Frank Garry, Esq.—Mr. Edwin Gabriel made you a beneficiary to his WILL

I've seen a lot of things and I have to say that these scams have been evolving really fast in the last 2 or 3 years. At first, it was just something like my dad died (and you still get those), but this one is much different. This one is about a guy who put my name in his will. Imagine that. He dies, I get some money. Cool. US $1 million. And no phone call, no letter, no angry siblings, just an email. Hmmm... Is that a scam?!

I got this today, it came via Jason Bourne and I thought he was wanted by the US government!

Re: Frank Garry, Esq.—Mr. Edwin Gabriel made you a ...

Well... Jason is being sought, but he's still just a fictional character invented around 1980. That being said, these scams are not fiction. If the scammer can get a hold of your money, they won't hesitate!

Re: Frank Garry, Esq.—Mr. Edwin Gabriel made you a ...

I also received notification and supposedly I'm to receive $10,000,000 on Wednesday.  If they try to get money from my account they are in for a rude awakening.  It won't pay much.  I alerted my banks Relationship officer. She is watching!  Bummer I could really put the money to good use.  Oh well, I've never gotten something for nothing.  Glad I didn't get too excited!

 

My Barrister is Greg Wilford Esq,

I was directed to contact Vuso Voyi, Regional Manager First National Bank, So. Africa

Re: Frank Garry, Esq.—Mr. Edwin Gabriel made you a ...

Yeah, you should never give them information about your bank account even if it would still be difficult for them to retrieve the money, that's quite a risk. Of course, sending a check to anyone includes pretty much all your banking information (name, address, all the numbers, and even your signature!)

Re: Frank Garry, Esq.—Mr. Edwin Gabriel made you a ...

WOW!! I'm getting 10 million dollars!!! Send over the cocaine and hookers!!
