alison
I got one like yours recently and I have been playing along with him so that I can get all the e-mails together and submit them to the FBI.  In my case he is a attorney for a family that died in a car crash and he wants to say I am their realitive.  I keep telling him it is a scam and that I know that it is and he says that it is not and that they are going to send a diplomat over here with my money as I do not have a bank account.  I will try to forward these e-mails to you so that you can post them also on your site so people can see their e-mail addresses.

Attention; Friend ,
 
I am contacting you for the claim of my late client fund.I got your high esteem contact on a private email desperatsearch to my late client the same surname,may be you are the same family trees .He was deposited this funds with the U.T.B.But due to the urgency of this matter.
 
Let me start by introducing myself properly to you.I am Barrister Joseph Unuigbe the personnal Attorney to my late client Engr J.C.,(an oil Merchant with the Federal Government of Lome-Togo.
 
The bank now expects the Next of Kin to come forward as beneficiary. On the 21st of April 2004, My client, his wife and their only daughter were involved in auto crash along Topa express road. All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost there lives. Since then I have made several enquiries to your Country to locate any of my clients extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful.
 
After these several unsuccessful attempts,I decided to track this last name over the Internet, to locate any member of his family hence I contacted you.I have contacted you to assist in repartrating the fund valued at US$6.3million dollars left behind by my late client before it gets confisicated or declared unserviceable by the U.T.B of Lome-Togo where this Amount of money was deposited.
 
The said bank has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have his account confisicated within the next twenty one official working days. Since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the relatives for over  one year now, I seek the consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased since you have the same name with him, so that the proceeds of this account can be paid to you.
 
Therefore, on receipt of your positive response, we shall then discuss the modalities of transfer.I have all necessary information and legal documents needed to back you up for claim. All I require from you is your honest cooperation to enable us see this transaction through. I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. Please get in touch with me through this my email;josephunuigbe@sunumail.sn or my telephone number +228-938-5008 for more details.
 
Please,feel free to reach me,while leaving a message remember to include your full name and your direct telephone and fax number.

First off my last name I aquired from a previous marrage, therefore it is not my original last name.  Second I know for a FACT that this is a scam that your  trying to get people sucked in.  My mother, whom has a differnt last name, has recieved two e-mails just like this one where the people tradgically died and where in some small, pretty much unknown country.  Only in the two that she recieved the amount was 15 million U.S. dollars.  Try to find your next sucker somewhere else.  I will also be turning this to the authorities for them to investigate.

Dear Alison,
I am very pleased with your honesty.You frankly told me that my deceased client Late Engr Johan Choda Alison is not in any way your relation. This open truth has really endeared and won my interest over your person. Therefore whether he is your relation or not, I want us to carry out this transaction because you have actually won my confidence and all that it takes to believe somebody. I am here making you to understand that I have developed absolute trust on you for that your singular action. It portrayed a lot and I take you for that.
 
Since I have been on the search for the Alison in the past one year and uptill now have not been able to locate successfully anybody and the bank's deadline is almost at the door step, please I beg you in the name of humanity to mankind, to assist in making claim of this fund from the bank. The bank has given me series of notice, as the deceased personal attorney to help locate Engr J.C.Alison family or the money will be confiscated by the State or the bank.
 
Since I know very well what obtains in this country when cases like that comes up.The top officers in the bank or the powers that be in the finance ministry share the confiscated funds among themselves and not even to the purse of the government. For the fact that, I don't want it to go to the wolves, this is why I want us to claim this money and get it disbursed in line with my deseased client's spirit when he was alive. He was very fond of helping the needy, donating money to Charity homes, in a nut shel, he was a humanitarian of no comparisim in his time.So we shall as well donate much of this fund for humanitarian activities.
 
Bear in mind as i earlier stated in my previous mail that if nobody is presented to the bank as next of kin to my late client  who will be entitled to the fund,it will be frozen at the expiration of the deadline given by the bank and the board of directors will share it amongst themselves.
 
At this point we have to proceed immediately and ensure that we work with trasparency and achieve the best of result in this transaction.Once i receive your reply,then i will draft the  application text  that you will fill and send it to me to demand for the release/ transfer of this fund to your bank account as the next of kin, because we are only few days away from the final deadline given by the bank for the legal next of kin to apply for the claim.
 
Again i will take care of the bills here to make sure that this fund move from my country,and again It is very important that i inform you i will be entitled of 50% as my own share of the fund once you receive the money to your bank account.
 
Wait to hear from you soonext.

 
  Thanks for your anticipated co-operation.
 
Thanks,
Joseph Unuigbe

I still believe this to be a scam/hoax!!!!!!!  I will however have the authorities investigate this while I play along with your little game.  I will fill out the papers and e-mail them back to you,but I will NOT give you my social securtiy number or my drivers license number as these are to easy to use as a way of ripping me off.  You would have to send me a certified cashiers check for my amount of the money as I do not have a bank account (although with the money I could open one).  I will not donate the money to any one I will disperse it as I see fit not how you want it and I don't believe that you are to get 50% but what do I really care what you get as this is a scam, right.  After all a person can live off the interest of just 1 million for the rest of thier lives let alone the 3.3 million that I should be getting after you get your share.  I again believe this to be a complete hoax/scam and that your just out to screw people over and get thier personal information where you then screw up thier credit ans thier lives by doing identity theft.  I again must tell you that I will be turning these e-mails over to the proper authorities to be investigated.  If you still want to proceed with your little scam you can e-mail me back.  Maybe if you sent me copies of the banks notifications and legal documents I might be more apt to believe you.  Have a nice day!!!!!1

The diplomat will need to come to Texas in order to get my money to me.  I do not mean to offend you when I say that this is a scam it is that there are so many people out there now days that are trying to run a scam.  I apoligize if I have offended you.  I am just having a hard time believing that I am to recieve any money since my last name was from a previous mariage.  I do have a few questions for you.  Will they be taking your half out before my half is brought to me?  What will the diplomate need from me so that I can have my money?  Will I just need to show him my drivers license?  Should I get an attorney for the transaction? What all is involved for this person to bring me the money and how will it be brough, ie: check, cash,????  How long will it take for them to be able to bring it to Texas?  Will this all be done and over with by the first part of March 2007?  I still have a hard time believing this1  I hope that you are on the up and up and that this does go through and work out for both of us.  I have absolutely no problem giving you half if this is all good.  Half of 3.6 million is more then I would ever hope to see in my life time and with two kids I could certainly use this money, exspecially considering they are getting close to the teenage year. 23  I hope to hear back from you soon.

Dear Madam,
 I received your mail.My sister let me tell you the truth this is truth,why i said this is because where they have scam they have real that is why i want you to see it by your self through cash payment.
 
In your Questions what you have to present your drivers license or your international passport for identifcation to the diplomat to able him pay you the fund as the owner of that fund as i have arranged it to be,Again this is cash matter you can not involved person to avoid any gang to take away the fund.
 
All is you if you want the diplomat to come in your country this week the bank will arranged it for you,so far you will take care for the dipomat once he arrive in your country and call you on phone that he is in usa.Again once you receive this fund from the diplomat then you will make me a way to come over there,so that we can see face to face for me to receive my own share of the fund.
 
What i hear from the bank today is that by tommorrow the bank will reach you for the fund,and once they reach you try to update me immediately,so that i will adivce you on what you will do next.But why can you give me your number so that i can call you or you want to sit on this fund once your receive the fund from the diplomat,because you don't want to give it to me.

I have told you before that I have no problem giving you your share of the money but I do NOT have a phone.  As for me getting the diplomat here and you here I do not have the means to do this.  I have absolutely no money to my name.  I am a mother of two kids and only work part time.  I am  on welfare to help me to pay for my food and rent here.  The diplomat and yourself would have to find your own way here and a place to stay.  You both would have to travel to Texas in order for me to be able to get the money.  To let you know how broke I am my last pay check for two weeks was $3.00 after our taxes and the payment that I owed my boss for work that he had done on my pets for me, so you see I can't afford to pay for myself to travel anywhere let alone anyone else.  Thank is another reason I had asked if the money could be sent throung a bank issued casier check.  I wait to hear back from you soon.

I again find myself apoloigizing to you.  I did find out that the 228 is your country code.  I had just entered the number as it shows up and that is why it came up out of Mississippi.  If I would have had a phone I would have tried to call you by just dialing 1-288-938-5008.  I have no idea how to even call another country.
 
I agree that this money would help me out also.  What did the bank say about sending me a bank issued cashier check?  Is the bank going to try to charge a a fee for getting my money like the other banks were trying to do to all these other people?  If they require a fee to get my money then they are not on the up and up as it shouldn't cost anything to get our money from them.  I hope that we can have this all done by this weekend.  I of course will have to take it to a bank and see if it is really a good check as here in our country people have been recieving bank checks and drafts from other countries to find out when they try to cash them at their bank they are not worth the paper they are printed on.  I seems that these people are going to office supply stores and buying blank cashier checks and bank drafts and filling them out and then sending them to the people telling them it is from an inheritance from some long lost realative.  When the people here try to cash them they are the ones going to jail for a long time for trying to pass worthless checks/drafts.  I know it is hard to believe that some people out there are so dishonest.  I hope this exsplains to you why I am so skeptical about all this, as it sound so much like all these scams going on.  I can't wait for you to prove me wrong!!!!!!!  It sounds like we could BOTH use this money.

I did not recieve an e-mail from the bank, but after reading what you have sent to me I can plainly see that this is not a legitimate transaction.  If it were legitimate then they would NOT be asking for any type of money as it does NOT cost to be able to recieve your inheritance.  This is just like all the other scams that I have read about, sooner or later they all ask for money.  I know for a fact that it you do not have to pay anything to a bank to recieve your inheritance as a friend of mine just recently had her mother die and she didn't have to pay a penny to get her inheritance.  Too bad you were unable to prove me wrong, I knew that sooner or later the truth would come out.  Have a nice day and better luck with the next person that you try to pull this on.
 
Alison

After reading the e-mail that you sent the "attorney" I can see that this is just another scam.  This scam has been going around to other people in the states for a long time now.  It is all the same where someone contacts us through the internet and says that we are the long lost relative to a person who died tradgically with their entire family and then the whole ordeal starts.  At the end there is always a "bank" that says that we have to pay in order to get our money from you the bank.  Then those that are stupid enought to send the money either never hear from you again or the get a fake bank draft or cashiers check.  I know for a fact that it doesn't matter how long the account has been dormant it does NOT cost anything to open it back up as I use to have an account that hasn't had anything done with it for about 6 years and they said that it would be opened right back up if I wanted to at no charge.  If this was a legitimate transaction I wouldn't have to pay anything to get my money or it would be taken directley out of the inheritance money.  I would have also had you send the money to me via the Western Union.  I will NOT send you a dime!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  If you want to do this the legal way then you will wire transfer the entire $6.3 million US dollars to me immediately through Western Union and you will notify me with the tracking number from Western Union immeditately.
 
Have a nice day.

. We leave Alison here. The scammer probably haven't given up yet, so Alison can waste some more of his time. After all, this is better than the scammer using his time on a real victim.
