Todd Graham - Lloyds Bank

 

Fraud.

One out of five!

I am Mr. Todd Graham, an Accountant with Lloyds Trust Bank Plc, I am the personal Account Manager to Mr. anderson.

On the 21st of April 2004, Anderson Cook (Herein after shall be referred to as my client), his wife and their three children were involved in a car accident in London. Unfortunately they all lost their lives in the event of the accident, since then I have made several enquiries to locate any of my client's extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful. After these several Unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his relatives over the Internet, to locate any member of His family but of no avail, hence I contacted you to stand as his next of kin.

I contacted you to assist in repatriating the money in addition, property left behind by my client before they get Confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where this huge deposits were lodged. Particularly, Lloyds Trust Bank Plc, where the deceased had an account valued at about 10 million Great British Pounds.

Consequently, the bank issued me a notice to provide the Next of Kin or have the account confiscated within the next twenty official working days. Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 2 years now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased based on the fact that you are a foreigner so that the proceeds of this account valued at about 10 million Great British Pounds can be paid to you and then you and I can share the money. 50% to me and 40% to you, while 10% should be for expenses or tax as your government may require.

An attorney will be contracted to help revalidated and notarize all the necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any claim we make. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us sees this deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law,you can reach me on my personal email

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.
