The intention is that the recipient of this email replies and says that the named person is not their representative. The scammer will then pretend to arrange to have the 'funds' sent correctly to them. There will be some fees to pay. The 'funds' however, do not exist, and the emails are not written by the person who is named as the sender.

This type of scam comes in several variations, from many different email addresses and from many different names; fake lawyers as well as fake bankers, Sometimes they state that the 'representative' has claimed that you have died:

Dear Sir,

It’s very urgent you reply this mail promptly on or before 48hours because we have received an application of claims from one Mr. Sumrall Christopher claiming to be the beneficiary of your inheritance fund (US$6.2) Six Million Two Hundred thousand United States Dollars. He wants us to transfer your inheritance fund into his account in United States.


Mr. Sumrall claimed that, you are involved in an Automobile Fatal Accident and you did not survive the accident dated 1st of August that he is the new beneficiary of the fund . Please, if you are dead or alive I want you to reply back immediately to avoid paying to the wrong account. We have cases of diversion of fund that is why we decided to confirm from you first before transferring the fund into his account.


We decided to accept the application of claim and Affidavit of Oath from Mr. Sumrall Christopher because for over a long period you have not contacted us regarding your inheritance fund BUT we decided to confirm first before transferring your inheritance fund into Mr. Sumrall Account next week.

If you are alive please, reply this mail on or before 48hrs from now so that we can stop the payment of the inheritance fund into Sumrall ‘s Account in Denver, Co USA.


Treat this mail very urgent.

A long complex letter, primarily aimed at someone who has already responded to a scam mail, warning against corresponding with anyone else (this scammer wants your money, and doesn't want any other scammer to receive it), and creating a sense of urgency by stating that, if you don't respond quickly, somebody else is going to claim the money that belongs to you.

It is all, quite frankly, a load of rubbish. There is no money for you. There is no Mrs Joan C. Bailey. This scammer is correct that you should disregard all other scam mails. But you need to disregard this one also.

Agent Joseph Persichini, Jr
Assistant Director in Charge
Federal Bureau of Investigation
J. Edgar Hoover Building
935 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, D.C. 20535-0001, USA

RE: FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION SEEKING TO WIRETAP THE INTERNET

This is an advise from the Federal bureau of investigation (FBI) Washington DC
in partnership with the National White Collar Crime Center (NW3C), and the
Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA). We have been informed through our Global
intelligence monitoring network, that you were having a transaction with the
Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) in regards to the over-due contract payment
which was long endorsed in your favor. It might interest you to know that we
have taken out time in screening through the project as stipulated on our
protocols of operation and have finally confirmed that your contract payment
is 100% genuine and hitch free from all facet and of which you have the lawful
right to lay claim without any further delay.

To this effect, we advise that you go ahead in dealing with the approved
Central Bank office accordingly as we will be monitoring all their services as
well as your correspondence with them at all level. It might also interest you
to know that we recently had a meeting with the NEW Executive Governor of the
Central Bank of Nigeria, in the person of Mr. Sanusi Lamido Aminu Sanusi along
with some of the top CBN officials, regarding your case and they made us to
understand that your payment file have been held in abase all this while
depending on when you personally come for the claim. They further complained
that the only problem they are having right now is that some unscrupulous
element are using this project as an avenue to scam innocent people off their
hard earned money, by impersonating the Executive Governor and the Central
Bank office.

We were also made to understand that a lady with name Mrs. Joan C. Bailey from
OHIO, USA. has already contacted the Central Bank office on your behalf and
also presented to them all the necessary documentations evidencing your claim
purported to have been signed personally by you for the release of your
contract fund valued at about USD$8,000,000.00 (Eight million united states
dollars) to HER. The Central Bank of Nigeria did the wise thing by insisting
on hearing from you personally, as the sole beneficiary before they go ahead
on releasing your fund to the Banking information which was forwarded to them
by the above named Lady. This was the main reason why they contacted us to
assist them in making the necessary investigations to avoid irregularities.

They further advised that we should warn our dear citizens who must have been
informed of this same contract payment, to be very careful so that they don't
fall victim to impersonators. Should in case you are already dealing with
anybody or office that might be posing to be the Central Bank of Nigeria or
any financial institution, we advise that you STOP further contact with them
in your best interest and contact the genuine office of the Central Bank of
Nigeria (CBN,) ONLY with the below information accordingly:

NOTE:
You are to contact the genuine office of the Central Bank of Nigeria ONLY with
the above information and then request that they attend to you payment files
for subsequent release of your contract fund to you. Also be advised that any
message that doesn't come from the above official email address, should be
disregarded for security reasons.

After contacting the Central Bank office with the above information, ensure
you follow their directives as that will further hasten up the whole

ATTN:THE BENEFICIARY,

RE:INHERITANCE FUND TRANSFER NOTIFICATION

We have received an instruction from the presidency, federal ministry of finance and house of senate to effect your long awaited payment with the bank in Federal republic of Nigeria in conjunction with HSBC London.

But to our greatest surprise some few days ago, One Mr. Crowley Duck came to our office and presented a letter of administration, court injunction and order of release that you ordered him to claim your fund on your behalf.In fact,he has taken care of the cost of transfer and paid it waiting for us to effect the transfer to his nominated bank account

We asked him why and he told us that you had a motor accident and could not walk again thereby ordering him to act as the beneficiary to your fund. Due to I can not afford to make any mistake in my job, I ordered him to provide a power of attorney to us from you showing that you truly ordered him to stand and claim the fund on your behalf. Up till today, he failed to show up and this made us to communicate you direct to find out what is the cause of delay as my office was given a shorter time to execute this project and report back to the board of directors that ordered us to act upon this.

We urgently wait for your mail quickly and fast please.

Kindly reply via email address [email protected]
