Barrister Paul Andrews Scam

This is a personal email directed to you. I am Paul Andrews, a solicitor at law. Mr. Robert, was my friend and I stood as his solicitor while he was alive. Mr. Robert, was involved in an accident with his immediate family and they all lost their lives. After the death of Robert, I was informed by his account officer to make contact with any of his extended family member that will stand in as the next of kin to his estate. 9.8 Million British Pound.

I have written several letters to the embassy with an intent to locate any of his extended relatives whom shall be claimants/beneficiaries of his abandoned personal estate and all such efforts have been to no avail. The board of directors of the company just adopted a resolution and I was mandated to provide his next of kin for the payment of this money within the next 15 official working days or forfeit the money as an abandoned funds. The company had planned to invoke the abandoned property decree of the company to confiscate the funds after the expiration of the period given me. Also I have received official letters in the last two days suggesting a likely proceeding for confiscation of his abandoned personal assets in line with existing laws of the institution.

Well I have reasoned very professionally and I can use a legal means to present a next of kin of my deceased client. This is legally possible and would be done in accordance with the laws of the land. On this note I decided to search for a credible person and finding that you bear a similar last name, I was urged to contact you, that I may, with your consent, present you to the trustee as my late client's family member so as to enable you put up a claim to the bank in that capacity as a next of kin of my client. I find this possible for the fuller reasons that you are of the same nationality and you bear a similar last name with my late client making it a lot easier for you to put up a claim in that capacity.

I think it is unprofitable for his funds to be submitted to the government of this country or some financial institution. My aim is to retrieve this fund, for this I seek your assistance since I have been unable to locate the relatives for the past 8 years now. I have all vital documents that would confer you the legal right to make this claim and would make them available to you so that the proceeds of this bank account valued at 9.8 million can be paid to you before it gets confiscated or declared unserviceable to the bank where this huge amount is lodged.

I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since you have the same last name giving you the advantage so that the proceeds of this account can be paid to you and then both of us can share the money. I know there might be other persons out there with the same surname as my last client, but after a little check my instinct tells me to contact you. Can I trust you on this? I shall assemble all the necessary documents that will be used to back up your claim.

Please get in touch with me by calling my numbers below or by my alternative email ir0000p@gmail.com  and send to me your,telephone and fax numbers to enable us discuss further on this transaction.

Kind Regards,
Barrister Paul Andrews

Bowen Atkinson Scam

Hello,

How is business in your country? I am Mr Huang, Bank Manager of Bank of Taiwan. Please keep the contents of this mail confidential. A British Oil Contractor Mr. Bowen Atkinson made a numbered time fixed deposit of $30,000,000.00 for 12 calendar months and not too long he died in a plane crash.

We have launched an investigation into possible surviving next of kin to claim his estate but in his biodata form, he listed no next of kin. I alone have the deposit details and my bank will release the deposit to no one unless evidence of relationship with the deceased, which I shall provide. My bank has no single idea of the history or nature of the deposit and they are simply awaiting my instructions to release the deposit to any party that I present to them. I wish to present you as the direct beneficiary to the deposit. I will furnish you with detail of this transaction upon your reply to my private email mrhuang0000003@yahoo.com.tw

Late Imam Warith Deen Mohammed

We are not sure you received our previous letter wherein we expressed our grave concerns about the estate of our late client. On behalf of the Trustees and Executors of the late Muslim Philanthropist, Imam Warith Deen Mohammed, we wish to notify you once again that the late Imam Warith Deen Mohammed, made you one of the beneficiaries to his last will bequeathed the sum of GBP9,708,692.00 to you in the codicil and last testament to his last will which is 11% of his total funds of GBP88,260,443.00.

This may sound very strange and unbelievable to you, but it is one hundred percent real and true. Late Imam Warith Deen Mohammed; being a widely popular traveled man, must have been in contact with you in the past or simply you were nominated to him by one of his numerous friends here or abroad who wished you well.

Imam Warith Deen Mohammed, the reclusive American-born philanthropist was born Wallace D. Muhammad. He was the seventh child of Elijah and Clara Muhammad. He was their first child who was born a Muslim. Elijah Muhammad, referred to as the Honorable Elijah Muhammad by his followers, led the Nation of Islam, an organization considered by some to be a kind of black Ku Klux Klan. But for the many African Americans who became members and for thousands of sympathizers the Nation of Islam provided an answer to racial oppression.

According to him this money is to support religious and humanitarian activities and to help the poor and the needy in our society.

Please if we reach you as I am hopeful, endeavor to get back to us as soon as possible to enable me conclude my job. I hope to hear from you in no distant time.

Inheritance Fund Release Scam

Payment Purpose: Inheritance Fund Release

Payment Value: $5,500,000.00 dollars

Authorized Paying Bank: Union Bank of Nigeria

Transaction Reference Code: UBN/KTT/27890/0000/010

Payment Approval Date: 01/12/2010

Dear Beneficiary,

My name is Dr. John Eze. I am the newly appointed Director Union Bank of Nigeria and the 10th Director of the Union Bank of Nigeria. I assumed duty as Director, Union Bank of Nigeria on June 4, 2010 at the Bank's Corporate Head Office in Abuja following the confirmation of my nomination by the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria on Wednesday, June 3, 2010.

However, acting in my capacity as the newly appointed Director of the UBN, I have been by the Senate National Assembly to check through the statutory disk of every payment pending during the last quarter of the year. Hence, your payment file has been forwarded to my desk for final approval.

Therefore, after vetting and verification about the source and origin of your funds, I am convinced 100% that the $5,500,000.00 dollars part payment is a legitimate contract/inheritance claim. Hence, I have granted approval for the release of the $5,500,000.00 dollars in your favor. For this reason, your payment has been rightfully approved and will be paid out directly into your bank account via "automatic swift transfer" from our Electronic transfer unit.

Already, all transfer processing has been concluded in line with the new UBN Payment Policy. But before the $5,500,000.00 dollars can be credited into your bank account, a "Payment Release Code" must be issued to you personally from the Electronic Transfer Unit, which will enable your funds to be credited into your bank account within 2 hours.

Issuance of the "Payment Release Code" is in total compliance with the Principles of the Banking Codes on Money Laundering and it is also in accordance with the new UBN Payment Policy. Hence, issuance of the "Payment Release Code" attract a fee of $350 dollars only; and the $350 dollars is the only fee you will be requested to pay for the final release of your funds. Every and all other fees will be deducted at source automatically.

However, on the note of receiving your inheritance funds, you are requested to forward the details of your receiving bank account; as well as make arrangement to secure and send the issuance fee of $350 dollars for the "Payment Release Code". The $350 dollar fee must be sent through Western Union or Money Gram with the name of the Payment officer at the Electronic Transfer Unit Mr. Samuel Sadoh as per the below details:

Name: Samuel Sadoh

Secret Question: Colour

Answer: Black

Amount: $350 USD

I am expecting to receive your earliest reply and details of your receiving bank account, as well as the details of payment for the $350 dollars. My direct telephone number is +234-8078-929-147

Yours Sincerely,

Dr John Eze

P.S: Please note that all other authorities handling your payment has been stopped by the FBI. Hence, the UBN has been appointed as the sole authority in-charge of your fund release.Therefore, you are advised to stop further communication with any other office or financial institution handling your payment.
