Dear XXX,

I don't have any idea what you are talking about. We are a reputable company based in London and Philadelphia, USA without any affiliation with any other country. It is a shame that you contacted this company for the release of inheritance funds only for you to cook up false allegations without proper investigation. This is unacceptable.

Now this is where it gets really interesting:

Attn: XXX

This is to acknowledge the receipt of your email message with its contents well understood and comprehended. It is indeed true that UDDS, Ltd, received a communique to facilitate the payment of inheritance funds in the exact value of Five Million Six Hundred Thousand British Pounds.

There is need for a formal application to be made on your behalf by our legal team to the Probate Registry and a Court of Law. A letter of Administration and Sworn Affidavit as beneficiary of the inheritance fund must also be prepared in your name. This will be supported by very important legal documents that will ensure the successful release of the inheritance funds you. These documents will be processed by our legal team and they must be paid for by the beneficiary of the funds. The funds will not be approved for transfer by the authorities without all the legal documents to back up the Change of Ownership. You will find below a list of the needed legal documents.

Detailed description of legal documents:

1. Legalization of Application process with UDDS legal Co. to the Court to authorize bank to release the inheritance funds (10 pages).

2. Legal representation and administrative cost for applying and requesting payment of inheritance fund.

3. Stamp Duty and Notarization of all copies of documents relayed by you.

The above listed legal clearance and documents will cost 0.05% of the total inheritance sum. This means you will be required to pay for legal paper works. The package will be shipped out as soon as the legal papers are ready. It is very important you make arrangement to pay the 0.05% which is GBP 2,800 for the legalization of late Robert Taylor's estate. I can call you with my London number if you give me a telephone number to reach you.

Thank you.

So what they are asking for me to pay GBP 2800 which is equivalent to $6888 :00 NZD
which I have to fork out of my own pocket "with me being a low income earner" or in other words a beneficiary"

Then silly me gives Mr Alford Forney (Scam Artist) my home phone, so when he does ring me "Well Surprise Surprise :His accent is not English,it's Nigerian"...
Well Mr Scam Artist asks me on the phone about this so called Inheritance Money " Yeah Right".where I have to come up with the cash GBP 2800 :00, and I said where am I going to get that from ???,he said before I get any of the Big payout from the My so called dead relative .remember I'm supposed to get over GBP 11,000.000 ,he insisted that that I have to pay all the legal fees,stamp duties.etc "now this is where I start to get really suspicious again ",where he says do you have any other relative that can come up with the money "HMMMM",,I said where am I going to get that kind of money from,to get back off you guy's,so Mr Alford Forney (Scam Artist) says to me I'm sure you can come up with even 20 /25 per cent of the money .so I said I'm not able to,so another suspicious thing he said to me was"Don't tell anyone that he had called about this Inheritance Money !!!!.

So people please don not allow this to happened to vulnerable people like me, who almost just about got taken in with this.

Warning: new scam on the Internet under the guise of an inheritance To convince victims who may benefit from a distant heritage, is the new type of scam that specialized agents of the National Police have been detected on the Internet. Fraudsters exploit the news of an accident where there have been several deaths and sent a large number of emails to Internet addresses that have achieved by any of the various procedures. AND No such email they believe the recipient that the deceased has left no will and that the inheritance is not lost or go to the State Treasury where he lived, we provide a range of addresses and contacts that can lead they manifesting heir of the deceased, as indicated from the Provincial Police in a statement. the scam consists of several phases .In the first, and the victim does not request any money, many people agree to participate in the alleged heritage and the addresses provided send personal information, data, identity and address, among others, as a possible heir to the fortune left by the deceased . contact the victim in this way, scammers establish contact with the victim and using the data itself provided, we refer documentation between make you believe that you will receive the heiress amount to the current account you have indicated. Then they contact again with the victim and report that it is necessary to send a small sum of money for the payment of duties and taxes, among other aspects, to which access in order to receive the "inherited" amount, amount that never comes . This new type of scam is being used both through the network as mass mailing of cards whose postal addresses achieved by various procedures, accompanying brochures and simulating banking law firms, managers or notaries.
