I thought I just had to share this. Either this lad has some great scriptwriter or he's just very determined. My question is, can any of our resident UK mates check if that adress is real? I was thinking about telling him that I'll send an associate to his barrister to talk this deal over. Interesting though that the mail got some chinese/japanese characters in it. Thought from the Israel ip that he's just another Nigerian posing as asian but he may be actually asian.

Dear Partner,

I am in receipt to your mail,I am the initiator of this deal and have given you my word which is my bond. I am the one here and an integral part of the banking system. I am not joking in my assessment of this. You know your system while we know our system .I have also heard the saying ?f it sounds too good to be true then it is not true!!!? conversely same way you do not get the taste of tea unless you soak it in hot water. From inception, i knew this business was going to depend a lot on trust; amongst us. I was willing to trust this huge money in your care, because i had no other choice than that.since there was very little time between when i got your contact and the actual commencement itself. This was more so because my term of reference in account department will soon be over, there was the urgent need to get concluded the matter before leaving office.
but I tell you my position yesterday is still my position today. We have to work this together to the end. We can only be like the French legionnaires who if one falters the others push him on, if he stumbles, he? picked up and if he retreats, he is shot. So are you faltering now or what. What are the contingencies opened to us, now that your loyalty and faith is to other matters.

To laugh is to appear the fool. To weep is to risk appearing sentimental. To reach out for another is to risk involvement. To expose feelings is to risk exposing our true self. To place your ideas, your dreams, before the crowd is to risk lost. To love is to risk not being loved in return. To live is to risk dying. To hope is to risk despair. To try at all is to risk failure. But risk we must, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing? hero is no braver than anyone else;

Somebody more experienced than me may be able to say more, but it seems the address fits the postcode, but there is no law firm by that name at the address stated.

The address is real, but not the company (surprise surprise).
For that postcode, there are three addresses: 2 for Brist0w C00ke, and one for C0ntrada 1nteri0rs.
At least he did enough research to come up with an ACTUAL street.....

The address is real enough and it's a famous area full of solicitors' and barristers' offices in London, but it has undoubtedly just been hijacked for the scame-mail to sound impressive.

The Chinese characters in the e-mail just show they are using a Hongkong/Chinese mail service. They use all sorts, and it doesn't make the scammer Asian. He's probably West African, so if you try for a meeting at his fictional office you'll be asking for the impossible.

It's most likely a satellite service. The script is a script and very Laddish Smile
