Mr. Macer Gifford"<[email protected]
Summary:
He uses the concept of.....he knows of a client or a bank depositor that has passed away and wants you to stand as the next of kin and become a "beneficiary". He will say he will arrange for all the documents to be presented to the courts and will eventually ask you to pay some made up fee......court costs, UK taxes or clearance fees. Of course he'll want you to send via WU or Moneygram. He will have a flurry of people call you (all cooincidentally with distinctive African accents) to impersonate various government, bank officials or Investors. These Investors will offer to send you the funds you need to pay the fees. IMPORTANT INFO.............He will ask you if you have a Home Equity or Personal Line of Credit ACCOUNT. He will eventually try to gain access to the account info and then act as the account holder and DRAW from your line of credit.
