Scam Money Transfers
from Lawyers / Barristers
Example - Anthony. W. Blair
"With a wealthy dead client named, Mr. Bernard, who put YOU in his
WILL"
Have you received an email from "Anthony. W. Blair", claiming
that he is an attorney for a dead wealthy man (Mr. Bernard, in this case) who named YOU in his will?
It's a mystery who the dead guy is or why he named you, but you better reply
pretty quickly or risk losing millions from the "WILL". And for some reason, the
word, Will, appears in capital letters throughout the email. Along with a
description of what a great guy the dead man was... which is pretty strange in a
business letter from a law firm, isn't it? Also notice that the "lawyer" is writing to you from a free email account (Yahoo, Hotmail, etc.) Of
course, even if this were true; you would be committing several felonies,
including fraud.
If you are still salivating and eager to fill out the form, we
can assume you get scammed frequently, as this is simply another fraud to
separate you from your money (that is, whatever money you have left after being
scammed before).

About Mr. Bernard's Estate,
My name is Anthony W. Blair. I am contacting you regarding the estate (Mr.
Bernard's estate). I used to be late Bernard’s personal attorney. He was a
consultant/contractor with Gardiner & Theo bald, a leading firm for oil project
and cost management consultants in Iraq, Kuwait & in UK. He is late now (May his
soul rest in peace).
Late Engr. Bernard died in a bomb blast last year in Turkey. His unfortunate
death left a lot of confusion around his financial status which till date has
not yet been resolved. Been a native of Hungary residing here in the UK, I was
not fully away of his family before his death as they did not reside here with
him. I have made efforts to track down his family members without any luck. I am
afraid now that his estate will be confiscated by the UK government in future
since he died without leaving a will or a beneficiary to his estate except
otherwise. But this of course will take at least four years from now and if no
one comes to make claims, then the government can claim it.
I am most concerned with a certificate that late Bernard gave me. My former
client told me of a diamond business which he had done and left me in care of
the CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSIT which he used to lodge some funds in a vault firm,
this is to the tune of $12.4m (Twelve million four Hundred thousand Dollars) as
written on the certificate. The certificate in question does not have a next of
kin name filled in it. I have made my investigations and I can confidently say
that since his death, no one has come to lay claims of it.
PROPOSITION:
My proposition to you is that I now seek your permission to have you stand as
the beneficiary/next of kin to the deposit. We can achieve this sole aim
legitimately and that is the whole essence of life. I believe this move is
justified as I am not sure what will become of this deposit should this
information get into the wrong hands or left alone. My guess is that the company
where it is lodged will confiscate it.
CONDITION:
Please furnish me at once, a Guarantee or letter of acceptance and direct
Telephone and fax numbers. We would engage in a two way split of the deposit. If
this is acceptable by you, please endeavor to Contact me immediately.
Regards,
Anthony. W. Blair.
