Hello, I am Miss Young. I received this sad story from a friend that lost all of his savings and a lot more. Let me call him Frederick. Go to the homepage to see more stories.

Hello Miss Young
Im sorry but within days of getting online and before I had got accustom to how things worked this to good to believe offer fell in to my laptop or desktop really. Im sorry but I feel for it and 1940 half of which was savings for me four children's christmas out of pocket which had taken me all year to save up. I am a single dad with four on income support so the carrot waved in front of my nose was very large indeed. I am still being asked to send another 2000 to get the final documents (The Death Certificate) to get my "inheritance" released and transferred to my account. Its only after getting used to how things worked on the net I put in some key word searches and came across all sorts of info including yours. Please find attached some files and documents. I feel a complete fool and I feel its ruined our christmas this year and it will take us a long while to recover as the other half of what I had sent has put me in dept with me bank so next christmas is not looking to good either. I have them on the line as they are still waiting for the 2000 but what worries me is they now have my full name, Address and phone number?

Hi Frederick,
I am sorry that you payed these criminals. The chances for getting your money back are very small. If you want to try, you must contact your local police.

The scammers normally ask for your personal information, just to make sure that you are serious. However, in a few cases they try identity theft. Read more about it here: http://www.idtheftcenter.org/index.shtml. If you gave them your bank account number, I suggest you contact your bank for advice.

They might try to contact you again. I suggest you ignore them as much as possible, and eventually they will stop bothering you and concentrate on another victim.

Dear Frederick.

I know that this mail will come to you as surprise, please accept the content in good faith. I donot intend to cause any grief to you and your family. The reason for sending this mail is very fundamental to the doctrine of human privileges and right. I am Barrister Thaddeus Koffi, a solicitor at law, personal attorney to a national of your country and a member of your family since he had the same family name with you Mr. Martin.A Frederick, and used to work with his Company in Lome Togo.

Here in after shall be referred to as my client. On the 25TH FEB 2002, my client,his wife and their only daughter were involved in a car accident along Nouvissi express Road. All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost there lives. Since then I have made several nquiries to your embassy here to locate any of my clients extended relatives,this has also proved unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts,I have reasoned very professionally and I feel it will be legally proper to present you as the next of kin of my deceased client, so that you can be paid the funds left in his Finance Firm.

I therefore seek your consent to present you as the Next of Kin to theDeceased since you are at an advantage, bearing the same surname and equally from the same country, that the proceeds of this Security Finance Company valued at $8.5M can be paid to you. We shall both share the funds. 40% for you and 55% for me, while 5% should be for Expenses or your Government may require Taxes. The said Finance Firm has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have his account confisicated. I expect your urgent response indicating your full interest in this great business to our both mutual trust. Your telephone and fax number will be needed for our easy communication

Subject: Detail Information.

Dear Mr Frederick,

Thank you for your prompt response to my emailed message and also for your believe and trust to me. I really appreciate your understanding and I consider it expedient to give you the details of this transaction. This transaction is legitimate and in essence it will undergo normal procedures as stipulated in the financial and allied matters act and all legal documents will be issued in your name. I contacted you because you share the same last name with my client Mr.Martin .A Frederick(blessed memory) and so you can lay claims to this huge amount he left behind as his next of kin. I will come over to your country for disbursement of the fund.

Late Mr.Martin .A. Frederick, operated a private company called MAF HOLDINGS He operated an account with Union Togolaise De Banque Lome-Togo until his death. He had a wife and Dughter who died alongside with him in an auto accident on the 25th Feb 2002. You must understand that in the finance industry,chances or opportunities like this are common but not heard. People put their monies in finance companies and some of these accounts are either coded or confidentially perated.

Therefore, when such people die what do you think that happens to these monies when nobody comes for their claims? Well, this is one of the numerous avenues good "free" monies are made within and amongst the officials. I did not mastermind my client's death and I did not operate or manage his account but i was his personal attorney so was privy to his transaction with the bank.

If you follow my instructions/directions and put in your maximum assistance and co-operation to this project, the money ($8.5 Million) United States Dollars will hit any Bank Account that you will provide for this transaction within (7) bank working days and I shall immediately fly to your country and meet you face to face to receive my share and plan for investment with part of my share under your kind assistance to me. You should also bear in mind that for business of this nature to succeed, we (you and me) have to be sincere, trustworthy and more importantly honest. I have taken you as my partner and strongly believe that you are not going to betray me or sit on this money when it eventually enters your account. I have suffered so much and have spent a lot of time in projecting this transaction to this stage before contacting you for us to execute the transfer to your account.

For that reason, I would not want you to frustrate all my efforts. You are not required to expose this transaction to anybody (your brother, your relation or even your bankers). Any news/information that report to the bank here that I am in arrangement/connection for the transfer of the funds to you may lead me into loosing this funds. So keep everything confidential/secret until the money enters your account and nothing more. I am counting on your financial expertise as it relates with this transaction, and counting on your great assistance and I hope you will not betray me at the end of the transaction by seating on the funds because I am handicap as government official. I also want you to see me as your brother living in Africa who are only trying to make live better and also guarantee the future of his family.

Please, call me on my private telephone number +228-900 68 00 accepting to work with me ( not to disappoint me along the line of processing for the transfer of the monev), then I will inform the Bank that I have found the next of kin to Late Mr. Martin A Frederick, then I then I will draft the FUND CLAIMING APPLICATION LETTER and send to you for re-faxing to the processing

 
I still have my doubts about his generous offer.

Subj: Guarantee Required.

Dear Frederick,

I must tell you this transaction is totally 100% risk free and believe me your dignity will hold in total confidence.

If you must know I will not want anything to jeopardise the success of this transaction because the future and the total joy and happiness of my family is depended on this transaction. My wife has been down in a sick bed for a long time because of a kidney malfunctioning and she needs a transplant. We are being referred to Isreal for the transplant and the cost we cannot afford. I have virtually spent all my life savings trying to save her life and now I am running debts.

My children has started loosing their motherly love and care and there is nothing I can do than to seek a way to bring back their mother home. So my dear What do you think that I should do? Watch helplessly while my wife die? No. I will appreciate it more if there are better hospitals in your country where she can do the transplant so that as soon as the money gets into your account we fly straight to your country.

I have think about doing this transaction with you and I accepted provided you guarantee me the following.

They are thus:-

1..You will not cheat me during the course of this transaction.
2..My own share of the money will be in your safe-keep until I come over to your country for sharing and further investment.
3..That you will keep this transaction very confidential even from your best friend for safety of both parties.
4..That you shall always contact me whenever you get information from the bank so that we will put heads together as one family and get this transaction consumated successfully.
5..That you have accepted the condition of percentage ratio as 5% to take care of all the expenses that both of us will incure during the process of completing this transaction ,40% for you as a gratification for championing and providing an account where this funds will be transfered as the beneficiary then 55% for me as the initiator and the masterminder.

As soon as I get your positive response to this my mail I will forward to you the payment application form together with the death certificate Late M.A Frederick, which you will fill and send it to the bank for immediately action

Subject: Approval advice.

Dear Frederick,

I am very happy hearing the good news about the approval.
As a matter of fact without wasting time I will advised you to come dawn here in Togo since you have been approved already.
You know when you come we shall use that opportunity to meet our face to face and also I might be returning with you back to UK. for investment with my own share.

Employing the service of an attorney will be fine but it will cost us higher than when you come over .
At this point those bank required legal back up document will cost money which will be paid before the final release of the funds to you so when you come over to do it by your self the attorney charges will not be involve so it things cheaper for us since all these required documents need to be paid for to their respective ministries to obtain the legal back up documents before the bank will do the final releasing of the funds into your nominated account.

Please when ever you send me mail just call me because my wife is critically ill so most times when I come back from work I will always stay with her in the hopspital though I am praying that this funds get to you as quickly as possible so that I will fligh her abroad for special treament as the doctors recommended here. I am on my way to the hospital to see my wife now because she is so dawn as I was informed on phone by her doctor.

Please get back to me urgently
God bless you.

Subject: Choice of attorney

Dear Frederick.

As I was telling you during our teleconversation today ,When I was in the hospital I had to discuss with my wife about this God sent good news and she was so happy and said that she is happy that she will soon get her cure since money is needed to fligh her abroad for special treatment.

While I was talking with her she told me that it will not be wise for you to come in person to the bank as the bank may ask you questions that you may not be able to answer at that point in time when I will not have access to be directing you and that may bring problem for us. I thought about it and agreed with her even though I did note agreed to that with you initially.

So in that case I will advice that you write to the bank and tell them that you can not be able to come down to Togo in person at the moment because of the fact that at this moment it will be very deficult to make it there since you dont have your traveling documents ready and also couple with some family matters.

Tell them you will want to use the of the NWABUEZE AND CHAMBERS. the reason why I said that you should use the NWABUEZE AND CHAMBERS is that the owner of that chambers was one time the procure general of this country. He commands alot of respect here. He is the kind of person that will work into the bank and even the bank manager will come down and shake him with two hands.

So you should tell the bank that you want the NWABUEZE AND CHAMBERS to represent you in our cliam. There is no harm in choosing the lawyer but the only thing is that they will be asking you for charges of which I do not know how much it may cost though it will definitely be cheaper than when you come in person here couple with the traveling fare and the risk involved.

While discussing with my mind wife, I want to know if you can have an idea how much to get good house around where you are leaving and how much it can cost me to buy one. I want to live close to you so that you will help me in getting to known our new environment and communiting. I want to get into the house as soon as I come over there. I would not want to stay in a hotel when I will arive there. I do hope to hear from you as soon as you read this mail. I am more than exited here too and I am fast waiting for the conclusion so that I will be able to come over and meet with you face to face.please make sure that you write to the bank recommending the attorney I directed and also you need to write to the attorney too so that he will let you know what to do as soon as possible dont want us to waste any time since you have being approved already.

Please make sure that you give me a call as soon as you read this mail.

God bless you.

Dear Frederick,

Thanks for getting back to me at last I have being so much worried as you have not called me nor even pick up your phone but thank God that you have finally returned back through mail.

I understand the condition you are facing but then you should have told me since so that I too can make a move since it is a matter that concerned both of us.

As a matter fact it is not necessry to contact any third party now since we have come this far beside I would not like anything that will raise eye brow untul when the funds is finally ready to transfer then all the legal back up documents must be ready.

Now I am going to use my wifes jeweris to loan some money so you try on your side too so that both of us will make it up to that amount .please do all you could to come up with atleast half while I do the same here .Idont want any delay I try and call the attorney even for one munite let him know that you have received his communication and you are trying to put up completely the necessary charges as they stated.

please urgetly let me know exactly how much you can can afford so that I know weither not to bother using my wife's jeweries for money .I am waiting by computer. I am restless until this whole thing is over because I dont have any other means to save the life of my wife eccept through the success of this transaction.

Stay blessed
Barr.Koffi.

I found out that I had given Koffi a wrong telephone number, and send him the correct number.

Dear Frederick,

Thanks for your message,I can now understand why no body have being answering my calls.

Please do your best to make sure that you raise half of the charges will do my best to make sure that I make it up but honestly what I can guarantee is only £400.00 which I am sure that it will be ready with me by 8.30 am tomorrow morning here ,I have met with a jewery valuers to value what I have so they have valued it to be 400.00 which coprises of all the whole jeweries that my wife has including my own golden risk watch but I dont mind I shall get more than that as soon as the inheritance is transfered.

Please I will be collecting the money by 8.30 to tomorrow morning so please make sure that you make the remaining available so that the money will be deliver to the attorney on time to enable them embark on this procurement process immediately.

Now you will have to write to the lawyer let him know that some one in the person of Barr.Godson Onyeije will be coming to his office tomorrow by 10.am to deliver on your behalf the sum of £400.00 on your behalf why you will be sending the remaining balance from there through western union as he directed.

The gentleman MR.GODSON ONYEIJE is also a lawyer and my inlaw ,I dont want to involve my self directly if not I would have delivered the money by my self when received from the jewery dealer.

I am very very sure that the 400.00 will be available tomorrow because from all indication it have being confirmed by the buyer,I am lossing a lot because the real value of all the jeweries amounted to £1,225.00 but due to the urgency of this matter I have to sell it at give away price to make sure that I get this inheritance finalise,I have to reach agreement with my wife before doing that so she supproted me since she knew the reason.

Please always keep intouch.
God bless you
Barr.Koffi.

I tell Koffi that I will send the money.

Let me know when you have sent the money to the attorney tomorrow morning because I will wait for your confirmation before asking my inlaw GODSON ONYEIJE to proceed with 400.00 on your behalf.

Please keep always intouch even if you can not call or received calls ,it is necessary that we keep intouch always.
