Examples of the "Nigerian scam" that flood my email box everyday.

Friday, October 29, 2004

Here is another variation of the Nigerian scam.

This time it purports to come from a team of investigators; who are looking for the next of kin of a deceased person, with a sum of money deposited in a bank.

It is a scam, the giveaway is that they do not address me by name; also no reputable firm of investigators would contact a potential next of kin via email.

The real giveaway is the fact that the scammer introduces himself by one name, then goes on to sign off under another.

What a moron!

I have forwarded it to the Bank of Scotland fraud investigation department.

My name is Tony Gray.I am a senior partner in the firm of BELETS Consultants:
Private Investigators and Security Consultants. We are conducting a standard
process investigation on behalf of The Bank of Scotland, the international
Banking
conglomerate. This investigation involves a client who shares the same
surname with you and also the circumstances surrounding investments made
by
this client at The Bank of Scotland.

The Bank of Scotland Private Banking client died intestate and nominated
no successor in
title over the investments made with the Bank. The essence of this
communication with you is to request you provide us information/comments
on
any or all of the four issues:

1-Are you aware of any relative/relation who shares your same surname whose
last known contact address was Cannes, France?

2-Are you aware of any investment of considerable value made by such a
person at the Private Banking Division of The Bank of Scotland?

3-Born on the 1st of June 1927

4-Can you establish beyond reasonable doubt your eligibility to assume
status of successor in title to the deceased?

It is pertinent that you inform us ASAP whether or not you are familiar
with
this personality that we may put an end to this communication with you and
our inquiries surrounding this personality. You must appreciate that we
are
constrained from providing you with more detailed information at this point.

Please respond to this mail as soon as possible to afford us the opportunity
to close this investigation.

Thank you for accommodating our enquiry.
