"Kenneth" has also been known to bring in a character named "Rev Dr Rally Edward". Also fake.
This scammer is likely from Kenya, usually sending from an IP Address: 77.220.7.222. However, other IP addresses could be expected if he changes to a cafe' using a satellite connection.
Mr. Barry White and Kenneth Clergy (and "The Bank" and "Rev Dr. Edward") are all the same person. This e-mail is a type a recovery-scam, used to go after victims that might have finally had enough of an earlier attempt. Notice how he keeps the details very vague?
This scammer has sent hundreds of these letters out as Barry White:
^^Incidentally, try doing a Google search for "Barry Oil Company PLC" and you'll quickly discover that it simply does not exist.
"Kenneth" will then likely reply with something very similar to this:
