I wish to intimate you with a request that would be of immense benefit to y=
ou
and me. Being an executor of WILL, it is possible that we may be
tempted to make fortune out of our client situation, when we cannot help it=
,or
left with no better option.

The issue I am presenting to you is about my client who WILLED a fortune to=

his next-of-kin.

It was most unfortunate that he and his next-of-kin died on the same day pl=
ane 
crash (Flight AF4590) which crashed on July 31st 2000 killing all 109 peopl=
e
on board.Engineer Christian Eich, a German who Ran carmaker BMW's .

 I am now faced with confusion of who to pass the fortune to.

According to the English law, the fortune is supposed to be bequeathed to t=
he
government. However,i dont belong to that school of thought which proposes=

that the fortune of unlucky people be given to the government.

I seek your assistance to act as the beneficiary of the inheritance, and la=
y
claim to the legacy(=A33.5million pounds sterling),which this my unfortunat=
e
client bequeathed to his next-of-kin.

 For now, It is only known to me, as my client has great confident in me.

Everything will be left between you and I. The share would be 40% for you a=
nd
60% for me.All I have to do is to amend the WILL stating you as the
beneficiary to the =A33.5million pounds sterling.

I prefer not to divulge my full identity so as not to risk being debarred.

The English Bar considers it a breach of the oath of the English Bar Counci=
l.
I need not emphasize to you that the sensitivity of this issue need not be=

toyed with by neglecting its confidentiality.

At this point I want to assure you that your true consent, full cooperation=

and confidentiality are all that are required for us to take full advantage=

of this great opportunity.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours truly,
Barr.Michael Edwin

The above is the actual scammer email received. It has been scrubbed of recipient information.
If you received an email like this you have several choices.

Ignore the scammer. Do not respond to emails. Just delete them.
Respond, but only to lead the scammer on--to get a counterfeit check, to report stolen credit card numbers, and to waste the scammer's time. Time spent trying to scam you is time not spent scamming someone else.
Report the scammer to us and we'll post their emails so others will know about that scammer.

Whichever option you choose make sure you do the following:

DO NOT educate the scammer in any way. Educating a scammer makes them better at scamming the next person.
DO NOT let the scammer know that YOU KNOW they are a scammer. The scammer will always be nice to you if they think there's a chance they may still be able to scam you. If they know they've been discovered they will often threaten you. Their threats are empty, but are scary to some people.
DO NOT give the scammer any personal information that they cannot find in a phone book (name, address, and phone.) Feel free to give them lots of incorrect information.

For more information you may contact us by email, email form, or by phone at (801) 277-0888.
