Good day,

My name is Aidan Merlin, trained and working as Account Officer for
the Development Bank of Singapore (DBS). As regard this project, I had
taken pains to find your contact through personal endeavours.

I write to contact you about a Foreigner who died here in Singapore,
Twenty-two years ago leaving behind an estate/capital (US$12.8M with
interest) here in
Development Bank of Singapore (DBS) where I work till date, but nobody
has come forward or put an application for the claim. I feel it is
very important I include the websites of the unfortunate incident for
you to view, which claimed the life of the late investor.

http://infopedia.nlb.gov.sg/articles/SIP_783_2004-12-31.html

I can confirm with certainty that the said Investor died intestate in
1986 and no next-of-kin to his estate and no body came forward all
these years. I am of the
settled conviction that using my insider leverage and working with
you, we can secure the funds in the account for ourselves instead of
allowing it pass as unclaimed funds into the coffers of the Government
of Singapore.

In pursuant of the above plan, we choose you in this transaction
specially because you bear the same NAME with the said Investor.
However you shall be handsomely rewarded for your assistance and
co-operation in this transaction; as my colleagues and I have
collectively agreed to allocate 20% of the total funds for your role.

However, if you are interested in carrying out this deal, you are
advised to email me the following information as stated below so that
we can immediately commence on the process on how the funds will be
released to you as the Next of Kin.

i. RE-CONFIRM YOUR FULL NAMES:
ii. CONTACT ADDRESS:
iii. DATE OF BIRTH:
iv. TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBER:
v. OCCUPATION:

Thanks for your anticipated co-operation and I urgently wait to hear from you.

Best regards,
Aidan Merlin

MR. CHEUNG PUI
HANG SENG BANK LTD.
DES VOEUX RD. BRANCH,
CENTRAL HONG KONG,
HONG KONG.

Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr Cheung Pui director of operations Hang Seng Bank Ltd. I have an obscured business suggestion for you. Before the U.S and Iraqi war our client Major Fadi Bassem who was with the Iraqi forces and also a business man made a numbered fixed deposit for 18 calendar months, with a value of twenty four millions five hundred thousand United State Dollars in my branch. Upon maturity several notices was sent to him, even during the war. Again after the war another notification was sent and still no response came from him. We later found out that the Major and his family had been killed during the war in a bomb blast that hit their home.

After further investigations it was also discovered that Major Fadi Basem did not declare any next of kin in his official papers including the paper work of his bank deposit. And he also confided in me the last time he was at my office that no one except me knew of his deposit in my bank.

As you can see, twenty four million five hundred thousand United State Dollars is still lying in my bank and no one will ever come forward to claim it. What bothers me most is that according to the by-laws of my country at the expiration of 6 years the funds will revert to the ownership of the Hong Kong Government if nobody applies to claim the funds. Against this backdrop, my suggestion to you is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to Major Fadi Bassem so that you will be able to receive his funds.

WHAT IS TO BE DONE:

I want you to know that I have had everything planned out so that we will come out successful. I have contacted an attorney that will prepare the necessary document that will back you up as the next of kin to Major Fadi Basem, all that is required from you at this stage is for you to provide me with your full name and address so that the attorney can commence his job, after you have been made the next of kin, the attorney will also file in for claims on your behalf and secure the necessary documentation for the movement of the funds to an account that will be provided by you.

There is no risk involved at all in the matter as we are going to adopt a legalized method and the attorney will prepare all the necessary documents. Please endeavor to observe utmost discretion in all matters concerning this issue. Once the funds have been transferred, we shall share in the ratio of 70% for me, 25% for you and 5% for any expenses incurred during the course of this operation. Should you be interested please send me your private phone and fax numbers for easy communication and finally after that I shall provide you with more details of this operation.

Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated.

Kind Regards,

Mr. Cheung Pui.

Yes, it’s another e-mail from Ouagadougou touting an imaginary account, using George’s name to promote it. The reason is simple, George Brumley is easy to research on the internet. His background makes the story halfway believable.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I know that this message may come to you as a surprise since we do not know each other before now, but for purpose of introduction, I am Mr. Tony Kante, an Auditor in ABSA BANK OF SOUTH AFRICA. During my usual auditing in the bank, I found out about an account opened in this bank in 1990 and since 2000 nobody has operated on this account.

After going through some old files in the record, I discovered that the owner of this account is Mr. Smith B. Andreas, a foreigner, and a miner at Kruger Gold Co, died since1997. And no other person knows about this account or any thing concerning it, the account has no other beneficiary and my investigation has proven as well that his Company does not know anything about this account and the amount involved is Forty Million United States dollars (USD$40 M).

I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this money can only be approved to a foreigner with a proof that he is related to the deceased,  Mr. Smith B. Andreas.

I need your full co-operation to make this work; I want you to come in as a distance cousin to late Mr. Smith B Andrea. And the management will be ready to approve the transfer of this money to any foreigner who has correct information of this account, which I will give to you later.  If you are able and willing to handle such amount in strict confidence and abide to my instructions and advice, we shall all benefit because this is a life time opportunity. With my position now in the bank I can lobby for the transfer of this money to your account, which you will provide with the assurance that the money will be intact pending my physical arrival in your country for sharing. As I will apply for my annual leave the money gets to your account.

I will use my position and influence to effect legal approvals and onward transfer of this money to your account with appropriate clearance forms from the departments of Justice and finance . This is my private email address: tonykante2@executivemail.co.za

Please reply urgently so that I will inform you the next step to take immediately. Send also your private telephone and fax numbers including the full details of the account to be used for the deposit. At the conclusion of this business, you will get 30% of the total amount, 65% will be for me, while 5% will be for expenses both parties might incur during the transfer process.

Yours truly,

Here we go with a typical lost or suspended account. Doing a quick research I was not able to find an prominent “Eward Merril” which would fit the deceased account story which is being used here.

This is unusual in that the crooks like to quote press releases which give their stories some creedance.

The person calling himself William Zuma says he is from South Africa. Now that could be true, but it is hard to prove. To tell the truth, it’s not all that important, because to run the Advanced Fee scam the crooks don’t actually have to be in the country they claim to come from.

Dear Sir/Madam

I will like to solicit your help in a business proposition, which is by nature very confidential and a top secret. I know that a transaction of this magnitude will make any one worried and apprehensive but I am assuring you not to worry, as all will be well at the end of this endeavor.

I am William Xhozi Zuma, Client Service Manager of one of the prime banks in Johannesburg South Africa, my partners and I have decided to seek your help in the transfer of some amount of money requiring maximum confidence from my bank. A foreigner, Late Dr. Edward Merrill, who was an oil merchant and contractor was our customer here at our bank and had a balance of US$106 million which the bank now expects his next of kin to claim as the beneficiary .

So far, valuable efforts has been made to get to his people but to no avail, as he had no known relatives more because he left his next of kin column in his account opening forms blank and he has no known relatives . Due to this development our management and the board of directors are making arrangements for the funds to be declared unclaimed, returned to South Africa being the point of origin and subsequently paid into the Reserve Bank purse. Usually, funds of this nature end up in the greedy pockets of some politicians due to our corrupt society.

To avert this negative development my colleagues and I have decided to look for a reputable person to act as the next of kin to late Dr. Merrill, so that the funds could be processed and released into his account, which is where you come in. Whereby you cannot come here in person for this transaction, we shall make arrangement with a qualified and reliable attorney that will represent you in liaising with my bank for inconveniency of you coming to my country.

All legal documents to aid your claim for this fund and to prove your relationship with the deceased will be provided by us. Your help will be appreciated with 20% of the total sum. Please accept my apologies, keep my confidence and disregard this letter if you do not appreciate this proposition I have offered you. Thank you very much for your time.

I wait anxiously for your response via secure email id: zumawills@yahoo.com.

Yours truly,

William Zum

From the Desk of:
Mr. Odili Victor

I am a Manager of a bank, writing you in respect of a foreign customer whom made a US$25M depository for an investment program that has remained dormant for years now. I discovered that the account holder died without making a WILL on depository.

This money cannot be approved to a local Bank account holder, but can only be approved to a foreigner. if you will stand as next of kin to the fund, it will be shared 50%/50%. as this is a TWO-man business deal transaction. Your percentage will also be a source of up-liftment. You have absolutely nothing to LOSE in assisting me instead, you have so much to GAIN. Be rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both of us.

I shall then provide you with more details and relevant documents that will help you understand the transaction. I need your assistance and co-operation to this reality as I have done my Home-work and fine tune the best way to create you as the beneficiary while I would use my connection and money to secure almost all the paperwork for this transaction which will be done by the Attorney and my position as the Branch Manager guarantees the successful execution of this transaction with you as the beneficiary to this fund.

I will like you to provide immediately your full Names and Address, Date of Birth, Occupation, Tel & Fax Numbers so that an Attorney will be able to prepare the necessary documents and affidavit which will put you in place as the next of kin. The Attorney will draft and carry  out the notarization of the WILL and also obtain the necessary documents and letter of probate/administration in your favour for the transfer.

I will appreciate your early reply for commencement of business. Contact me for acknowledgment by E-mail and whereby you are not interested, please indicate in your reply so that I can seek for the assistance of someone else.

If this proposal is acceptable by you, I expect that you will not take undue advantage of the trust I Will bestow in you. I await your urgent response.

Thanks with great regards.
Mr. Odili Victor

Here’s another abandoned, deceased or suspended account just waiting for you to claim it.

Reading the CNN report quoted in this message you will see that there are actually no names of people published in the account. That obviously does away with having to actually write the e-mail about a specific person. This makes it easier to spin his tale.
