000.000.00USD) Seven Million United States Dollars), no other person knows about this account. I am contacting you for us to transfer this funds to your account as the beneficiary, I want to transfer the whole $7,000.000.00 (Seven Million United States Dollars) into a safe account abroad, but I don’t know any foreigner. I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this money can not be approved to a local person here,But can only be approved to any foreign a/c because the money is in US Dollars and the former owner of the a/c Dr.George Brumley is a foreigner too, and as such the money can only be approved into a foreign a/c.
I need your full co-operation to make this work fine because the management is ready to approve this payment to any foreigner who has correct information of this account, which I will give to you, upon your positive response and once I am convinced that you are capable and will meet up with the inheritance procedures.
At the conclusion of this business, you will be given 40% of the total amount,55% will be for me, while 5% will be for expenses both parties might have incurred during the process of transferring. You should observe utmost CONFIDENTIALITY AND SECRECY in this transaction, and rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I will require your assistance to invest my share in your country.

Subject: Urgent Business Proposal.
Date: Sat, 18 Apr 2009 17:49:59 +0200
FROM: MR. ADRIAN KAMALA
SOUTH AFRICA
Attention:
Urgent Business Proposal.
I am a Bank Manager atFirst NationalBank of South Africa (FNB). I am writing to seek your cooperation over this business deal. In my Department, I discovered an abandoned sum of (US $62.3Million 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 don’t have any asses to withdraw any cent from this money due to the money was insured by the owner DR. GEORGE BRUMLEY. I will indulge you at this point to understand that this is privileged information and must be strictly confidential. Please reply to this,

You can confirm http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/07/20/kenya.crash/index.html
Mr. Nelson Makala
This is cleaver, sending you to an actual CNN article…. How I wish this were real!! ~Bren
Bren,
the African crooks love stories such as this one. They spin a tale on top of a real person who died in some sort of catastrophe which was in the news. All they do then, is use the online reports to give their tales more substance.
People may have heard about the crash, but only a minority might actually have heard about someone like Dr. George Brumley. So only the crash can be confirmed and that is all the crooks need.
Michael
We also received an email from these scam artists. The person who wrote the email was William F Higgins posing as a Solicitor in the United Kingdom and Attorney for the late Richard Burson. On offer was $US20Million – nice try we say but we are not stupid enough to fall for this or any other scam. We did reply to him just to see his response and he wrote back asking for our name, address, phone, age and copy of our ID. PLEASE everyone be very careful and don’t let the $$$$ fool you.
Greg and Dee,

Mr. James Lynnwood
Here is mine form today June18, 2009:
Dear Friend,
I am writing to seek your cooperation over this business proposal.First I must solicit your confidence in this transaction; this is by virtue of its nature as being utterly confidential and top secret. Though I know that a transaction of this magnitude will make any one apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring you that all will be well at the end of the day. l have decided to contact you due to the urgency of this transaction, Let me start by introducing myself properly to you.
I am MR JERRY WRIGHT. a regional manager with a Bank here in London, UK. I came to know you in my Private Search for a Reliable and Reputable Person to handle this Confidential Transaction, which involves the transfer of huge sum of Money to a Foreign Account requiring Maximum Confidence. In my branch, We discovered an abandoned sum of $15Million USD (FIFTEEN MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS) Only, 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 , East Africa, the bank now expects a next of kin as beneficiary.
Valuable efforts have being made by the Bank to get in touch with any of the Brumley’s remaining family or relatives but all to no success. the Late DR. GEORGE BRUMLEY,a citizen of Atlanta , United States of America is a known Philanthropist in West Africa and the whole African continent
Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because it cannot be released unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines but unfortunately 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 via your foreign bank account as the next of kin or relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and It is because of the perceived possibility of not being able to locate any of Late Brumleys s next kin (He died with his entire family members)
The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after seven 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 to stand as the next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the deceased customer was a foreigner and I cannot trust any body around me to stand in as next of kin to a foreigner.
The sharing of the fund are thus: 40% for you the account owner, 50% for me and my trusted colleagues and the remaining 10% for expenses for both parties. If this proposal is acceptable by you, do not make undue advantage of the trust we have bestowed in you.
NOTE: You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this letter via my personal email address
jerrywright@9.cn
And i need you to fill below information
Name: …………………………………………………………………………………………………..
Address: ……………………………………………………………………………………………….
Contact Telephone and Mobile Phone Number: ………………………………………………..
Marital Statues: ……………………………………………………………………………………….

I am Trusting to hear from you as soon as possible.

I also recieved an e-mail about Mr. Brumleys death.
A man claiming to be Douglas Mckone with a law firm in England says that Mr. Brumley, who I had never heard of untill now, named me in his will to recieve $5,1000,000.00. I replied to ask how he had gotten my e-mail address and why Mr. Brumley who certainly had never heard of me would name me as a beneficiary. I also stated that I believed it was a scam and that unless he could prove the legitimacy of his claim I would not give out any personal information.
I got this response from “Mr. Mckone”.

client name is Dr. George Brumley,you can confirm http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/07/20/kenya.crash/index.html
Presley Davis.
Got this today! I figured I’d mess with them and made it sound like I was interested. Can’t wait till they start asking me for money. What’s funny is that my boss got scammed by guys saying they had Saddam Hussiens money. Close to what this is in set-up though. These guys don’t rest either. They would call work everyday about 50 times at least! I just started telling them that they had the wrong person or I’d cuss at them for a while/ act like my boss and tell them it was over they were turned in and that if they had any senses they should run and hide… But to this day they still call work and still ask for the boss lol.
John,
maybe you and/or your boss would be willing to tell the story about how it happened? Let me know if you would be willing to do that. I will keep it strictly anonymous.
Michael

ATTENTION C.E.O,/ Madam
I am the DIRECTOR of bill and exchange control at the foreign remittance Department of Amalgamated Bank of South Africa (ABSA). I am writing to seek your cooperation over this business deal.

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 by 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 request for your assistance and maximum co-operation as a foreign citizen is highly needed to release this fund. I agreed that 45% of this money will be for you as foreign partner, while 45% will be for me, and 10% will be for any expenses incurred for the both party. I can still get his file out of the Bank when I see an absolutely trust and confidential which is the most important needed in this transaction.

Stephanie,
I remember the first I got one of these. It must 15 years ago. Those days the African crooks sent real letters or a fax.
“Why me?” I thought.
I tried researching it, but that was impossible then. Fortunately I got the right information from my local Chamber of Commerce.
Apart from that, I have spoken to enough “business men” who thought they were cleverer than the crooks. Most of them lost their money.
Yes, it does happen. Unfortunately, a lot of people don’t use their common sense, even after I have told them to forget it.
That’s life ….
Michael
Good day
I received a mail From Mr William F Higgins. I am not sure if it is a scam. I google him and there is actully a layers company Higgins Solictors. He sent me his ID. How do you see the real ones from the scams?
Charlotte,
just post the email here and I can tell you in an instant. But generally, if you have landed here because of George Brumley and his money, then it is a scam email.

Attn: Sir/Madam,
I am William F. Higgins , a legal practitioner based in United Kingdom, I feel quite safe dealing with you in this business proposition, although this medium (Internet) has been greatly abused, I chose to reach you through it because it still remains the fastest, surest and most secured medium of communication. Be informed that this letter is not a hoax or Scam mail and I urge you to treat it with the seriousness it deserves.
I am the personal attorney to Robert Fitzpatrick, an American who was a consultant with Shell UK LTD here in London, who shall be referred to as my client. Unfortunately my client lost his life aboard Egypt Air Flight 990, which crashed into the Atlantic Ocean on October 31st, 1999 (news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/502503.stm) and left no clear beneficiary as Next of Kin except some vital documents related to the deposit still with me. All efforts by me to trace his Next of Kin proved abortive because he did not make any will prior to his death.
Since then I have made several inquiries to locate any of my late clients extended relatives and this has proved unsuccessful. After my several unsuccessful attempts to locate any member of his family hence I contacted you. I am contacting you to assist in claiming the money left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unclaimed by the security company where this huge deposit were deposited. Particularly, the finance company where the deceased had the said fund valued at USD20 million dollars has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin. Consequent upon this, my idea is that we can have a deal/agreement and I am going to do this legally with your name as the bona fide beneficiary of the amount in question as I have all legal document to back our claim.
I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased so that the proceeds of this account valued at $20 Million US dollars can be paid to your account abroad, note that 35% of this money will be for you, in respect to the provision of a foreign account and 55% would be for me as I have planned to come to your Country as soon as the transfer is completed, 10% will be used for the reimbursement of any expenditure we may incur in the cause of the transaction.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law, all I need from you is your utmost collaboration and sincerity for us to thrive in this deal.
Please kindly get back to me through my email address or personal phone number for confidentiality and send to me your telephone and fax numbers to enable us discuss further on this transaction.
Kind regards,
WILLIAM F. HIGGINS Esq
Dear Charlotte Hauptfleisch ,
Sorry for the mistake in attaching copy of my ID . Find the attached copy of my ID my address in UK .
As regards where the money is presently , the money is in a security company in China which you will know more about as we progress with the claim . As for my late client ROBERT FITZPATRICK , he was working with Shell UK before his death and I have been his personal attorney for over ten years before the plane crash .I have made several efforts to locate any member of his family but to no avail and when the security company contacted me to present his NEXT OF KIN I deem it fit to contact you for the claim , since I have the deposit certificate of the funds within my disposal and I have also secured his death certificate to back up the claim .
However, if you want to advance with me I am sure that we will not have any problem as I have all the paper works to back up the claim on your name as the true NEXT OF KIN to the late Robert Fitzpatrick .
I therefore urge you to supply me all your details as stated in my previous mail to enable up progress with the claim .
Awaiting your reply
Regards
WILLIAM F. HIGGINS

I wish to inform you that I discovered the said amount of money during our last audit work in the month of April 2007. Myself discovered this money belongs to one MR George Brumley, a very rich farmer who died six years ago with Kenya airlines plane crash in Kenya july 2003.

upon your response i will give you the next step to take for the transfer processing on your name.
Thank for your understanding
Mr. John W. David
If anybody knows how can I stop receiving these emails, please tell me.
Ireth,
there is not much you can do apart from making sure your spam filter is set up as you need it.
The problem is, the African crooks use email harvesters which look for email addresses on the Internet. Harvester software builds lists of email accounts and save the list to the crook’s pc.
All you can do, is get a new email address, make sure it doesn’t appear anywhere on the web and use spam filters.
