This NEVER happens. In fact it is illegal in most countries to give

Thats not the point. Banks DO NOT just give away estate money.

You know how this works in the real world. The bank searches for a
while then they put up an article in several places. Once there are no
claims, they keep the money.

Lets see... You want:

1. Bank info
2. ID
3. A signature

Wow, sounds like identity theift. All banks just ask for a acct.

The two signatures allow you to steal my identity. You can use them to
make fake ids and use any credit cards that I own after you declare
them stolen and send them to a po box.

look, i am suspicious of you because

1. you are using a free email account
2. you say you have obtained my email address through a "buisness
diretory" that I have never been listed in
3. scams like this steal millions of us dollars from people every year
4. you have provided information that is publically obtainable about a
man from germany with an african bank account whose money is being
given to an american. its like getting tech support from a calling
center in indoneisa about a computer made in japan and bought in
america. it just isnt right
5. any person would back off after i have told them to die and go to
hell from the first approach
6. you contacted me through email only. not through mail or phone or
even fax for that matter.
7. you belong to the bank of africa and pointed me to a webpage that i
believe is fake. even if the bank of africa is real and one of my
suspicions is wrong, you could just be saying that you are a banker
8. you are asking to do a bank transfer when you could just use a
check or paypal money transfer
9. listen, you want to know the truth? well here is the truth. my name
is (edit for ID purposes). I'm 13. I don't believe that any bank would give this money
to a 13 year old and in the US I cant recieve this kind of transaction
without gardian approval. also, why would a 13 year old be in a
buisness diectory?!

I think you will ALL get a kick out of this as it's very relevant to this situation. . .

[Denver.]

I never knew Laugh Out Loud existed in 2005. But in regard to the topic, here is what I got in my mail today. 

 

Hello,

 

I have contacted you because I have carried out research into a dormant account of a deceased client at the financial institute where I presently audit its accounts; here in the United Kingdom and the client has no heirs.The account has a significant amount of money in it. An account is judged to be dormant if there has been no activity in it, or contact with the client,for 15 years. Normally, account holders lose contact due to death without leaving a will and there's no known heir to inherit. The treasury department receives the unclaimed money unless a previously unknown distant relative comes and puts a claim on it; which is usually within a limited time frame.

 

 

The United Kingdom’s Treasury Department receives over ?10bn every year from unclaimed estates; forgotten funds; abandoned shares and dormant accounts and some of it could be ours if we can work together as I can provide all relevant documents and information. We could present you as the next of kin to deceased, as laid out in section 46 of the Administration of Estates Act of 1925 (with subsequent amendments) if you agree to work with me.Late Rafik Bahaa Edine Hariri (November 1, 1944 - February 14, 2005),married to Nazek Audi Hariri, was a Lebanese self-made billionaire and business tycoon, and was five times Prime Minister of Lebanon(1992-1998 and 2000-2004)before his last resignation from office on October 20,2004.The late Rafik Hariri died on February 14, 2005 when explosives equivalent to around 300 kg of C4 were detonated as his motorcade drove past the Saint George Hotel in the Lebanes capital,for more information please log on to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rafi

k_Hariri]

 

 

I will need to enter into an agreement with you, which will cover the disbursement aspect of funds. Furthermore, you will have to  sign a consent form that gives the lawyer power of attorney to represent you at the probate office (for the Procurement of the Grant of Probate). The amount in question currently stands at (GBP Ten million seven hundred and fifty-nine thousand British Pounds Sterling) only.At the closure of this transaction, 35% of the total funds will be yours,50% for me and 15% will be set aside for expenses both of us might occur during the transaction.So, if you would like to team up with me discreetly to secure these funds for ourselves.

 

 

I await your careful considered answer as when we proceed we cannot stop half way, as this is one in a life time opportunity to go big.

 

 

 

Regards,

 

Mr. Frank Clifford.
