Did you receive an email from a "Barky Coullbary" who
is
"LOOKING FOR A BUSINESS PARTNER TO CLIAM THIS MONEY SINCE YOU HAVE THE SAME NAME WITH THE
OWNER OF THE ACCOUNT" The usual dead,
wealthy person with no will and no heirs and you have the same last name - scam!
Even if this were all true, you would be committing several
felonies and would end up in prison. In reality, it is all a scam.
Barky Coullbary (not his real name, obviously) hopes to con you into sending money for various "fees" to free the fortune.

DEAR SMITH
I KNOW THAT THIS LETTER MAY COME TO YOU AS A SURPRISE ,
I AM LOOKING FOR
A BUSINESS PARTNER TO CLIAM THIS MONEY SINCE YOU HAVE THE SAME NAME WITH THE
OWNER OF THE ACCOUNT , YOU HAVE A FULL RIGHT TO CLAIM THE FUND FROM OUR
BANK. IN ORDER TO TRANSFER OUT (USD 7.2MILLION DOLLARS) FROM OUR BANK, I
HAVE THE COURAGE TO ASK YOU TO LOOK FOR A RELIABLE AND HONEST PERSON WHO
WILL BE CAPABLE FOR THIS IMPORTANT BUSINESS BELIEVING THAT
YOU WILL NEVER LET ME DOWN EITHER
NOW OR IN FUTURE.
I AM MR BARKY COULLBARY, AN ACCOUNTANT WITH A PRIME BANK IN ABIDJAN,COTE D'IVOIRE. THERE IS AN ACCOUNT OPENED IN THIS BANK IN 1996 AND SINCE 2000
NOBODY HAS OPERATED ON THIS ACCOUNT AGAIN. AFTER GOING THROUGH SOME OLD
FILES, I DISCOVERED THAT IF I DO NOT REMIT THIS MONEY OUT URGENTLY IT WILL
BE FORFEITED FOR NOTHING.
THE OWNER OF THIS ACCOUNT IS ONE MRS L. SMITH, A FOREIGNER AND THE MANAGER OF PETRO-TECHNICAL SUPPORT SERVICES, A CHEMICAL ENGINEER BY PROFESSION AND SHE DIED SINCE 1999. NO OTHER PERSON KNOWS ABOUT THIS
ACCOUNT OR ANY THING CONCERNING IT.
THE ACCOUNT HAS NO BENEFICIARY AND MY INVESTIGATION PROVED TO ME AS WELL
THAT THIS COMPANY DOES NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS ACCOUNT. THE AMOUNT
INVOLVED IS (USD 7.2MILLION DOLLARS).
I AM CONTACTING YOU BECAUSE OF THE
NEED TO INVOLVE A FOREIGNER WITH A FOREIGN ACCOUNT AS BEING THE BENEFICIARY.
I WILL NEED YOUR EVERY CO-OPERATION TO MAKE THIS WORK FINE, BECAUSE THE
MANAGEMENT IS READY TO APPROVE THIS PAYMENT TO ANY FOREIGNER WHO HAS
CORRECT INFORMATION ABOUT THIS ACCOUNT AND WHICH I WILL GIVE TO YOU IMMEDIATELY
YOU INDICATE YOUR INTEREST TO HANDLE SUCH AMOUNT IN STRICT CONFIDENCE AND
TRUST.
WHAT I NEED IS AN HONEST AND TRUSTWORTHY PERSON BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO
MAKE MISTAKES. WITH MY POSITION NOW IN THE OFFICE I CAN TRANSFER THIS MONEY TO
ANY FOREIGNER WITH A RELIABLE ACCOUNT WHICH I THINK YOU CAN PROVIDE AND
WITH AS ASSURANCE THAT THIS MONEY WILL BE INTACT PENDING MY PHYSICAL ARRIVAL
IN YOUR COUNTRY FOR SHARING.
I WILL DESTROY ALL DOCUMENTS OF TRANSACTION IMMEDIATELY WE RECIEVE THIS MONEY LEAVING NO TRACE TO ANY PLACE. YOU CAN ALSO COME TO DISCUSS WITH ME
FACE TO FACE AFTER WHICH I WILL MAKE THIS REMITTANCE IN YOUR PRESENCE AND
TWO OF US WILL FLY TO YOUR COUNTRY AT LEAST TWO DAYS AHEAD OF THE MONEY
GOING INTO YOUR ACCOUNT. I WILL APPLY FOR MY LEAVE TO ENABLE ME GET A VISA IMMEDIATELY I HEAR FROM YOU THAT YOU ARE READY TO ACT AND RECEIVE THIS
FUND IN YOUR ACCOUNT.
I WILL USE MY POSITION AND INFLUENCE TO EFFECT LEGAL APPROVALS AND ONWARD
TRANSFER OF THIS MONEY TO YOUR ACCOUNT. TRUST ME. AT THE CONCLUSION, YOU
WILL BE HAVE 45% OF THE TOTAL AMOUNT,45% WILL BE FOR ME, WHILE 10% WILL BE FOR
EXPENSES BOTH PARTIES MIGHT HAVE INCURED DURING THE PROCESS OF THE
TRANSFER. I LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR EARLIEST REPLY.
YOURS TRULY,
MR BARKY COULLBARY
