Norway, out of all places..
I got a letter written today in English from METILO ABOGADOS & ASSOCIDOS.
Calle del Halcón, 54, 28025 (I googleMapped it, and it did not seem like a street where lawyers would be..)
Madrid, Espana
Barr. Ramos Carlos
email: carlosramos474@yahoo.es - I mean come on.. Yahoo?
Tel: 00-34-658-501-067
He said some guy with the same surname as mine had worked with him in the Mining and Smelting Company in Spain for thirteen years. He died in a car accident with his wife and kids in 2004.
He says that this guy had 11.5 million US dollars to the next of kin, which he meant could be me. Han he writes the share ratio to be 50% 50%.
I kind of believed it at first, but then I saw the yahoo address and they don't have any website. So.. Yeah.
Spanish Laywer from Madrid
Hey Guys,
I live in Germany and Dad received such a letter on his fax...
I just want to know where they get our fax number ...okay it´s the number of his firmfax....
I had the feeling that this has to be a joke , because I know no one of our family that died in the thunder of 2008 !
They used a name of one person of pur family but this person died in the 1940s oder 1950s.
It´s just a big big fake...
Run run run !!!
Spanish Lawyer with a Portuguese Post Mark
I received a letter today dated and post marked September 14 from the "law firm" LGG Abogados y Acesores telling me someone who shared my surname had died in 2004 in the Indonesian Tsunami and left US$10.8-million in One Trunk Box/Diplomatic Personal Treasure. This was supposedly left with a "Safe Security Company" in Spain although the contents were undisclosed to the company.
The "Barrister's" name was Jorge Canta. They are supposedly located in Madrid at Frayjuan Gil 4, 28002 Madrid but gave a postal address of Sur. 13-301 46021 Valencia Spain. I mention this because the envelope was post marked Lisbon, Portugal with the same date as the letter.
Snr. Canta assures that even though I am not likely actually related to his client, by allowing him to use my name he will, "(through the rule of law)" be able to claim the money.
Where do these people come from? Are people stupid enough to think they're legit?
Scammers have a long reach
I'm in New Zealand, but same basic theme. My deceased relative (?) was an engineer called Garyvn. This guy has to be a real clown doesn't he ? I mean .. Garyvn ? How would you even pronounce that ?
