Beware This Scammer

Who Came Through AR.

Most of us who see this sort of thing regularly will not fall for this, but those not so internet savvy might be tempted to contact this person. I'm making this post public for those who haven't seen this. 

scammer

I did respond after checking out the IP and email address (in the Czech Republic) just to see what kind of message I would get back which is below. My answer was that he would have to find someone esle to scam.

 

Thanks for your swift response to the short notification I sent you.

   What I was saying related to your surname was that I had a very good client in my Bank in London; where I work and we have been looking for his or her relatives for a long time he passed away in 2007  and since then  I have been looking for someone who has the same surname, with him, so when I came across your surname I decided to ask.All I want to let you know is that he was a very good man and he was a good customer of our Bank Barclay's Bank. My aim is that I want both of us that is you and I to be able to work out some things that has been disturbing me about Mr. Camron Pappas . All I need is your full support, trust and, understanding,  co-operation, on this.

   You just need to believe me, and en devour to comprehend this situation.

   Mr. Camron Pappas, was an international business man and had an account with us which might be confiscated by the British Government within a given period, because he is late and non of his family members have shown up for the claims of this funds for a few years now.My plan with you is having the same surname with him it will be easy to make claim this money in our Bank as his next of Kin, as the Group chief executive Barclay's plc, all will be smooth because I will be the one to sign all documents and I also have all documents for back up.  when the money is  been transferred then we can do the sharing 50 / 50 percent.

 I know this sounds ridiculous but this is real and I have proofs if you demand.If you follow all my instructions and the Bank Instructions this is going to be successful for both of us.

The money in the account is only Two million, One hundred thousand united states dollars. There is no risk in this transaction as it is 100% legit because like I told you, you have the same surname with Mr Camron Pappas, and also we are doing this in the right way inheritance is been done in Great Britain England. 

  I am the one who will sign the final release documents as the (Group chief executive, Barclay's plc), for the money to be release after all process from the Foreign Payment Department of the Bank in charge of processing inheritance matters, I am the commander here anything they get from you they will always bring to my office for advice and I will give them orders. I planned this very well, I have been in the inheritance matter for long as the Co-chief executive it is my position to work with the staffs here to make inheritance matter go well and not stressful for who is claiming. This money we can use for our mutual benefit,at least some times we run in to financial debt and problems. All I need is your full co-operation trust and understanding in this to make it a; success for both of us. I am the (Group chief executive, Barclay's plc)you can as well check me out on Google for trust and confidence .

  For some years, I have been looking for who has the same surname, to do this deal with, you having this name is the most important thing for this. I will always be here to guide you. If you have any question at all always ask me for advice. I will like to know more about you.Once I hear from you positively,I will scan and email to you a proof of the deposit slip at my disposal ,so that you will have a glaring view of this plight at hand.

    Have a nice day.

I suppose scammers keep sending these types of scams because they get a few unfortunate souls that do respond to and get fooled by these guys. It's sad. Thanks for the warning!

I know that most of us are aware of these scams, but as Nicole Doty - Gilbert Real Estate Expert says, some do get fooled. Okay, Endre Barath, Jr. maybe next time :)

I haven't seen this particular one, but plenty of others. They all sound kind of the same don't they? sometimes I'll string them along just to see how ridiculous it can get.

I received one of his messages yesterday Nick and of course did not respond and reported it.  But it is so upsetting to get these and know that this kind of thing can get thru whatever firewall AR has put up.

Nick T Pappas ... have received something similar in the past.  My first tip that something isn't legit is found in the spelling.  So many typos and incorrect spellings means spam!  Hard to believe that people fall for these things ...
