Roberts "Scammer" Barton, Esq. had a "client" who "successfully executed a contract with the Spanish government" sometime ago, but was "paid only half" of what was "owed" to him shortly before he "died." He was not married, had no children, and so has no next-of-kin, of course. Scammer Barton backs this up with a true BBC story, and says he needs a "next-of-kin" to "claim the funds that are still owed." This one mentions that the "client" died in Thailand in the 2004 tsunami, so it's been going around for quite awhile.

"Robert Menili" is "searching" for someone with the "same last name" as his "late client." The scammers are finally realizing that we understand that they shoot out bulk BCC spam-mails, and not many are going to have the same last name. But he still wants you to stand in as "next-of-kin" to his "rich, late client's fortune," a client who has no heirs, of course. They either "never had children," or else "all other family members have passed away." Well, in any event, the money doesn't exist; it never does. For more next-of-kin scam samples, Click Here.
Here we go with the Japanese earthquake and tsunami scams. It hasn't even been three weeks yet. Pathetic. Unfortunately these scams are very popular and pervasive. "Bruno Gamba," a "managing director" of some Asian bank "discovered" $12.7 million in an "account" that "belonged" to a "deceased client" who "perished" in the quake, along with "his entire family," of course. "Bruno" would like you to stand in as "next-of-kin" to claim nonexistent cash, and "split it" with him. For more samples of these scams, Click Here.

From: "Lee Shing" <[email protected]> To: undisclosed-recipients Greetings, I am Mr. Lee Shing, Principal Assurance manager for the Nanyang Commercial Bank of China. An investment was placed under my management eight years ago by a customer who is now deceased. I need your assistance in investing these funds. If you're interested contact me via my private email. If you're not interested in my offer do not respond to this email. Awaiting your urgent reply. Thanks and my regards. A scammer assumes the identity of "David Zhou," a "Chinese bank manager." Maybe David's real and maybe he isn't. The scammer isn't him, and if he has two nickels to rub together, they were both stolen LOL.
The "next-of-kin" scam never changes. Someone rich died, left no heirs and no will, and now they need "help" getting the money. In this variety, a "Wo Welhan" was apparently arrested and executed by the Chinese government, and there's a Wikipedia article to back it up. The scammers usually use something more credible such as the BBC. Don't be fooled, though, there's never any money. More next-of-kin scam samples are Here. Another "next-of-kin." These are made up in a different variety of ways. Someone takes advantage of a true news story in the media where someone died, and supposedly left no heirs. If they can't find such a person, they can make something up out of the blue. The storyline is pretty much the same though. Someone rich died, left no heirs, they want you to stand in to collect the fortune, and they'll split it with you. It's a scam, of course. No matter what it is, no matter what they tell you, there's never any money, ever. Always remember that. More Next-of-Kin samples, Click Here. Some of them are "Dying" scams, too.
Yet another "next-of-kin" scam comes from a "Chang Kee." I guess "Lee" in China is something like "Smith" in America LOL. Anyway, Chang has spammed an undisclosed recipient list, and claims that his "deceased client" has the same last name as all of us. Most people do not notice this because we cannot see the list that Chang spammed. In Yahoo Mail, the message will say "undisclosed recipient list" in the header, but Google Mail doesn't say anything. The scam itself, of course, works just like all the others. Stand in for my dead buddy, and you can get $XX million. No, you can't. The money never existed.

Let's put in a few more !'s to see if it make it any more "important." !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hmm. Nope. LOL. "Li Chen" is a "Chinese bank account manager" who had a "rich, late client" without any next-of-kin, as always, and now he wants us to step in and "claim the money," which doesn't exist, of course. For more "next-of-kin" scam samples, Click Here. I've got zillions. Man, it's "next-of-kin" scam day for some reason. Must be a Nigerian holiday or something. Oh, and of course, I never heard from "Bill Montague" the first time LOL. Here's some nice banking scams for a change :o)
This is a longer "next-of-kin" scam version that says the same thing as below. Either someone died who had no children, or else someone and their whole family died, and left no heirs. Sometimes they say "it's a secret, so don't betray us" LOL. In an interesting twist, this one uses "ЎМ" as a British Pound Sterling symbol, even though they're supposed to be located in London.
