Donald Henry, Esq

Scam Money Transfers
Example - Mr.Donald Henry (Esq) ,
a solicitor at law, Lagos, Nigeria

A simple scam; a fake "Barrister" with a fake name (Mr. Donald Henry) claims to represent yet another dead millionaire who left no Will and has no heirs.  But lucky you, you have his same last name.  Sharing the same surname means you can scam with the "attorney" to defraud the estate and claim the money!  Gee, so even if this story were true, you would be committing a felony.  Does that sound good to you? Notice the similarity to the Bernard Abbah and Paul Williams scam letter. In this case the surname used is "SMITH", but the scammer will change that to you name!

Just another scam. Here it is for your entertainment.  Notice some of the more obvious clues that it is a scam, such as the free email accounts being used by a law firm, the lousy spelling, punctuation and grammar, citing a real accident to give the story the appearance of credibility, and so on. Just substitute "SMITH" in the scam email below with your last name, and that will be what you'll receive, if the scammer gets your name and email address!
