a new scam

[carratt]

I just received this letter by email and thought you guys might get a kick out of it.

Having obtained your contact from the internet and
coupled with my deep interest to invest in your country, I decided
to contact and solicit your mutual assistance.
I am Mr. Andy Morris ,Branch Manager, Westpac Banking
Corporation London.

On January 6th 1999, one Mr. Mohamed Kamal Yasser ,an
Egyptian National,a consultant/contractor with Gardiner &
Theobald,a leading firm of project and cost management
consultants, made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit,
valued at 19,500,000.00(Nineteen Million,Five Hundred Thousand
Pounds) for twelve calender months in my Bank Branch.
Upon Maturity, we sent a routine notification to his
forwarding address but got no reply. After a month,
we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his
contract employers (Gardiner & Theobald) that Mr. Mohamed
Kamal Yasser died from air disaster in October 31st, 1999.

(http://www.greatdreams.com/PassEAir990.htm)

On further investigation, it was discovered that he died
without making a WILL (En-state) and all attempts to trace
his next of kin was fruitless.
On further investigations, it was discovered that Late Mr
Mohamed Kamal Yasser did not declare any next of kin or
relations in all his official documents, including his Bank
Deposit paper work here at the Bank.
The total sum, 19,500,000.00 pounds is still in my bank and the
interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the
end of each year. No one will ever come forward to
claim it.

In accordance with the Banking Federal Laws and
constitution, at the expiration of 5 (five) years, the
money will revert to the ownership of the Government
if nobody applies as the next of Kin to claim the funds.
Consequently, I shall present you as a foreign partner to
stand in as the next of kin to late Mr. Mohamed Kamal
Yasser so that you and I can benefit from the fruits
of this old man's labour to enhance humanitarian Organisation
Worldwide.

Upon acceptance of this proposal, I shall send to you
either by fax or email a scanned copy of the Westpac
Banking Corporation "Next of Kin Payment Application
Form" as well as detailed information on how this deal
would be transacted.
We shall employ the services of a solicitor for the
drafting of the LAST WILL & TESTAMENT of Late Mr.
Mohamed Kamal Yasser and to obtain all other relevant papers
in your name for the necessary documentation for payment
approval in my bank headquarters in your favour.
The money will be shared in the ratio:
Sixty percent for me, thirty five percent for you and
five percent for any arising contigencies during the
course of this transaction.

I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate
arrangements that will protect you from any breach of
the law as I will use my position as the Bank's Branch
Manager to secure approvals and guarantee the successful
execution of this transaction. It will take only 7-10 working
days to conclude this transaction.
Please be informed that your utmost confidentiality
is required. If this interests you, please reply me immediately
through my private email adress(andymorris2005@web-mail.com.ar)
and include your private phone number for voice contact
and fax number so that I can provide you with more details and
relevant documents that will help you understand the
transaction.

Awaiting your urgent reply.
Thanks,
Andy Morris

How can people be so stupid to fall for this kind of crap.

[chippa6]

people are greedy - they always want something for nothing and without hard work. - I know! that why I buy a lotto ticket :nutsycuck

yeah been getting heaps of them lately, called phishing, a form of social engineering.

The funny (or not) thing about it is that 5% of people respond, and thats more than enough to keep it going...

To all of my friends, I do not usually forward messages, But this is
from my good friend Pearlas Sandborn and she really is an attorney.
If she says that this will work - It will work. After all, What have you
got to lose? SORRY EVERYBODY.. JUST HAD TO TAKE THE CHANCE!!! I'm an
attorney, And I know the law. This thing is for real. Rest assured AOL
and Intel will follow through with their promises for fear of facing a
multimillion-dollar class action suit similar to the one filed by
PepsiCo against General Electric not too long ago.
Dear Friends; Please do not take this for a junk letter. Bill Gates

sharing his fortune. If you ignore this, You will repent later.

I thought this was a scam myself, But two weeks after receiving this
e-mail and forwarding it on. Microsoft contacted me for my address and
withindays, I receive a check for $24,800.00. You need to respond before
the beta testing is over. If anyone can affoard this, Bill gates is the
man.
It's all marketing expense to him. Please forward this to as many people
as possible. You are bound to get at least $10,000.00. We're not going
to help them out with their e-mail beta test without getting a little
something for our time. My brother's girlfriend got in on this a few
months ago. When i went to visit him for the Baylor/UT game. She showed
me her check. It was for the sum of $4,324.44 and was stamped "Paid in
full"
Like i said before, I know the law, and this is for real.
Intel and AOL are now discussing a merger which would make them the
largest Internet company and in an effort make sure that AOL remains the
most widely used program, Intel and AOL are running an e-mail beta test.
When you forward this e-mail to friends, Intel can and will track it( if
you are a Microsoft Windows user)for a two week time period.
TRy it; What have you got to lose?
