In Brussels received this letter saying that 4.5 Mio Dollars are waiting for me to be split 50/50 with lawyer. If I agree on claiming that I am the relative of a guy with my last name. Of course total scamming. Beware all out there.

Another name: Marcus Sollana Y Socio, Solicitor y Notaries Public,Avda. del Brasil26,28020 Madrid.. Inheritance scam......
Take Care...
This time /September 4th 2013) the letter arrived to Italy (Milano) to my father (88 years old).
The lawyer (Andrew Ward) promits a sure an rely process to obtain 8.5M US kept in securety society.
The money belongs to a relative died in Tsunamy storm in 2004.
He says to work for Cuatrecas in Madrid that has a website (true or false?? - in this website there is the same address and the face of the lawyer). He asks for contact by private emai (ba.andrewward@yahoo.it).
When I digited this address to google I found this Forum.... Whow ham many cases...!!!
We all are relatives of very rich persons!!!
The letter is written in bad italian (I think they used a internet translator)
It was posted from valencia - Spain
The conclusion of the letter is funny: "in case you are not interest please contact me in any case son I ca continue my research with an othe person with your last name......
Just received a letter from this supposed law firm, supposedly in Barcelona, Spain, more precisely "attorney", "barrister", Jorge Rottier Sala", proposing to split 50/50 the millions someone with the same last name left when he was killed with his family in a cyclone while holidaying in Myanmar...
It says "I know you may not be in any ay related to my late client but having a common surname with him is a possibility that the fund will be released or transfer to you. I can guarantee you that if you are willing and interested I will put in place all necessary modality in accordance with the law to legally present you as the true next of kin/beneficiary."
The letter is postmarked Correos CTA Valencia.
Please add this possible scam to your list. An 80 year old friend received a letter from an Edward Blanco of Banco Bancaja Espana, saying he was a Solicitor and legal attache and offering my elderly friend a 50% share in money left by someone with the same surname who had been killed in the 2004 Tsunami.
I got a letter today from this guy today, by posthttp://belegal.com/forums/images/icons/icon7.png
marcus sollana y socio, solicior y Notaries Public, Avda. del Brasil 38020 Madrid, Spain.
The story, a lady has died in an accident with her only daughter. No relatives anymore. Because I have the same surname as this lady, we have the chance to get herdeposit of 2.360.000 Euros. If I follow his instructions, he will do 50-/-50 with me. 1.180.000 Euros, I really would like to have it.
I never heard such an bullshit. Everybody knows, that someone has to evidence, that you are in any family relation with her.
Otherwise you get nothing and all money goes to the state she lives.
If someone get such letter, don`t think about the money, staiop dreaming and throw it in the next waste basket
I got pretty much the same letter today, and have notified the Madrid police!

Hello all,
I recived today the same letter from Geraldo Balfour, the same 4.5M euro and the same shitty story. I'm from Israel.
Be carefull and don't be stopid guys!
Add South Africa to the list: I live in Cape Town and just received a letter posted in Valencia, Spain from RICARDO CORTES from the so-called firm G C G ABOGADOS, Calle Em Ilio Orturo 6, 03501 BENIDORM . ALICANTE . ESPANA. Tel/Fax; +34-935-457-007, informing me about my inheritance of $ 11.5 million from my "long lost aunt"!!! Poor soul; she died in a plane crash!
Well we received 2 letters in 1 Week
Both letters same thing, different first names, same surnames. Both people died in May 2008. One letter is for about USD 3.8 mil and the other USD5.8 mil.
I emailed the Innex to enquire about some further information, and believe it or not, I received a phone call from Spain from the apparent Barrister. I then received another call from him today, asking if my dad was wanting to proceed with the claim. Today we received the second letter, this one being from Milan San Bravo.
I have forwarded copies of both letters to my attorney.
we received in the mail that same letter from Batalla Abogados & Solicitors yesterday claiming the same thing that they were looking for the heirs of a miner from Spain who left a large amount of an inheritance, yea right!
This is a scam!
We also received a letter in Canada - October 24, 2013
Letter was mailed from:
F M Law Firm
Calle de la cruz 92, 28012
Madrid, Spain
Fernando, Melvis
enquiry_info@lawyer.com
fmlawfirm@consultant.com
The postage was from France....???
Apparently, before the accidental death of a business magnate during the Madrid Train bombing (M11), this magnate deposited one trunk box/diplomatic personal treasure containing a sum of $6.8M. To be split 50/50 between me and Mr. Fernando Melvis....?? Yeah right.
They have a website that corresponds to the details in the letter......
BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I got a letter via post office mail from this one - Ivan Prieto http://uppergatefirm.com/home/index....us/ivan-prieto
I told him that I am going to show the letters to my lawyer....
Please check if that person should be added to the list here..
Thanks
Hi, i get the same letter from
ERICO ABOGADOS CONSULTOR
Paseo de Sarasate 5, 1 Dcha, Pamplona 31002 Spain
Hi!
This seems to be an example of classic Nigerian letters, advanced-fee fraud scheme. What I found surprising, however, is that both me and my spouse received one letter each today, delivered by usual post. I had previously received such correspondence by email only and with anti-spam filters getting smarter such emails have mostly been filtered out by my email clients recently.
The sum at stake is 13 500 000 USD cash
Ours are from Don Erico Lawson
+34602454705
ericoabogados@gmx.com
erico_lawson@ericoabconsultor.com
Both letters were posted in Valencia, Spain
We are from Stockholm, Sweden
l have just had a letter from Barrister Gonzales J Batalla in Madrid for $9,5m addressed to my late husband. Coincidence it is yet another mining company. Another scam so be warned.
I received one of these letters today. I live in Canada. The "lawyer's" name is Alexander W Blanc of Fal Attorneys. He claimed to be in France on work but was returning to Spain shortly. My "relatives" died in Cyclone Nargis in Myanmar.
I got a letter yesterday from this firm. An unknown relative had died. 9.500.000 Euro to be spilt between a Dr. Helmut Vetter and myself, 10% goes to charity.
vetterhelmut@yahoo.com or dr.helmut@vetterasociados.com.
Phone: +34 632690224 fax: +34 911820287.
I was only 99% sure this was a scam until I read this thread because it was real mail and not email, so thank you for adding information here! :-)
Anja in Norway
I too live in canada and recieved a letter from a Alexander W blanc. Stating that a relative died and my inheratance is $4.2M
I emailed him asking about his legitimacy but I know now that he is a fraud.
I just recieved a letter from Alexander W Blanc, another fraud...saying 8.2 million dollars is in a safe security company in spain and i am heir and would be entitled to 4.1 million.follow his instructions to claim.he says he's in france and will return to spain by oct.30,2013 .Beware
They're still at it, another 6.5m$ inheritance from a lawyer calling himself Ricardo Gonzalez, supposedly working for Abaco Legal with a phony email dagarcia1270@gimail.com
The scam letter I received was posted in Portugal. I live in Canada. The letter says that his client, with the same last name as me, died in a car accident, along with his family, on November 21, 2004. He left US $8,650,000 in a bank account and since no family heir/inheritor has been found, Otero wants me to pose as the next of kin, because of the same surname. We would split the money 50/50. I quite enjoyed it and had a good laugh.
I received a letter today from William Z Riviere Abogados, a "barrister" from Madrid, Spain about a possible relative who worked for Muammar Gaddafi (exact spelling!) as an oil contractor for the Libyan government. The letter was addressed to the unique name I use on my Florida driver's license. They must be selling our info to scammers!
I was forwarded a letter dated in May 2013, addressed to my long deceased mother! It was dated May 7/13 and came from F M Law Firm, Callo de la cruz 92, 28012, Madrid, Spain. The post mark on the envelope was FRANCE!
The writer, Fernando Melvis, stated that my relative, Charles Schario, and his family had been killed in the Madrid Train Bombing of 2004, March 11. He said I was able to claim an inheritance of $6.8 million dollars which had been located in a "one trunk box/Diplomatic Personal Treasure" with a Safe Security Company in Spain.
As he was unable to locate any remaining family members he was authorized to present me to make claims or the vault would be confiscated. If I agreed, we would split the contents 50/50!
Just to be sure, I googled the above mentioned train bombing and was unable to find a list anywhere of the victims. I know that my family had European relatives with this rather unusual surname, but I have not been able to find any info about him.
I have chocked this up to an elaborate scam and am considering reporting it the RCMP Fraud squad.
I got one of those this year too. Posted from Valencia, Spain; I live in Canada. This is probably third or fourth letter of this kind that I received over the course of five - six years.
They must be mailing them more in bulk these days - it was all printed (including signature) and the postage on the envelope was printed too. I remember that one of the early ones really impressed me because it had a post stamp that had to be manually glued to the envelope and the signature was really done by hand - you could see the indentation of the pen in the paper.
The law firm referenced in the letter, "Rodrigo Ferrer and Associates", seems to have a very professionally looking website. The odd thing is that they list a physical address in Madrid, but postal address in Valencia, 335 km distance...
Anyway, as much as one would want that to be true (who wouldn't want to inherit several millions...?) it's a pretty obvious scam...
Like everybody else, we could inherit 9.5 mio Euros from some person passed away with our same family name.
The legal firm seams to have a legitimate website (a lot of fake seller do as well nowadays). The address is Carrer de Colon 76 in Valencia - in that city there is only a Calle de Colon, so fake address.. than they give a phone number same as Anja from Norway and a different fax number +34 961 125 606.
I start asking myself how are these scams possible, aren't the technologies at disposal of authorities up to the task?
