Has someone offered you a huge sum of money or a valuable consignment? It's a 419 or advance fee fraud - find out how they work, and what to do to be safe.

I recently received an email about a deceased Family member I didn't know about who left me inheritance. His lawyer Maiga Soyata ([email protected]) contacted me with regards to this. I was rather weary when this lawyer had a sense of urgency and confidentiality - I was then put through to the Bank ([email protected]) whom unaware of a possible fraud I gave contact details, a copy of my ID Document as well as banking information. I was asked to pay a banking fee but I denied and I was told that the Lawyer paid on my behalf. I was told that the money was ready but i had to contact a Mr. Kelvin Omar ([email protected]) who ran an Off shore payment center if I wanted to claim the inheritance. I have not contacted Mr. Omar as i feel this is a scam. Could anybody offer me assistance as my family want me to contact this person to pay off my student loans as I cannot afford my studies - Is this a scam??

Welcome to Scamwarners TyDolf,
This is a scam, the lawyer is a fake,the bank is a fake and everything they told you is a lie to try and steal your money.
[email protected] is a free email service that a legitimate bank would never use. The best thing to do now is to stop all communication with these criminals.

It is ALWAYS a scam

Dear Ty,
I have been waiting for your message regarding my letter to you. It's
a deal that will change our lives for good. The funds has been in the
bank for the past 9 years and the bank has been waiting for the
rightful heir to show up but i knew that my deceased client was an
orphan without relative so, i waited because i knew that the bank will
get back to me as the personal lawyer to the deceased.
The bank sent me a letter pleading to me that i should help and
provide the rightful next of kin.
That was the reason why i have contacted you to present you as the
next of kin to my deceased client. You have the same names which made
the transaction a successful one.
Get back to me for more detail.
Sincerely,
Maiga

Dear Ms. Godson

The other person is the ID document of my mother.

As with regards about the transfer fee, that can be deducted from the estate when its paid out. I have read countless online articles about scams who request a transfer fee first and then take off. I will not pay a transfer fee from my own pocket to protect myself. I hope you understand my predicament being from a bank dealing with scams on a daily basis.

Regards

We contacted your local lawyer this morning regarding the fee and he came and made the payment on your behalf. Yes, there're scams but it dosen't stop bank's operations because reality remain real while scam is scam. We have contacted our central bank for foreign exchange allocation on your favour and we are waiting for their instruction to enable us proceed further.
We shall get back to you shortly
