Business Proposal scam

From: Mr. Akinwumi Godson Fanimokun [generalcontact011 @ yahoo.com]

Subject: very urgent business proposal

Mr. Akinwumi Godson Fanimokun
Group Executive, Technology & Services
First Bank of Nigerian Plc

Dearest,

My name is Mr. Akinwumi Godson Fanimokun,Group Executive, Technology & Services First Bank of Nigerian Plc. based in Nigeria. I am writing in respect of a foreign customer of our Financial Firm with Deposit Code: XXMD-908-14-255-114 whose name is Eng. Ahmed Mohd Elshami, an Egyptian citizen and a Federal Contractor with the Federal Governments of Nigeria and Egypt.

My client lost his life along with his wife, daughter and several others in a tragic air accident in Abuja - Nigeria. Since the death of this customer, I personally have watched with keen interest to see the next of kin but all has proved abortive as no one has come to claim his funds of US$25,500,000.00 (Twenty Five Million, Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars) which has been with our branch for a very long time.

On this note, I decided to seek for whom his name shall be used as the Next of Kin as no one has come up as his next of kin. In view of this I got your contact through a trade journal on my quest for a foreign business partner, who will be presented to the financial firm as the next of kin to the deceased client to enable them release the fund in your favour.

For your assistant I am willing to give you 40% of the total amount, 10% to cover all expenses and 50% for me and my family. Upon the receipt of your response, I will send you by fax the letter of application which you will type sign and send to the First Bank of Nigerian Plc to enable us start the processing of this claim. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this business is problem free process and shall be carried out under legitimate procedure without breaching any of the International Law, in other words, you should not entertain any fear as all modality for the smooth and easy transfer of this fund has been finalized.

Alert from the City of London Police regarding Rugby World Cup scams

Read the full story with links to report any fraudulent activity here: http://www.rugbyworldcup.com/news/89965

Fans warned about Rugby World Cup 2015 scams


The City of London Police and World Rugby are warning fans to be vigilant regarding a growing number of scams in the form of fake lotteries or sweepstakes claiming to be connected with or authorised by Rugby World Cup 2015, Rugby World Cup Limited (RWCL) and/or World Rugby.

Fans are being contacted (mostly via email), in the name of (or using trade marks associated with) RWCL, Rugby World Cup 2015 and/or World Rugby. Some correspondence falsely informs people that they have won a competition through an automated ballot.

Prizes are supposedly being awarded in a range of currencies that include pounds, dollars and rand, and can be claimed via the payment of an administrative fee, or by submitting personal details to an unofficial e-mail address.

Other correspondence tells people that they have won tickets to Rugby World Cup 2015 matches, with ‘winners’ getting the chance to travel to England and Wales to watch the tournament.

A number of reports have now been handed to the City of London Police’s National Fraud Intelligence Bureau (NFIB) to handle. Their team of experts are reviewing the evidence and working to suspend the email addresses being used to circulate the scam.

Detective Chief Inspector Andy Fyfe, from the City of London Police’s NFIB, said: "This appears to be a classic lottery fraud that is using the good name of the Rugby World Cup to try and persuade people they have won a genuine competition.

"It is very important that recipients of these scam emails do not make contact in any way with the sender and instead report to us, via Action Fraud."

World Rugby Chairman Bernard Lapasset added: "World Rugby wishes to assure people that it does not run any form of lottery or sweepstake connected to any of its events or properties, including Rugby World Cup 2015.

"Fan experience is at the heart of what promises to be a very special Rugby World Cup and we urge fans to be vigilant and contact Action Fraud immediately if any fraudulent activity is suspected.

"Once again, we are reminding fans to only buy through official channels available via www.rugbyworldcup.com to avoid being let down."

You will take her in as your God child and bring her up in a good and decent manner with what my late husband left behind.

My name is Simon Murray, legal counsel for the late Mr Alec C, who lived and passed away in the United Kingdom. I was served a notice by the financial institution in relation to his Estate to contact any member of his immediate or extended family.

Hi Simon, Dad is copying pages of the family tree that might be relevant and sending them through tomorrow but in a text today he has noted that his (or mine, I am not sure which) Great Grandfather had a brother Alec. Alec is certainly a family name ­ my grandfather, my father and my son all had/have A in their name.

"Our" C family originated from Kincardine O'Neill which is on Aberdeen/Balmoral Road and they are buried in Coull Kirkyard. That might be enough for you to cross check some facts but I'll send the family tree tomorrow if I get it from Dad.

Regards,

Simon Murray <contact @ murraykellymoore.co.uk>
Hello ,
Sorry for the belated response. I acknowledge receipt of your email dated 26.7.2015 but unfortunately I do not have any genealogy report on A. Report shows he has ties to C settlers in Australasia (New Zealand), since he died intestate his Estate automatically reverts to the government, this is a common law doctrine which transfers the property of a person who dies without heirs to the crown or state. It serves to ensure that property is not left in "limbo" without recognized ownership. I do not want this happening.
Simon.

Hi Simon, as much as you may not desire the assets to revert to the government it appears that it is inevitable. What I have provided is as much family history as we have available. Since you don't have any genealogy to show a direct link, then it seems we are at a dead end.

From: Simon Murray <contact @ murraykellymoore.co.uk>
