Question by BARBARA S: is this sum kind of scam?
i’ve been getting emails like this for about a month i dkn what this is or why they are contacting me is it a scam of some sorts and what can i do ?
Good Day,
My name is Martin Gerad an Attorney at law. I am a partner to Chief Allen Brai, of ROYAL CHAMBERS and also the General overseer of Evangelical Mission for Christ (E.M.C).I got your contact from your local directory while searching for a Respectable and Trustworthy fellow to assist us in an Unclaimed Fund Deposit of US.8Million (Eleven Million, Eight Hundred United States Dollars) belonging to our late Client.
Our late client was a 78 years Old American Catholic Holy Ghost priest posted here to Nigeria in earlier 70’s on a Missionary Work; he lived all his life here and owned an NGO (Non-Governmental Organization) that receives Financial Aid (Grant) from the United Nation. He died of Asthma, and since then no one have come forward to claim this fund he deposited in a Bank here, which he intended to donate to Charity homes as he has been doing. The Directors of the Bank have issued our firm a notice as his private Attorney that my late client Deposit is over due for claim.
I have tried search on the Internet to locate any of his relative abroad on whose account this Fund can be paid into without success, except you. Dear, we wish to present you as the Beneficiary/Next of Kin to my deceased client fund. I want to assure you that this does not involve any risk, since I his Attorney is presenting you as his Beneficiary, every legal documents will be dually procured to ensure a successful and legal fund claim. Else, this fund will be confiscated and directed to the Federal Account.
Kindly go through the sharing Ratio. You will get Million USD as your share, while we get Million USD, we will use .8Million USD to establish an orphanage home in any Country of our choice as my client wished, while the balance will be set aside for any expenses that we may incur while processing this transaction.
I will give you more details about this transaction when I receive your affirmative response.
Meanwhile kindly send me the Following Information’s :
Full Name:
Age:
Address:
Phone Number:
Fax:
Occupation:
Please keep this information as CONFIDENTIAL as possible.
I’m looking forward to your prompt and affirmative response.
Yours Sincerely,
Martin Gerad Esq

i get emails like this all the time. i just ignore them.
This is a scam.
The scammers want you to reply with information that can be used to their advantage.
That means they need an email account to receive your response. This is rarely the from address since they send out millions which are obvious by their number. You will find the reply address either in the replyto header or in the body of the message.
Now, extract the message with full headers and send them with a polite, concise complaint to abuse@the.hosting.domain where the.hosting.domain can be found in the reply address.
Of course, it is a scam!
It is a scam to get your personal information and/or money.
Do not respond to it.
Report it to yahoo, so they are aware.
Forward to spam@yahoo.com or spoof@yahoo.com (If it involves a lot of money)
And for your E-mail safety, remember:
Never open E-mail unless you are absolutley sure of who sent it, treat ALL others as spam.
Never give out your personal information out to anyone, be it E-mail, snail mail, phone calls or at your front door.
It’s nothing but an outright scam. Don’t give out your personal information to the scammers. Just get that message spammed straight into obilvion right away. You don’t get a cent out of this “so-called” inheritance. The whole thing is nonsense!
