Stupid Punts!

I Died in 2000

I would like to advise you all that reports of my death are somewhat premature. However, the writer of the scam below doesn't seem to realise that.

The scammer, who claims to be a barrister, has written to me to tell me that I died in car crash a few years ago. Apparently I left $10M, he now wants me to impersonate myself to get my money back.

Needless to say, the transaction is "perfectly legal"!

One small point here, I am not dead; nor indeed did I have $10M.

However, always happy to waste the time of a scammer, I have written back pointing out that I am not dead and asking him to return my money immediately.

I will let you know if the idiot responds.

Attn: Mr Frost.
Sir,
I am Barrister James Obi, a solicitor at law. I am the personal attorney to Mr. Kenneth Frost , a national of your country who use to work with Shell-development Company in Accra-Ghana. Herein after shall be referred to as my client.
On the 21st of April 2000, my client, his wife and their three children were involved in a car accident along Kumasi express road. All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives. Since then I have made several enquiries to your embassy to locate any of my clients extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts to locate any member of his family, hence I contacted you.
I am contacting you to assist in repatriating the money and property left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where this huge deposit is lodged. Particularly, the finance company where my late cleint had an account valued at about 10 Million Dollars has issued me a notice as his attorney to provide his next of kin or have the account confiscated within the next ten official working days.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 3 years now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since you have the same last name, so that the proceeds of this account including valuables and cash valued at us$10 Million will be paid to you and then you and I can share the money. 60% to me and 40% to you I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any claim we may make. All I require is your honestco-operation to enable us conclude this deal.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. Please get in touch with me by my email or phone:. Contact me immediately so that we can discuss further about this issue.
Best regards,
Barr. James Obi.
