"...the transaction is 100% risk free...." .."we shall divide the content into two." This sounds like a real criminal proposition to me. It is so mind-bogglingly unprofessional and ridiculous that it is obviously a scam.
Here is the letter in full, faithfully copying the mistakes, so judge for yourselves:
"My names are Barrister Raul Martinez Sanchez and I work with MANZANO-ABOGADOS, Granada, Spain. Actually, I got your contact information through the European Public Records while searching for a last name similar to my late client´s a business magnate by name Mr Fred C******* who lived in Spain for over a decade before death. He died along with his nuclear family in 29th of December 2004.
Prior to my explaining further, I must first make an apology for this unsolicited mail to you. I am conscious that this is certainly not a predictable way of approach to foster a relationship of trust I had no choice due to the circumstances and urgency surrounding this claim. Before the catastrophe that claimed his death,he deposited One Trunk Box/Diplomatic Personal Treasure, containing the sum of US$5,000,000 (FIVE MILLION U.S. DOLLARS) with a Safe Security Company here in Spain and a 40Kilogram of 24Karat pure Gold Bars with another Deposit Company outside Spain. Due to security and personal reasons he did not disclose the exact content of deposited Trunk Box to the SAFE HOUSE. As the attorney to late Mr Fred C******* the security company has mandated me to present a member of his family (heir/inheritor) to make Claims or the vault will be confiscated and taken to the Bureau of Diplomatic Security as unclaimed.
After exhaustive efforts of search for a direct family member to my late client which came to no avail, I was given an ultimatum to look for some relative to come for the claim or have the Vault liquidated and made unserviceable in accordance with existing laws. Against this backdrop, I am soliciting for you to stand as the next of kin. I know you may not be anyway related to my late client but having a common lastname with him and considering the modality I have in place, I could guarantee that if you follow my instructions (The rule of laws) ,capitalising of some judicial loop holes the vault would be release to us. Mind you that this transaction is 100% risk free; there is no atom of risk connected to this business as I have worked out all modalities to complete the operation effectively.I shall present you for the claim of the cash in the deposited Trunk Box first before introducing you for the claim of the Gold Bars depositied outside Spain. Once the consignment (vault) is released to you, we shall divide the content into two.
Kindly reply to this mail via my private email address and phone number below for further clarification. Please be kind to get back to me if you are not willing to collaborate with me so that I can further my search for another partner.
Kind regards,
Barrister: Raul Martinez Sanchez

Hoax Letter received from "David Pintos Law Firm"
Received a hoax letter from a so-called attorney "David Pintos" from Madrid Spain, claiming the usual - a next of kin needed to be found in order to have access to 8.4 million... received our info from Canadian Public Records... etc...
Wondering if there is a way to report this as they leave so much contact information (which I understand may be false). It would be nice to let police or investigators know so that they can investigate and spread the word - especially to prevent others and those more vulnerable and honest (like the elderly) from being victim of these scams...
Anyone ever report this?
