Scam from "Herman & Herman Associados"
I just received a mail from Barrister Edward Herman stating that someone with a similar last name as mine passed away and now I'm suppose to act as one of his kins just to avoid the 7.5 million Euros doesn't get confiscated or declared by the Bank.
All this very well written but being suspicious and knowing that this sounded too good to be true I did some research of my own. (also why I ended here)
I did check on the website http://www.hermanlaw-es.com/ - Again, very well written same information as on the letter, name, address, phonenummer etc
But when I did a whois on the website:
Domain Name:hermanlaw-es.com
Record last updated at
Record created on 2011/1/22
Record expired on 2012/1/22
Clearly a scam!
I do not understand how lowlifes like that can live with themselves!
I might add that the scam mail I received was withing the days when I registered to website like partnerwithpaul.com and paid-surveys-at-home.com. Being naive as I am at times, thinking I could earn extra cash by doing surveys only ended having my personal information sold to strangers around the world! All this makes you feel uncertain and insecure what more they could do with it.
I can't stress this enough, PLEASE be careful when you fill out your personal information online. Even if the website clams to be secure and have privacy-statements there's a chance that's just another scam and B.S. from their part.
BE CAREFUL ONLINE!

Obviously dodgy, just want people to be aware.
8/10/2010 recieved the same letter exactly from Jose Abrienda, how lucky we are to all have such wealthy relatives dying around Europe leaving 6.1 mil. euros. What a scam.
Scam Paloma Gallar Y Socio
Hello,
As it did not work with 6000 Eur, they augmented the amount!?! But then it sounds still more absurd and unbelievable!
I received (in Germany) 1 or 2 days early per post exactly the same as the last mentioned on, from Barrister Mr. Paloma Gallar (Esq). too, so I would be supposed to get half of $15,500,000.00 (USD) -10% for charity!
I don't give that much my data on internet... No idea which website would have fish them up...
SCAM!BARR TONI RAMON (ESQ.)/Integrated solicitors
A family friend of mine in Thessaloniki (Greece) has just received a letter from Barr Toni Ramon,lawyer at a firm called Intergrated Solicitors in Spain.Having read the previous posts is needless to say that it matches exacty the pattern mentioned about a late person with the same last name and an account of 5.750.000 euros...
I was wondering how on earth this so called legal firm has found my friend's adress and what he should do next to protect himself.Is there an authority that deals with such issues?Is there anything we could do to prevent other people from getting tricked?
Any ideas anyone??
Thank you in advance!
