Charity -> lawyer -> bank -> money for documents

Hi, I'm posing this for the first time.

I've got suspicious emails from two people so far. One has gone, and the other is the one I am going to introduce.

First, I didn't get my email header, please help me to get it. My email account homepage is http://www.naver.com / I already sent an email to a service man; but I think you can help me faster.

Anyway, I will just introduce the e-mail I got briefly before the header is valified.


I got a charity e-mail.
I correspond with them several times before knowing this helpful site. I've found the pattern and the type they used is quite similar to many of scammers' strategy posted here.

I will copy the first e-mail and paste it here.

Dear XXX(my name is shown)

How are you?I am sure that you will be surprise to receive my email since I have not met you for the first time. I wanted to do something that I know will be good to God and Humanity.Though there are lots of scams going on the net but I still feel comfortable writing to you.What I am going to let you know now may sound very unbelievable, but I dont care how it sound but that is what I intend doing and I will want to do it through you. Well, My name is Mrs. Mary Pitt. I now live In Cambridgeshire. Let me Take you down to a little about my history. I am a self-employed consultant and a board member of the Nene Housing.I am a dying woman who had decided to donatewhat I have to poor and for the purpose of Charity through you.You may be wondering why I chose you, I entered into Internet searching for a reliable profile that sooth my heart and my Mind tells me you are the right person for what I want to do. And I am doing this on trust because I know I may live or I may not, but I have to leave a legacy behind.I am 59 years old now and was diagnosed for cancer about 2 years ago,briefly after the death of my husband Mr. Alex Pitt, who had left me everything he worked for. I have been touched by God to donate from what I have inherited from my late husband to you, for the good work of God, rather Than allow my Relatives to use my husband's hard earned funds ungodly.I have asked God to forgive me of all my sins and I believe he has,because He is a merciful God. I will be going in for a radioactive Surgery in a week time, and I pray that I survive the operation. I have decided to will/donate the sum of US$3,500,000(Three Million FiveHundred Thousand Dollars) to you for the good work of God,and to help the motherless, less privileged and also for the assistance of the widows in Your area, and organization. At the moment I cannot take any telephone calls, or reply emails due to the fact that my relatives are around me and I have been restricted by my doctor from taking telephone calls because I deserve all the rest I Can get before the surgery.So please dont worry about calling me because incase I lost my life, I have informed my lawyer Barrister Mark Edeh, Working with Majestic Chambers in London about my decision in willing this fund to you. I wish you all the best and may the good God bless you abundantly, and please use the funds well and always extend the good work to others.Kindly contact my lawyer through this email address:[email protected], Tel. +447035972367. He will tell you the necessary arrangements on how to release this money to you with ease.

Mrs Mary Pitt

After this there has been several e-mails exchanged.
and GOLDFINGER TRUST BANK asked me two documents : (1)Anti-Money Laundering (2)Anti Terrorist certificate; they said this cost me 1,400 pounds.

Hi bini1234 !
I'm sure glad that you found your way here to Scamwarners, as you are definitely dealing with a scammer. The language and content of the email that you received leave no doubt.
I googled Mrs. Mary Pitt + Cambridge and found a very similar message on this scam site: http://www.spaminform.com/spam-report/r ... 14115.html

The "Lawyer Barrister" that you are supposed to contact, [email protected], is listed as a scam at Crooks of the Net (http://www.escrocs.net/2009-04-14-liste ... ternet.htm)

Sorry, I just spent a good half hour trying to find instructions on getting headers from Naver.com with no luck. Perhaps someone else will come along who knows how to do that.
The important thing for you to know is that this is a scammer. They are never going to give you any money but will try to steal yours. Please stop all contact with this scammer.

Oh, thank you very much. You've found the exactly same e-mail that was sent to another person.

I almost decided to send a small amount(300 pounds. ) But I'll never send them kk thank you a lot.

They first asked me 1,400 pounds..
I don't know how much they usually ask.

They've spend quite a lot of time to convince me.

Anyway thank you so much to get me out of this scammers.



One good point I've found is that Ms.Mary who said to be in a coma after her surgery checked my e-mail kkk my e-mail provider provides e-mail checking program, so she got caught by it kkk scammers!

The telephone number that the scammer is using

Tel. +447035972367

appears to be located in the UK, but any number in the form 4470 or 44(0)70 is actually a number that redirects to a number abroad, usually in West Africa or Nigeria, and this type of scam typically comes from Nigeria.

I'm located in the UK and can confirm that there has never been a case where any beneficiary under a will has had had to pay money for anything to receive the money they are entitled to, certainly not any forms relating to terrorism. The fact is that if you happen to be on an official terrorist list your funds will be blocked, and you can't apply for any document that clears you from being a terrorist. These documents only exist in the minds of scammers.

I've never heard of 'radioactive surgery' and it doesn't happen. A person may have chemotherapy which normally precludes any surgery as it weakens the patient, and performing surgery in a radioactive environment would harm the surgery team. The scammer knows nothing about cancer treatment. He also knows nothing about UK hospitals which have strictly enforced visiting times, usually twice a day for no more than three hours at a time, so she wouldn't be surrounded by relatives all day.

The scammer will ask you to send them money by Western Union and any UK lawyer, barrister or company would have a bank account, but Western Union is how scammers receive cash.

Dying widows who want to give a fortune to someone they've found on the Internet, simply don't exist.

Yes, what you have said is all true.

Numbers of all related people are not available; I tried all the numbers through the SKYPE but they didn't work. That's why I doubted and picked other random numbers in Britain; they all worked well.
They called me instead; interestingly they all have African accent!! all three people!! even the bank operator!!

Goldfinger Trust Bank is another suspicion! they use wrong numbers and their own e-mail: [email protected]

You're right, they asked me to send money by Western Union; the lawyer barrister anthony edward and his email following is need to be careful. [email protected]
"Mark Edeh", a scammer, just now emailed me that "Ms. Mary Pitt Esq"<[email protected]> has passed away!

what a lie!

A very nice fake bank website

It's a complete fake website and Michael will 'munch' it.

On it - Michael

Oh fake site!!

What you mean he will 'munch' the site is he will get rid of it? by accusing it?


I disconnected corresponding with them. But one of the lawyer who had contacted the most asks me I need to reward him cause he has put a lot of efforts with some money to me.
Just ignore it? without provoking him?

I had given the Bank my account number and my address ?.?

Will they use my personal information badly?

Hi bini1234 !
The fake bank site will be shut down.
Please ignore any further emails or phone calls. If you can block their addresses and phone numbers it, will be easier to get them to give up on you.
As far as your personal information, I wouldn't worry about it, other than to stop in at your bank and just alert them to your situation.
Good job spotting this scam and thanks for posting!

Hi bini1234,

In short, we will be gathering evidence that this is a fake bank, create a report and send it to the appropiate people who can take action and take the site offline. I can't really give you a date by when the site will be offline - there are many fake sites waiting for someone to write a report - but I can assure you that it will be taken down
