Please allow me to preface this information with following:
Firstly, from my searches this appears to be new, or has resurfaced. Yet another one for the Spam Killer type of application!
The most interesting fact that had he had my complete name and e-mail address. This is very interesting as I am extremely cautious when I disclose any personal information on the net.
(Although I realize this really is not that usual).
Additionally I have 15 E-addresses spread over 2 ISP's, multiple gateways, firewalls and UP TO DATE 8 mode Security Suite software, with multi-structured network domains and workgroups names for all of my computers.
- I do try my best to thwart off invaders!
*PLEASE NOTE; I DO NOT PROFESS TO KNOW IT ALL - BUT I DO TRY MY VERY BEST!
Anyway, I received a total of 3 e-mails sent to me within 7 minutes, the 1st, 2nd were 1 minute apart, but the 3rd was 6 minutes later, and sent to a female still showing my E-address (I am a male).
Of the three e-mails sent; only 2 had my full name in the header of the
E-mail!
The other name was a rather long hyphenated female name. I am male.
Also, being English myself, I find it hard to believe that this person could be associated for 12 years with any British financial institutions in the U.K. with the rather poor grammar and writing style!
All the above being said, the message reads as follows:
E-mail request subject line:
"ASSISTANCE NEEDED URGENTLY",
From one Mark Leonard at:
, Reply-To: .
"Hello X CHIMERA X,
Before I proceed, I must first apologize for this unsolicited mail to you. I am aware that this is certainly not a conventional way of approach to establish a relationship of trust, but you will realize the need for my action.
Please let me introduce my self to you as Mr. Mark Leonard, a British born Jamaican, I work with DBS Bank London, where I manage private clients accounts, as a matter of fact, I have been in charge of this duty for 12 years now. My motive for writing this mail to you is to inform you of an account belonging to Mr. Alexander Schmitz. Who has been my client for as long as I have been with DBS.
His account holds the sum of 8.3 million pounds the truth now is that Mr. Alexander Schmitz. Is late, and I have monitored his account with us for 4 years now, and to my greatest surprise, no one has come up for a claim till date. From my investigations and confirmation, my client left his next of kin column blank, and had a single on entry visa into the UK, which is why no one has knowledge of the deposit except us a DBS.
Hence the need to get in touch with you as one who I can present as a next of kin to assist in repatriating the money left behind by my late client before they get confiscated or declared unpayable, as I have been unsuccessful in locating a relative for over 3 years now.
Please be informed that the proceeds of this Deposit valued at 8.3 million pounds. Will be shared as follows: 80% for my colleagues and me, 20% to you. I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to backup any claim we may make. All I require is your Honest cooperation to enable this deal go through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate Arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the Law, as the funds did not originate from drug money or terrorism, but through inheritance.
I have discussed this matter with some of the banks official and we have all agreed to find a reliable partner to have this deal with, so that the funds can be released to you in your nominated account for shearing after due processes have been followed.
Please let me have your telephone and fax numbers to enable us discuss
further about this transaction"
Best Regards.
Mark Leonard

PSS I don't even get a proper % for my assistance - and with the spelling and grammar no wonder I found it "Junk Mail" folder!
