Ok, typical inheritance scam setup, I'm gonna act as the next of kin for this guy, but I have to promise to donate a certain percentage of his millions to his charity. Amazingly within 3 days of first contact, he dies, so now the bank wants me to pay for the documentation and fly to London.

Strangely, the wealthy guy goes by about 7 different names:
- Prof Smith Doll (in his email and how he signed off)
- Professor Prof Smith William Shaboe Doll (by his Barrister once)
- Prof. Felix Doll. May his gentle soul rest in the bosom of the Lord, Amen. (by the bank)

I don't have them off script yet, but it's moving along very quickly. They ignore my questions, and had no problem when I provided incomplete information, and a useless passport scan (renamed .dll file).

Before his death, the bank offered me two options to transfer the monies to me.

(1)ACCOUNT TO ACCOUNT TRANSFER.
(2)DELIVERY OF YOUR FUND THROUGH A UNITED NATIONS DIPLOMAT.

I replied "ehh, just send a check".
Obviously from #1 they're hoping to get bank details, but what is the scam with option #2?

Or is this just a stall tactic since now he's died and they want me to come to London?

Ahh nevermind. Now I see. I have 3 choices:

Quote:

1, You have to pay for the Legal documents that will empower us to transfer your fund into your account.

2, You have to come down to London meet with a fiduciary agent who will help you to pull this money out of our bank with his connections and sign some documents regarding this transfer such as your transfer release order.

3, A diplomat working with the United Nations will deliver this fund to your country United Nations in a machine packed diplomatic box. In this case you need not to send down any money to London rather you are going to be responsible for the clearance of this diplomatic box that contain your inheritance fund but bear in mind that we do not know how much it will cost but the diplomat will make it cheaper for you because of his diplomatic license.

Once again I replied "just send a check".

Well they actually don't care much about YOUR account details.

The bonus with Option #1 is that you get THEIR account details. Most lads aren't knowledgeable enough to pull of any kind of "account hack" and steal all your money. The reason for your information is to gauge how "on the hook" you are.

As for Option #2 that's a typical run as well, but means you will probably be milked for more money. They WILL send someone to meet you at a location, and will either set you up with some construction paper money to be "cleaned" or take the money and run....or all kinds of worse possibilities.

I say you do BOTH options! Start with one, get his account closed, get frustrated and tell him it would just be easier to move to Option 2. By then he should be well off script and ready to start listening to what YOU suggest.

I don't suppose that counts as a Safari since they probably have people already in London doing that for them.

Ok, so what do I do about sending them fake account details to initiate the transfer?

Make em' up! Razz

Or Robb, Steele & Lute.

Actually, that's my law-firm, but they can be put to work banking, too.

If you choose option 2 they will probably try and talk you out of it anyway. Most scammers don't want to meet up they just want an MTCN to take to Western Union/Moneygram it is easier that way. Try as I might I'm ashamed to say that although I have been baiting for over a year I have never had so much as one mugu wait for me at an airport holding a ridiculous sign; came close once or twice but they've always backed out Sad
