Important Notes :-

1. Whatever you do, do not respond to any e-mail like this. If you have given bank details to any fraudster like this, then inform your bank immediately and also make sure that you close the account.

2. If the e-mail mentions a well known e-mail address such as from gmail.com, live.com, yahoo.com etc., then why not forward the offending e-mail to abuse@gmail.com, abuse@live.com etc. Hopefully, they'll remove the e-mail address, which will stop people being sucked in.

This scam seems to still be going strong. I got it today! The worst part is I have distant relatives in Malaysia, but realised that the family had had contact since the disaster mentioned. These are sent in their thousands its not a personal thing, and it surprisingly easy to get email addresses and names. As long as all that they get all well and good!

I received much the same email just now, except it was related to the Tsunami of 2004. The over the top attempt at good English was obvious to me as a ploy to build confidence.

Shouldn't be getting through the main email providers really.

Hi, I received emails from the person recently aswell. He has asked for bank and passport details, both of which I did not pass over to him because he demanded it. My advice to everyone is if anyone asks for any personal details via email or any other way, please don't fall into the trap because money is involved. This man is a criminal and a fraudster.

Attention: Ed

I am Barr Lim Chong Chuan, a Senior Solicitor and Advocate with Lim Chong Chuan & Associates Sdn Bhd Malaysia and I am seeking for your earnest attention to this interesting proposition/transaction.

It might interest you to know that you are contacted base on the similarity of your last name with my deceased client whom with his partner at vacation timeout met an untimely death as a result of Tsunami Disaster on December 26, 2004.

My late client left a substantial amount of fund (USD$ 3.7m) with his private bank, in which I was notified by the bank that his account has gone into dormancy and will soon be declared unserviceable with possible confiscation by the bank. A lot of business or charity works can be achieved with this fund on my late client’s name instead of leaving it with the bank, so I herein hereafter propose to you to stand in as his next-of-kin on the fact that I (His Attorney) have the right and power to allocate the fund to whoever I present as the next of kin.

All necessary documentation and legal backups will be handled by me as this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that would protect you from any breach of the law. We would share the percentage on a mutually agreed-upon 60% for me and 40% to your kind self.

I await your assertive response as I count on your utmost indulgence towards the actualization of this transaction.

However, Late Mr. David Sinar Aladin has been my client since 25th Sept, 1991 not only is my client, we are just like brothers because I represent him in many areas legal and otherwise.

He stated to me that I should promise him that all he left be will be shared among the needy, base on this statement he Vouches never to allow the bank to confiscate his money. The bank has sent several messages to me asking me to provide his next of kin of my deceased enable him / her claim his money unless they will confiscate his account.

Therefore, we will work together to accomplish my client decision. I have all the necessary documents to effect this transaction. All I need is your utmost sincerity, trust, and cooperation.

The total amount of cash in the bank account of my deceased client is US$ 3.7M ( Three Million Seven Hundred Thousand United States Dollar).

My proposition to you is to seek your consent and to present your kind self as the next-of-kin and beneficiary of my deceased client since you have same last name with him.

We would share the percentage modalities on a mutually agreed-upon 60% to me and 40% to your kind self.

All the legal documents to back up your claim as my client's next-of-kin would be provided by me. The most important thing I need is your honest cooperation in this proposition.This would be done under a legitimate arrangement that would protect you from any breach of the law. Your telephone number is needed for easy communication.
