I recently got a spam mail, which isn't anything special in itself. I'm not even sure why I took a closer look. I was just about to delete it when I saw that it was in Russian with Cyrillic letters. I don't speak Russian nor do I understand it. But when I saw that they had transcripted my last name (based on my mail address) into Cyrillic writing, I got a bit more interested.

Again, Google Translate proves to be helpful here:
Dear (name),

To begin with, I thank you for your good questions as to learn more about my late client and the transaction.

My late client, Mr. de ma Emil (name) was president of foreign contractors in the Economic Community of West African States, and he spent most of his time living here in Togo, and I was his lawyer for over 20 years before his untimely death in car accident took his life and his family in 2008.

I am still the legal representative of his estate, and it is for this reason that the bank, in which he made ​​a general fund in the amount (13580000 dollars) informed me of his intentions to confiscate its general fund, if I do not submit someone then claim your fund in their custody, in accordance with their banking policy and decision-making.

My contact you due notice was given to me by the bank to present the successor of the fund in their custody, and as such, your presentation does not constitute a violation of the law, because it is legally acceptable for one to make a statement in which his or her stand defended legally. More to this legal basis is further explained below.

I have no doubt, or what so ever that you are able to handle this transaction, and I want to make it knowledgeable you that our law and the Constitution is very clear on the transfer of estates of the deceased to the next of kin.

The same name you are giving him a good advantage in all standards and it is for this reason that I contacted you, is not a thing of immorality or illegal for you to stand as the bona fide next of kin, because you bear the same surname with my late client and remains within the range of the law to achieve this goal.

In addition to the legality and legitimacy of your stand as heir to note that the following relationship is not limited to direct family or blood relations in the death of a person, but can be extended to anyone example: a friend, business partner, wife, and well-wishers, the orphan, or who) as long as he / she has the same surname with the deceased person.

Now you can understand why I can not claim this fund, because I do not bear the same surname with my late client, which is why I sincerely ask for your help in this matter in other to avoid confiscation of his bank from the general fund.

As his personal lawyer and legal adviser is my duty to ensure that the next of kin, and who I represent in the bank automatically becomes the beneficiary of the fund and the bank will have no choice but to pass the estate to him / her as a bona fide next of kin to my late client.

Now you can understand why I want this transaction to be completed as soon as possible so that I can have enough money to fly my daughter to India for better treatment (kidney transplant), and the doctor advised.

I spent my savings, trying to give her treatment at the hospital until I get someone who has the same surname with my late client, that will help me to complete this transaction.

Therefore, I would appreciate it if you read this letter and get back to me immediately to enable us to start the action. May I take this opportunity to once again assure you that this device is free transaction without consequences afterwards because every process from start to finish will be legally processed to protect your interest from any breach of the law, which may relate to matters of inheritance.

4 The fact that you will help me for investment purposes after the fund must have been transferred into your account, and I will fly my little sick daughter to India for treatment.

5 What will you follow all the instructions and make sure that this transaction is successful and keep it very confidential even from your close friend, to make sure that both sides of the security provided before the transaction is completed.

A spammer sent me a email with a document that contained a payment code about 10 days ago. I got spam mail for people wanting to marry me a couple of times.

I feel like replying at all is just a bad move. Scammers send these things out in bulk - if they find any person willing to reply, why wouldn't they hound them with twice as many messages, hoping to commit them to a scam?

My spam filter is working pretty well. I'm just sometimes deleting all those mails.


Just give them full access to your e-banking so can do all the money transfering.

not

Even if they had access to my e-banking, they couldn't do anything ;)

I like that he went with the deceased relative whose surname you share AND the my daughter is sick route. Double whammy, very impressive.
 
Is that his address on the bottom of the email?

Tell him you will pop round to see him with your lawyers at tea time to discuss the transaction, as you just happen to be in the neighbourhood.

I fear he won't reply then anymore. After all, it's a matter of trust, you know. If I were him, I would rather let my daughter die than help a person who doesn't trust me.

Thank you for your message and guarantee that assures me that you are the right person for this transaction.

This deal will last for about (14 working days), and the money will be transferred into your account. Because as soon as your application is approved by the bank, which marks the beginning of this

transaction. To start this transaction, I need the following information is up to you to allow me to prepare a request letter on your behalf and submit to the bank;

(1) Your full names:

(2) your residence or office address:

(3) Mobile Phones:

(4) Occupation:

(7) Nationality:

(8) A copy of the passport:

As soon as I receive the above information, I will prepare an application claims on your behalf, and to formally introduce you to the bank as the next real

relatives of my late client and the owner of its general fund in their custody. Keep in mind that the bank will be in direct contact with you as soon as I apply the latter to them, so you should always contact me when ever you get any information from a financial institution, so that we can put our heads together, as a family, and get this transaction completed successfully.

Waiting for your information, so I quickly prepare an application form and submit to the bank for this transaction to start on your behalf.

He also attached a copy of "his" passport. Let's see what he will be asking for next lol
 
A few times I have gotten spam from girls who say they are interested in meeting me, and just me. The funny thing is, it's not sent to me personally, but to the entire department at work. How do they think anyone would possibly fall for that?
 
I've gotten spam several times from girls saying they want me to join a site for them. I never sign up for the sights but it's fun to go along with the conversation. They are mostly bots so it's fun to see what they say to random movie quotes.
 
Well

The point of these things being so ridiculous from the outset is so that when somebody is genuinely suckered by the initial email, the scammers know that they're gullible enough to go the whole way.

I'm sure I read that once.

Dear brother,

As you and your family today? I hope you are fine and in good condition.

I thank you for providing the necessary information s when I needed you. I went to the bank and presented a draft request letter on your behalf.

My good brother, at this point you have to be very vigilant, because the bank may use any means to find out if you are the real next of kin to my late client.

You should keep this transaction very confidential and secret effort, because only you and I know very well that you can not be a real next of kin to my late client, but you are helping me to get the fund, so that the bank will not have any reason to to seize the Fund.

From my checks bank may also send you these offers and please do not reply to any at all so that it will not jeopardize the success of our transaction.

I also had the opportunity to discuss with the manager of the bank in relation to the urgency of this transaction, and it is fully assured me that they will contact you as soon as possible.

The attached document is a request letter I submitted to the bank on your behalf.

Thank you very much for your understanding and cooperation in advance and may continue that God will bless you as you continue to pray for my little sick daughter.

Sincerely your brother,
Lawyer Francis Damijo.


So what's happening now? He's not asking for anything. Let's all pray for his sick daughter!
 
OP give them your social security number, adress, credit card numbers, and phone number. sounds like your in good hands. you should have your inheritance in no time.
 
Tell him you need him to verify his identity by sending a picture with him holding a sign with NeoGAF written on it. Or something else. I'm not very funny.

DR.GILBERT UKAEGBU
FOREIGN REMITTANCE MANAGER

They attached a JPG of some document, asking for the death certificate and some certificate proving my family relationship. I forwarded that email to the other guy without any further comment.



Then Damijo Francis sent me the death certificate and some other document with reference to the bank account, which I was supposed to the bank.

My dear brother,

I thank you for sending the documents you received from the bank to me.

I am very pleased and happy that the bank contacted you about writing application I submitted to them on your behalf.

After reading the first document received from the bank, I realized that the bank made a request letter I submitted to them on your behalf and will have a meeting on how to transfer the total fund for you and the bank promised to you as soon as you send them your official requirements.

Bank has asked you to send them two documents as follows:

1) The death certificate of my late client

2) Its certificate of deposit of the fund

and the responses to their official issue, which would mean that you are really the next of kin to my late client and beneficiary of its general fund in their custody.

I was looking through my files and found office documents and answers, which the bank requested from you, as I promised to always be with you in this transaction and give you answers to any questions the bank may require from you in other to ensure that we achieve success in this transaction.

Two attached documents are evidence of the death of my late client its certificate of deposit, the bank gave him and the attached file contains answers to the questions of the bank official.

urgently send documents to the bank and let me know as soon as you have done this, and please do not change any thing in order to avoid mistakes that would jeopardize the success of this transaction.

Sincerely your brother,
Lawyer Francis Esq Damijo


As I was a bit busy these few days, I didn't check my mails on that account (well, it's basically my spam mail account) and the next day I got another mail asking whether I forwarded the documents already - seems to be really urgent.

The story continues...
