It’s been a while since I post an entry on scam awareness. Basically, what I’m trying to do is to highlight some of the popular scam which is going on. It’s sad but even with the on-going education of scam awareness, people still fall for it. Hopefully my little contribution here will tip the scale a bit.
I received this email recently. To save some space, I’m attaching the whole email at the comment section.
Generally, The person’s name is Larry and he is a director of a bank in Ghana. One of his client apparently died leaving $4.5 million with no heir to claim them.
Now, he’s asking whether I can present as the next kin to collect the money. If I agree I will be awarded with 30% of the wholel amount. That’s very gracious don’t you think?
/end email
Why it is confirmed a scam? (Please refer to the email in the comment section)
- There’s no explanation as to where he got my email. Even so, if you are about to do an illegal transaction involving millions of dollars, will you believe a complete stranger?
- There is one flaw. The client was said to die on the 21st of April 2001. That’s 7 years difference.
- The usage of a yahoo email is very suspicious looking.
- I’ve received about 2 or 3 emails very similar to this. A clear sign
How it scams?
It starts very convincingly that you bear no risk at all. But in time, I can guarantee you that the scammer will start asking you to deposit some money with the reason that his account is being monitored.
The amount may not be that much. Maybe a few hundred dollars. And you will be tempted since comparing that amount to the millions you will be receiving, that is nothing.
The scammer will then ask for more money to be used for other administration fee. This time it will be in thousands of dollars. He will even guarantee you your money back anytime you want.
Of course your money is already lost.
- I wonder -
Have you ever received emails alike?
Disclaimer – I am not by any chance associating Ghana with scam. It just so happen that the email I received stated the name.

Dear Friend,
I wish this my proposal will not come to you as a surprise I am Mr Abel Peters,a Regional Director of ICB Bank Accra Ghana. (Economic community of West African Bank) with regional Office here in Accra Ghana. We had a foreign client,who used to work with Shell International Republic of Ghana,he deposited a huge amount of $4.5m(Four million five hundred thousand United States Dollars),with our Bank.
Eventually this client, died on the 21st of April 2001,our client, his wife and their children were involved in a car accident along Kara-Sokode expressway while arriving from a Holiday to Accra Ghana.
A situation I have monitored closely with my position in the Bank. Now, having monitored this deposit and managed it over the years before his death, and hence nobody has showed up as the next of kin for the past three years plus, I have removed the file to my private vault.
I seek your consent to present as the next of kin to the deceased, so that the proceeds of this account can be paid to you. I now solicit for your assistance to present you as the next of kin as every other arrangement has being concluded by me and I am only waiting for a foreigner to enable me move the fund to his designated foreign bank account in his country.
This does not have any risk attached to it as all the internal documentations will be handled by me. I therefore request you to confirm your interest by a return message and I will furnish you with details but do not forget to keep top secret. you will be entitled to 30% of the total sum as gratification, while 5% will be set aside to take care of expenses that may arise during the time of transfer and also telephone/fax bills, and 65% will be for me and my partner.
I look forward to hearing from you immediately you receive this message. and reply me on this my private email larrypeters1930@yahoo.com
Best Regards,
Mr Larry Abel Peters

- Hello Dear, Pardon me for not having the pleasure of knowing your mindset before making you this offer and it is utterly confidential and genuine by virtue of its nature. I write to solicit your assistance in a funds transfer deal involving US$ 4.500, 000M.This fund has been stashed out of the excess profit made last year by my branch office. I have already submitted an approved end of the year report for the year 2007 to my head office here in Accra-Ghana and they will never know of this excess. I have since then, placed this amount on a Non-Investment Account without a beneficiary. Upon your response, I will configure your name on our database as holder of the Non-Investment Account. I will then guide you on how to apply to my head office for the Account closure/ bank-to-bank remittance of the funds to your designated bank account. If you concur with this proposal, I will give you further details on this proposal and I intend for you to retain 30% of the funds for your efforts while 70% shall be for me. Thank you for your understanding. Best Regards, Mr. William Attah,
Rolandi – Thanks for sharing
On the 1st of February 2010, I received an email from a “Barrister Bill Lenford” from Togo. I was told that he was the private attorney of a Mr D.Kramer. Mr Kramer was a major contractor for Shell Petrolium and also owned some businesses in Togo. Mr Kramer died in a car accident along with his wife and their only daughter on the Kara-sokode expressway on the 21st of October 2006,which just happens to be my birthday. All lost their lives. Mr Lenford had been searching for relatives for 4 years, unsuccessfully. Even searched through South Africa’s embassy. Mr Lenford asked for my permission to be named the next of kin,since I had the same surname as his deceased client and the bank gave him 21 working days to produce one,after which the money would be declared unservicable and would be taken by the board of directors because there is a lot of corruption in that country and then it would be history. I was assured that the whole process would be legal and that I would receive documentation that would protect me from any breach of the law. I was told I would inherit US$20,500,000.00. Mr Lenford even said “God bless you” to me over the phone.I almost fell for this story. Thank goodness I did some searching and came accross this site!
Lisinda – Thank you for sharing Lisinda. That’s the thing about scam. They will go all out to convince you that this is for real. Even I personally will not lend my closest friend a few thousand dollars, how can a complete stranger be willing to part with millions.
Hopefully your story here will be read by others who is approached the same way
O.K. Does this look familiar then?!
However,I am delighted to inform you that this transaction finally came through with the assistance of Dr. Kumar Pavej who came to my aid at the most crucial time.Although a lot of money was spent for the completion of this transaction but success was finally acheived
Presently,I am into a project and investment,so I’m leaving for Paraguay and due to my programme schedule I may not be back until JULY, 2010 because I will be travelling from Paraguay to England.
First and foremost,I want to thank the Lord for keeping to His promise that those who put their trust in Him will never be ashamed.He is truly the Prayer-answering God.
Secondly,I want to seize this medium to appreciate all your contributions and the time spent in the course of this transaction.Thank you very much and may the good Lord bless you in Jesus name.
In the light of this,arrangement has been made with my Rev. Father to send a total sum of US$1,800,000.00 to you as a part of your share of my appreciation for all you have contributed in the past to this transaction. Kindly accept this with good mind.
Contact Rev. Father Cyril Martin on his E-mail rev_cyrilmartin@hotmail.fr

Dear Friend Aiman.
Greetings and please pardon me for not knowing your mindset before contacting you and it is very confidential and please kindly call me on +228 98605445 after reading this message. I am Mr.Mc William,The branch manager International Bank Of Africa,Kara Branch,Lome-Republic of Togo.
We had a foreign client; Mrs. Stella Aiman, a national of your country,and a member of your family since she bears the same family name with you. On the 25TH FEB 2003, my client and her only son were involved in a car accident along Kaneshi express Road here in Republic of Togo.
Unfortunately they lost their lives in the car crash. Since then the Bank had made several enquiries to your embassy here to locate any of our clients extended relatives,this has also proved unsuccessful.
This our client, has an account with this Branch of our Bank, totalling US$6.5million, which she inherited from her late husband who was an industrialist before he died.And, since that year after her death, the bank has not had anyone that Comes for the claim of this fund as either her relation or as a friend.A situation I have monitored closely with my position here as the Manager of this branch of our Bank and l have finally removed her file to my private vault.
Now this is what l actually want you to do,Since you bear the same family name with her and of the same nationality,l have reasoned very professionally and l feel it will be legally proper to present you as her next of kin so as to claim out this fund,before it is transferred to the Bank’s treasury at the end of this financial year where other people may as well claim it directly without going to this length.
I am quite aware of the procedures this will take and I will advice you appropriately on the way forward and guide you on how to apply to our Bank to make the claim for the fund and its bank-to-bank transfer to your designated bank account,where you consider safe for it. Thank you in anticipation of your urgent response and I will furnish you with the full details and please also include your direct phone numbers.
l intend to give you 45% while l take 45% and 10% will go for the motherless home, l hope you will be a very honest and reliable person.
Yours Faithfully,Mr.Mc William

Hi ,
I just received something like this in my Facebook inbox. I blocked and report this person but don’t know if it will stop him sending to more people on Facebook.
What looked funny to me was that he said it’s in “my country” where the guy , his wife and only daughter died in car crash and when I Google the road he named I found this site so I knew this is a scam even with his email address Blablabla@gmail.com there is no way this could be someone at a attorneys office.
Thanks for this webpage.
All – Thank you all for sharing. As you can see,, your contribution had helped a lot of people from falling into the scam. We may not be able to help everyone, but at least we can help those who actually did some research with google

Now this is what l actually want you to do; Since you bear the same family name with her and of the same nationality,l have reasoned very professionally and l feel it will be legally proper to present you as her next of kin so as to claim out this fund,before it is transferred to the Bank’s treasury at the end of this financial year where other people may as well claim it directly without going to this length.
I am quite aware of the procedures this will take and I will advice you appropriately on the way forward and guide you on how to apply to our Bank to make the claim for the fund and its bank-to-bank transfer to your designated bank account,where you consider safe for it.Thank you in anticipation of your urgent response and I will furnish you with the full details and please also include your direct phone numbers.
l intend to give you 45% while l take 45% and 10% will go for the motherless home, l hope you will be a very honest and reliable person. Do contact me to my private email address mr.mpaul1951@gmail.com
Yours Faithfully.

Dear Priscar Kim Khoza,
I herewith in receipt of your response and as you rightly know that I
contacted you in this matter based on the fact that you bear the same surname with my late client and of the same nationality since I had
sought for the relatives without success and instead of this fund
being confiscated by the bank,I therefore seek your consent to present
you to the bank here as the legal next of kin to my decease client
with all documents of prove so that the amount valued at $9.5M (Nine
Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) left behind by my
deceased client shall be transferred to you as the next of kin.
ABOUT THE DECEASE; I want you to understand that you might not be
related or even know Mr.Michael Brian Khoza,but understand that I
really made a thorough inquiry and was convinced that he had no known
living relatives as he migrated from your country to Togo some time in
1978 as an orphan,so I want you to understand that there is no atom of
risk involved in this transaction because I has been mandated to
provide his next of kin (relation),therefore whosoever I presented to
the bank with all document of prove will be accepted by the bank and
will be approved as his legitimate next of kin.
I have search long for his relatives, hence he didn’t include
anybody, as his next of kin to his estates both in the bank and other
places. The management had planned to invoke their abandoned property decree of 1996 to confiscate the funds after the expiration of the period given to me, you can imagine that. I was my late client’s
personal attorney and I was privileged to his transaction with the
bank. I will establish you with my veto power as the supposed next of
kin since this have to be certify by my office.
BANKING INDUSTRY: You must understand that in the banking industry
chances or opportunities like this are common but not heard. People
put their monies in banks and some of these accounts are either coded
or confidentially operated. 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 monies are made
within and amongst the bankers.
My late client operated an account with one of the famous Bank here
in Lome-Togo before his untimely death. It was until his bank invited
me to their office and mandated me as his attorney here in Togo to
locate and present to them his next of kin so that they will release
his outstanding fund with them, hence I decided to search for a
trustworthy person who will assist me in putting claims to these funds
so that the bank will release and transfer the fund to him/her hence I
found you.I do not know you in person but I feel that you will be
human enough to be honest to me at least for bringing you into a deal
capable of fetching us both something tangible.
INHERITANCE VIEW: Note that the next of kinship is not limited to
relations of the deceased nor is it confided to the circuit of
parental or maternal relationship, rather is by choice of the
benefactor as regards to whom he/she wish to Will it to (beneficiary)
either formally by writing or informally by secret information
disclosure to the assume beneficiary, being a business partner,
relation, kinsmen, friends or well wishers, therefore by the virtue of
the above statement,I seek your consent to present you as the next of
kin to my late client so that the fund will be transferred to you.
BENEFITS: Towards this end, I have resolved that we donate 10% of the
total sum to the less-privilege while the remaining shall be shared
50/50 hence we both shall join hands together towards the successful
closure of this inheritance claim with the bank.
NOTE: Upon conclusion of this transaction,I intend to travel alongside
with my wife to meet with you in your country for disbursement and
investing my own share of the money in your country with your help as
well.
FURTHERMORE: If you are interested and to enable us proceed with this
transaction, you are required to send the below information’s to
enable me procure and send to the bank a letter of probation from our
ministry of Justice and to establish your name with the bank as the
legitimate next of kin to my late client. I want you to understand
that this transaction will cost money prior to its finalization.
