David Brimley BARRISTER DAVID BRIMLEY Attempted to scam me with the offer to share 20 Million from a deceased client in Nigeria with no last name. Garki Abuja Nigeria
David Brimnley claims to be the barrister(Attorney) for a deceased Mr. White of Nigeria, yet he gave no first name for his client. He further claimed that no next of kin for Mr White could be found. Offering me 40% of the 20 mil if I would allow him to pose me as the next of kin. In this initial letter, he asks for my name, address, telephone, fax, age and occupation as well as my identification.
In the first place, if he were a genuine attorney, he would know the Illegality of presenting a phony next of kin for an inheritance, as well as taking the lions share of said inheritance. The letter was in all caps with misspells. I have encountered this type of scam before. The next step is to ask for my account number. He can then empty my account before I know what happens.

Even as you read the world famous Nigerian Scam (also known as a "4-1-9" or "Advance Fee Fraud" scheme) is parting yet more of the 'something for nothing' crowd from their money. Here's how it works, e-mail messages from Nigeria are sent to addresses taken from large mailing lists. The letters promise rich rewards for helping officials of that government (or bank, or quasi-government agency or sometimes just members of a particular family) out of an embarrassment or a legal problem. Typically, the pitch includes mention of multi-million dollar sums, with the open promise that you will be permitted to keep a startling percentage of the funds you're going to aid in squirreling away for these disadvantaged foreigners. If you're not saying "scam" by now, you should be. Should you agree to participate in this international bail-out, something will go wrong. Paperwork will be delayed. Questions will be asked. Officials will need to be bribed. Money from you an insignificant sum, really, in light of the windfall about to land in your lap will be required to get things back on track. You pay, you wait for the transfer . . . and all you'll get in return are more excuses about why the funds are being held up and assurances that everything can be straightened out if you'll just send a bit more cash to help the process along. Once your bank account has been sucked dry or you start making threats, you'll never hear from these Nigerians again. As for the money you've thrown at this, it's gone forever. In a nutshell, the con works by blinding the victim with promises of an unimaginable fortune. Once the sucker is sufficiently glittery-eyed over the prospect of becoming fabulously rich, he is squeezed for however much money he has. I also heard reports of victims traveling to these foreign countries hoping to collect there share of the money only to come home in a body bag. Bottom line, don't reply. Just delete the email or report it to http://www.spamcop.net and of coarse the Rip-off Report For the world to know.
