Scam email: "Attorney Chris Osaro Representing Mr. Daniel _____"

Scam Money Transfer Emails:
"Attorney Chris Osaro Representing Mr. Daniel _____"

Here's another "attorney with a dead client who had millions in a bank account" scam. This one using the name "Chris Osaro".  In this particular case, the surname (last name) used is "Ware", but the scammer will change that to match YOUR last name!  Also, don't look too hard for "Chris Osaro". THAT'S a made-up name, too!  The scammers will keep changing the names.  Look at the pattern instead!

Key passages that are clues to the scam are highlighted, such as poor grammar, poor punctuation, spelling errors, keep confidence and secret, etc.  And noticed that the money always comes from some poor deceased man, with no known family.  It's amazing how many (according to the scammers) extremely wealthy people have no heirs, no friends and most of all, no will!
