I received an email from Phillips Taylor soliciting my assistance with recouping $5million dollars that belonged to his father, Charles Taylor.
He advised me to contact "his attorney friend" who would help with this mission.
Upon contact with "Robert Clarkson", he in turn, advised that he would contact the bank in London where the money is being held in the name of a deceased American (because if the government found out the money belonged to Charles Taylor, it would be taken).
After days of communication back and forth with "Barclays bank", and after days of them sending forged documents to me which were supposed to convince me that the money is being transferred into "my account", upon the last day, "the head of the finance department", "Jonathan Britton" advised me that 4, 992 British pounds, (which translate to $8, 221.69 USD), needed to Western Unioned or wire transferred before the deposit could be made to "my bank".
Needless to say, I don't think anyone is that stupid to send out that amount of money Western Union to someone they don't know, based on paperwork that is being forged and sent online and hasn't been verified.
The first red flag was, when I filled out the paperwork for this "Inheritance Payment", "the bank" never asked me for any identification to verify my identity, nor was anything verified as per the "banking information", which was non-existent. So how could money be sent to an account that does not even exist?... Who knows? I must admit they had a good plan because the Real Barclays bank email is barclays.com and the criminals used barclaysbnkintl.org. (So if one is not careful, you can easily get caught up in this scam.)
Then I called "Mr. Taylor" over the phone, which is now based in London. and advised him that I would have my attorney to investigate all of this and before I could say another word, he asked me to call him back. I stated, "no, you call me back" and he agreed... Need I say it? No call, of course.
This is just a bunch of crap and I advise anyone to be careful to not indulge in this sort of crap, if you are easily influenced or doesn't have the proper resources to investigate this stuff... As the old saying goes, "if it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is". Just think about it... Who would entrust someone they don't know with millions of dollars? Especially someone in a different country and they don't even know if the name used online is even real?
Some people seek the quick fix, however, there isn't one..Nothing comes that easily..
