Title: i'm in the money.....................
Post by: kris on 17 July 2009, 18:57:39
just recieved this e-mail. would appear i have/had a wealthy relative.

I am Alan Chan,an attorney at law in Malaysia. A deceased client of mine,who shares the same last name as yours,died as the result of a heart-related condition on March 12th 2005. His heart condition was due to the death of all then known members of his family in the tsunami disaster on the 26th December 2004 in Sumatra Indonesia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004_Indian_Ocean_earthquake.

I can be reached on (barr_achanm@sify.com) for more information.My late Client has a deposit of Seventeen Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars (US$17.5 Million Dollars) left behind.

Best regards,

Alan Chan Chee Ming

You could always set up a hotmail account and reply using that (with some comment about not using the other anymore but they do get forwarded)
And he can deduct his fees before he sends your inheritance

Mrs. has won the australlian lottery 7 times now, she's almost a billionaire according to them so if she just sends all her bank details they'll transfer all the money into her account. It's amazing considering she doesn't do the australlian lottery  ;D

if its true they would have contacted the oldest living relative, and used post or tel. and not email.
I got one a couple of years back asking me to open an account so they could deposit 70milion and for all the work I could keep 40%.
theres a lot of things like that running about I think they call it phfishing so do not reply mate.

Both stupidity & greed know no bounds.

For these scams to continue and seemingly flourish as they seem to must mean it is worth the while of the organisers as so many people do respond and get ripped off! ::) ::) ::)

Sorry, but no sympathy at all for those stupid people who's pure greed leads them down that path.

Reminds me of the one i got last year from Africa.
It was a bit wierd as he wanted me to lie for a start by claiming i was somebody i wasn't.
Like yours some relative had died leaving someone with the same name as me 14.6million us dollars and all i had to do to get a percentage  was agree to put it (launder it) in my bank account.
I replied just for fun and the guy actually replied back with more details of what to do and yes as  someone earlier said wanted my bank account details.
I sent him false details which seemed to do the trick
