"da-boyer consultants" letter is a scam
Yep! Received a letter in the mail today. Claiming I am next of kin to receive $6.8 mil. (Nice try pal)
"Signed" off by some "barrister" called Miller Pravada.
Letter went like this:
Dear ******
Firstly, I must solicit your confidence in this transaction; this is by virtue of its nature as being utterly confidential and top secret. Though I know that a transaction of this magnitude will make any one apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring you that all will be well at the end of the day (You mean for yourself). Let me start by introducing myself properly to you. It may surprise you receiving this letter from me, since there was no previous correspondence between us. My name is BARRISTER MILLER PRAVADA (ADV.) a personal attorney to late Ms. ******* ***
My purpose of contacting you is for you to help secure the funds left behind by my late client, to avoid it being confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Bank where his fund is valued $6,800,000.00 deposited by my client before her death.
The bank has issued me a notice to contact the next of kin or the account will be declared unserviceable and the fund diverted to the Bank treasury, so far all my efforts to get a hold of you or someone related to the woman has proved abortive. Hence, she made you her next of Kin before her death, I am actually asking for your consent to present you to the Bank as next of Kin/beneficiary of my late client's fund, since it is her last wish, so that the proceeds of this account can be paid to your account.
All the legal documents to back up your claim as my client's next of Kin, I shall provide. All I require is your honest cooperation (Um, how about honesty?) to enable us achieve this transaction. I wish to point out that according to the WILL of my late client, 20% of this money is to be shared among charity Organizations, while 30% is for me and the remaining 50% is for you. This transaction is entirely risk free. I will use my position as the client's attorney to guarantee the successful execution of this transaction. If you are interested, please contact me via. Tel: +346 91 744 643 (Private Number) or Email: millerpravada@consultant.com upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details and relevant documents that will help you understand this transaction well.
The intended transaction will executed under a legimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. However, if this notification is contract to your moral ethics, do accept my sincere apology. If on the contract you wish to achieve this goal with me (OR you mean in other words, the goal to steal my money) kindly get back to me with your interest for further explanations.
Kindest Regards

Really wish there was a way to catch these crooks. Probably just give them an empty bank account and let them put it there, ha! let's see if they actually do it, but of course they won't. Main point is, do not believe these scams, some of it really common sense when you read junk like that. I'm guessing if your reading this you have most likely done your research, so kudos to you.
Another Scam - Be Careful !
Hi All !
As mention in this blog by all, definitely a scam letter !!
Look like "this guys Fish worldwide for potential believers !!"
I'm from Israel and received yesterday the same "Template letter" signed by Mr. David Boyer (Da-Boyer Legal Consultants official letter with address,phone, email etc.)
The Will amount of his "Client" was 6.2 million euro (20% for Charity, 30% David Boyer and the rest for me) - Sound too good to be true !! (especially after looking for the name of his "client" in our genealogy family history that include more the 4 generation - nothing was found !! - nice try
Putting a name with similar family name as we own - "is a very tricky" - unfortunately with no success !!
as the old poem said - "Money don't fall from the sky, the shortest way to achieve it is by work "
Same scam received in Germany...
...coming from
Lanx Associates, Barcelona, Spain
and
Angeles Pelaez Moron, Barcelona, Spain
Received a similar letter
Hi,
on June 09 I received a very similar letter stating a "relative" by the name "MARIA" has passed away (never heard of a Yemeni woman named MARIA!),
I'm from Israel, and just now checked with a friend, I found her father received the same letter.
As per the letter I should receive 5.5 Million Euro.
