This is a format I have never seen. At some point, I will share the lad, but the initial script is pointed at a specific character. Due to the very limited use of this character's email address, I am beginning under the idea this lad has attempted to contact Eleanor before.

The subject format of the email was: Re: : Hi

I don't know if you have the chance to look at the initial email or if my initial email ever gets to you. I am John, in researching to trace also to locate my late customers David Please, confirm with me if you are the actual owner of this email address. I traced your contact at www.ancestry.com as one of the extended international distant family trees lineage relatives. I am contacting you for something that will be of great interest/benefit to you in regards to the deceased and I will explain to you more about the message in regard to the deceased.

Yours Sincerely,
John

I am the actual owner and I had an uncle David who was in Vietnam. Is this the same Uncle?

John wrote:

Hello Ellie, thanks for your response to my email. My name is John B, I am a financial advisor to the Late David H., and my credentials can be confirmed by visiting the bank website <This one.> Bank email address [email protected] Meanwhile you are free to contact the Bank email address to confirm by yourself the legitimacy of this message. My corporate business email contact is [email protected]

Like I told you that I will explain to you more about the message in regard to the deceased. David H. was a distant relative of yours who immigrated to Comoros Country from the (USA) when he was a young man of 58 years of age before his death. Since the death of my late client David H., I have made several enquire to your embassy to locate any of my customers extended relatives this has also proved unsuccessful.

I signed up at www.ancestry.com to retrace his International distance families tree relative and it was during this process of the research that I was able to come across to your contact if you are the actual owner of this email address. I guess that my contact with you is not an error by the family surname. I contacted you through this medium due to the urgent nature of the new development law of Comoros Country here, which I will like to discuss with you because I got your contact in search of David H.’s long distant relative/family member.

The recent amendments to the constitution of the Country law has mandated to all the commercial banking industry here in Comoros to confiscated any deceased unclaimed account that has no written will or next of kin detail associated to the account will be transferred to the Central Bank of Comoros reserve account if there are no claims in a few working days. And my late client account is subject to this situation warrants. He died without a will & last testament and no one has ever come forward to claim his fund.

Particularly, the investigation department of my bank has issued me a notice to provide any of his relatives or have the account confiscated because there is no written will or next of kin detail associated to the account. If you are willing to assist in repatriating the fund, and with my assistance as an insider, I guarantee that this David H.'s estate and the money he left in his account ($625,000), if not the Treasury will confiscate the money in a couple of weeks.

I have in my possession the documentation you will need to collect the letter of Administration in your name and the money will be transferred to any account of your choice. After the transfer to you, I am entitled to 10% of the estate funds transferred to your account as my professional fee. If you agree to my terms, I will furnish you with a proof of letterhead which the bank will confirm you as the legal Next of Kin. And with my authority, my bank will release the entire funds to you as required by law. Acknowledge the receipt of this email and your readiness to proceed with the transfer. Below is my picture. Hope to hear from you.

Sincerely,
John

It was important to email everybody, so John and Info received this:

Please confirm this is true and where is Comoros? Was this my late uncle David H. that was in Vietnam?

Ellie H.

Now, there's a new email, from Info.

Who do I contact first? I am going to try and look through old Uncle David's papers. I know my grandmammy and daddy saved a lot of his letters and things. This is the David H. that went to Vietnam, right?

Never seen this format either. Given the lad has put so much effort in to it I suspect he will bite hard when interest us shown in it.

I have seen a format involving Ancestry before.

Hello Ellie, I got your mail and I want to let you know that I'm the right person to contact in regards to your late uncle David H. You should stop contacting the bank without my direction towards this matter. If you agree to my terms by transferring 10% of the estate funds as my professional fee then I will furnish you with a proof of letterhead which the bank will confirm you as the legal Next of Kin. The reason I open up the issue with you is because of the recent amendment of the Comoros Government monitory policy which the constitution mandated to all the commercial banking industry here in Comoros to confiscated any unclaimed fund and the left behind will be transferred to the Central Bank of Comoros reserve account if there are no claims in a few working days. Of which my late client account is subject to this situation warrants because there is no written will or next of kin detail associated with my late client fixed deposit account of $625.000 and he died Intestate.

And since you bear the same surname with the deceased the proceeds of this account ($625.000) USD can be transferred to you with my assistance as an insider in the bank, and I will stand to protect your interest and guide you throughout as I have the necessary Information/documents that can be used to back up the claims which will empower you to claim the fund successful as the legal heir if you wish to assist in repatriating the money left behind before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by Government. If you are interested in us to work together and get the fund out and the fund will be transferred to you, kindly let me know so I will draft a letterhead and send it to you, which will enable the bank to confirm you also acknowledge you as the legal beneficiary of the account as the next of kin to late David H Hope to hear from you.

John

This lad does not like to go off script. So, Ellie replied to him at his normal email address and his bank email address.

Ellie wrote:

John,

You were the one to direct me to write the bank. I copied and pasted what you wrote:

my credentials can be confirmed by visiting the bank website <This one.> / Bank email address [email protected] Meanwhile you are free to contact the Bank email address to confirm by yourself the legitimacy of this message. My corporate business email contact is [email protected]

It's only fair that you apologize for your comment below.

It is also very rude and unprofessional to avoid my last two questions I have asked twice now. I anticipate a quick response to these so we may move forward. Until then, I am going through the carboard box of papers that belonged to my Uncle David.

Effie

As I suspected (and in a very quick manner):

This lad is a script rat.

Hello Ellie H., there's a recent development in our banking industry. Due to the vulnerability of our banking system, Comoros Bank through the federal government of Comoros mandated the commercial banks to recapitalize the financial base. As a result of this, banks are going into the merger. This has restored confidence and equally led to changes in their nomenclatures. My bank has a merger with Bank for Industry and Commerce (BIC) [email protected] due to this process. I will advise you to go through the website link http://www.anjouan.net/en_banques.htm# to view a list of the bank in Comoros now. We are in the three listed bank accredited Named (Bank for Industry and Commerce (BIC), a subsidiary of BNP-Paribas) Here is the letterhead I draft on your behalf and I will advise you to send it to the bank email contact.

Nice of him to send you a fake site offering an index of all of his other fake sites for easy reporting. Laughing

In GH, there is a thread by luckey titled, "How to turn a mole hill into a mtn" (actually, there are two threads, but start with part one). Sometimes, you just have to hammer a lad about the smallest of details (or why that damn bank site isn't there).

John wrote:

My Ellie, I told you the reason that you can't get in touch with us via the address. I have explained everything to you. If you are interested contact the email and I sent to you. Thanks

Ellie wrote:

I do not understand why you cannot explain to me.

The lad went silent, and I got bored, so it was time for a poke.

Ellie wrote:

I really don't understand what the delay is.

John wrote:

So, Ellie followed John's directions. In a manner of speaking...She sent the following to John's regular email, the bank email that bounces, and the new BIC@yandex addy:

Ellie wrote:

I don't even see a letterhead. I don't even know if this is Uncle Davy that went to Vietnam and never came home.

Well, the lad loved that.

John wrote:

Hello Elle, your message was forwarded to me through [email protected] I don't know why you don't understand you can't understand simple words. I have told you that you should contact me not the bank. Make up your mind, lad. Please, if you can't handle this, or follow my direction kindly forget the transaction. I don't have time for any kind of joke. Below is the message I draft on your behalf all you need to do s to copy it and send it directly to the BIC Bank email address [email protected] the address is not my personal email but belong to the BIC Bank.

Bor-ing...so, the above was forwarded to every email addy I have received so far, along with the following:

Ellie wrote:

Yes, I did do this, yet you continue to get mad. Mr. BIC Bank is copied on this mail and can see the message below that is drafted on my behalf. You should apologize because I am following your directions, yet you still have not told me if this is Uncle Davy that went to Vietnam.

Mr. BIC Bank, see below.

Then, Ellie sent the following to John:

Ellie wrote:

You are taking ME for granted. I have done EXACTLY as you said and I have still not heard about Uncle Davy and Vietnam. I think you do not know how important this was to my family. Uncle Davy was sent to Saigon to work as a radio host for the US Army. He was brought in for the morning show on the Army radio since he worked on the island of Crete and was very, very popular with all tthe American servicemen there. He never came home and nobody knew what happened to him. We have his letters and I can tell you some stories about him.

I sent the letter to the BIC Bank man as you said. You should see it since I sent the copy to you.
