Scam Money Transfers
from Lawyers / Barristers
Example - Brodies LLP Law Firm
"Wealthy dead client's name: Engr.Miklos
Szótára"
Have you received an email from "Brodies LLP Law Firm", claiming
that he is an attorney for a dead wealthy man (Engr.Miklos
Szótára, 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.)
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).

undelivered. I hereby attempt to reach you again by this same email address
stated on the WILL. I wish to notify you that late Engr. Miklos Szótára made
you a beneficiary to his WILL. He left the sum of Seven Million One Hundred
Thousand Dollars (USD$7,100. 000.00 ) to you in the codicil and last
testament to his WILL.
Engr. Miklos Szótára until his death was a member of the Helicopter Society
and the Institute of Electronic & Electrical Engineers. He was a very
dedicated Christian who loved to be involved in charitable projects. His
great philanthropy earned him numerous awards during his life time.
Late Engr. Miklos Szótára died on the 9th day of March, 2006 at the age of
80 years, and his WILL is now ready for execution. According to him this
money is to support your humanitarian activities and to help the poor
and the needy in our society. Please if I reach you this time as I am
hopeful, endeavor to get back to me as soon as possible to enable me
conclude my job.
