Be careful for someone want you inherit a stranger’s legacy by email.
給國內外朋友的詐騙提醒：
昨天透過Linkedin 工作機會交流平台，我收到一封自稱英國LLOYD BANK女總裁的信，說她一位客戶意外身亡，遺留900萬英鎊的財產希望我來繼承，因為我跟他都姓王，這樣錢就不會被討厭的政府沒收，而我可以跟她均分50%。
乍聽是詐騙，但文中她不斷強調這封信很嚴肅、希望我重視這筆交易、她是虔誠基督絕不說謊，由於沒收過這種信而且我非常相信人，於是認真的回信表示遺憾之類。
但後來查了一下銀行總裁（LLOYD BANK）、身亡客戶的資料都沒有符合的，於是我回信詢問能否提供官方資料對方都只是一昧詢問願不願意合作，後來索性搜尋“ 詐騙 遺產繼承” 就搜出一票新聞。
最後我還是禮貌地回信說：「請你提供官方資料，若其實是詐騙，我真心希望你可以停止繼續做這件事」畢竟若是真的我還是滿期待能從此一輩子環遊世界的哈哈哈XDD
附上信件的內容給大家參考：
Hello Anni
Thank you for your email, I appreciate your response.Thanks so much for the response to my email, I know this will come to you as a surprise but let me formally introduce myself; I am Mrs Jennifer Hall, Chief Executive Director and Financial Officer of Operation at LLOYD BANK Ltd,UK.My proposal is very important to me so please I want you to take the content of this mail very seriously. All I want is an honest business transaction between us.
I am also the personal accountant to Engineer Eric Wang, a foreign contractor who has an investment account with my bank with a huge sum of money in it. My late client was a chemical consultant contractor with Royal Dutch until his death in a fatal car accident while at France on sabbatical with his entire family. The accident unfortunately took the lives of the family members comprising of himself, his wife and two kids in the summer of 2010 may their soul rest in perfect peace. He banked with us here at Lloyds Bank and had a very huge sum of money in his account which has still yet not been claimed by anybody as there was no living will in place when he died.
The amount of money involved here is about 9,649,400 (Nine million, six hundred and forty nine thousand Pounds.) in account with indefinite interest. Since the death of my client; my bank and I have made several inquiries to his embassy to locate any of his extended family members or relatives but this has proven unsuccessful. I came to know about you in my search for a person who shares the same last name as my late client. I employed various services including LinkedIn search solely for this purpose as I feel it would not have been the last wishes of my late client for his whole life work to be transferred to a government (Es cheat) he had always complained of their unfavorable public monetary policies, taxes and so on while he was alive.
I am contacting you to assist me in repatriating the funds left behind before they are declared unserviceable by my bank. I am seeking your consent to present you as the next of kin of my late client since you share and bear the same last name. As such, the proceeds of the account can be paid to you as soon as you contact my bank and apply for the funds to be released to you as the next of kin. If we can be of one accord, I see no reason why we would not succeed. We both have to act swiftly on this matter in other to beat the deadline es cheat date. Please get back to me immediately for us to proceed.
I propose that upon successful completion of this deal, we will split the proceeds 50:50 ratio. I am after the success of this transaction with your full co-operation. All I require is your honesty and full co-operation to enable us see this cool deal go through. I guarantee you that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you and me from breaching UK laws. I want to also inform you that I am a very religious person and I cannot tell a lie because of my strong beliefs; I would expect the same from you.
If you are interested in my proposal and I will send you more information directing you on further procedure on how we can claim the money in the account successfully. If this proposal is alright by you then kindly get back to me by only e-mail for confidential reasons. The content of this mail should be treated with utmost confidentiality and a quick response from you will be highly appreciated. However, if you are not interested in this proposal, please accept my apologies for sending you message and kindly delete message, I promised that you will never hear from me. I anticipate your co-operation.
Thank you for your time and do have a great day.
Jennifer Hall
