It includes links to information on a real persons death, this is common for NOK scams, it adds legitimacy to their claims, so the scammer believes.

To find some hits on this one I did a search on this line "to a "dead customer" Mr. John Paul Getty" Click here In a day or so you can search on his email address as well :wink:

If this money reaches 5 years, it will automatically move to the Bank Vault {Central Bank of United Kingdom} as "UNCLAIMED FUND". All I need from you now is to present you to the Bank Management as the next of kin to the dead man and have the Bank pay you (Beneficiary) this money as your late Uncle's money which he left in our bank since you are a foreigner like him. Please if you are interested, kindly get back to me as quickly as possible to enable me make all the necessary arrangement towards how to present you to the bank as "truly next of kin" to the late man. It does not matter if you are from America or not. After the claim of this money by you through our assistance, you will take 40% of the total Sum and 5% to cover any cost of expenses which both will incur in this transaction and keep the rest 55% for me in the account I will forward to you later after the deal is done or i will come to your place for sharing etc.

The need to move out this money arose when the Prime Minister Gordon Brown said that some of the money held in dormant accounts would be used to fund youth and community projects for your confirmation. Below is the website where you will find it.
