They would divide the content for 50 % for me and 50 % for them . They asked to maintain discretion.

I thought it was suspicious so I used Google for confirmation 🙂

Ditto- but this came by letter.
Apparently a relative left $7.5Million Euro. Don’t know why I was picked out of all my brothers and sisters! 🙂

(of course – I was advised in he letter that they did not want any undue publicity. So I not to tell anyone..oops)

I got a similar letter from CEO/DOPICO ABOGADOS Law Firm in Spain sent to me in AUSTRALIA – where someone with same lastname has died and he deposited 7,5 Million Euros . They would divide the content for 50 % for me and 50 % for them . They asked to maintain discretion. The letter was sent from Paris on the 11th August 14 claiming that Manuel Dopico is currently in France, which is weird, because he states in his letter that he would be returning to Spain on the 29th of July!!!! LOL….

Can’t even get his story straight!!!

On the 19/08/14, my Mother in her 80’s, in Melbourne, Australia got a very similar letter from the supposed “Law Firm”, CEO/DOPICO ABOGADOS, in Spain, stating that someone with the same surname as hers had died and also that the “supposed” 7,5 Million Euros would be divided, with 50 % being for my Mother and 50 % being for them. Again they asked to maintain discretion. The letter was also supposedly sent from Paris, on the 24/07/14 claiming that Manuel Dopico is currently in France and that he would be returning to Spain on the 29/07/14.

My Mother being naturally suspicious of this letter, asked me to see what I could find out about it. I also knew that it was to good to be true and I was very pleased when I found your site and the information posted by others with the same, or similar experiences.

This is definitely not the first time I have had experience with this kind of garbage and I’m sure it won’t be the last. I suppose the best we can do is try to and warn as many people as possible about scum like this and hope that they are caught and get what they deserve. Many thanks.

My father, also in his 80s, told me he just received a letter from one Albert San Roca, just as the previous poster (Paul) has described. We are also in Melbourne, Australia.
I was pleased to find this site so quickly and hope that others may be helped by the information here.

We live in Wellington, New Zealand and received an identical letter to Linda’s from Melbourne, Australia. The letter was from a ALBERT SAN ROCA. Thankful I found this site. BEWARE!

I got a letter sometime around june 2014,from ATTORNEY/SOLICITOR NICOLAS SIMON GARCIA of SOLER MONTE INTERNACIONAL, someone with the same last name as me has died and there is some 5 millions euros for the taken. Im in my late 40s and didnt fall for that.

Same to me… I receive a letter but very strange the e-mail is gmail.com, and not from a company, and who will knock my door saying you have 5.8m usd to receive… and I am not even the relative of this person, anyway thanks a lot

A cliente came to my office with a letter from ALBERT SAN ROCA. I’ll be carefull and send him an e-mail to check what is that fortune he says that my cliente have from a died relative. I hope to cach him an send his contact to police and Brazilian Embacy. Beware people.
Um cliente veio ao meu escritório com uma carta vinda do suposto advogado ALBERT SAN ROCA. Vou ser cuidadosa e enviar a ele um e-mail para chegar que fortuna é essa que ele diz que minha cliente tem do parente distante morto. Espero pegá-lo e enviar seus contatos à polícia e à Embaixada Brasileira na Espanha. Fiquem atentos pessoal.

please can someone advise me if landholme roger angel is a well know scammer in Spain ?

I just received a letter (snail mail) from Don Jose Pablo at Pablo & Garcia Abogados containing a lot of the information described above. Apparently, I am sole heir of Daniel Tomiko Haynes, simply because I share the same first name.

The email address the lawyer wants me to contact is josepablo61@spainmail.com (josepablo61 null@null spainmail NULL.com). It is evident that this is a scam, but I have to say it is very elaborate. I am glad this website confirmed my strong suspicions.

My mother, living in Belgium, received a letter via snail mail, stamped in Valencia, from a Fedrick Walter working for http://www.soler-int.com/ (http://www NULL.soler-int NULL.com/), claiming she is entitled to a 5 million euro inheritance from an unknown relative in Spain. Very obvious this is a scam with a seemingly legit website to back it up. First time I’ve seen this type of scam in letter form. Probably to add extra credibility, they do a thorough job of making it seem convincing.

In 14 Nov 2014, my Mother in her 80′s, in Melbourne, Australia got a very similar letter from the supposed Barrister Richard Samdperil of Calle Esperanto 11, in Madrid, stating that someone with the same surname as hers had died and also that the “supposed” 10.5 Million US Dollars would be divided, with 45 % being for my Mother and 50 % being for them and 5% to cover costs. What the…? Very suspicious.

The term Barrister apparently is not used in Spanish law, so suspicions raised again.

My Mother asked me to see what I could find out about it and I was very pleased when I found your site and the information posted by others with the same, or similar experiences.

I also looked up the address to find it’s an apartment building with rooms to rent.

Thank you

@Stefan
Same here, Stefan… Got a letter here in Brazil, from Fedrick Walter, from SOLER MONTE INTERNATIONAL ABOGADOS in Spain (Av. de España, 32, 02006), Albacete, España), website http://soler-int.com (http://soler-int NULL.com), phone number (+34) 688 321 070, Fax (+34) 961 125 621, email fedwalter@gmail.com (fedwalter null@null gmail NULL.com) and fedwalter@mail.com (fedwalter null@null mail NULL.com).

Some rich business man with same surname died and left 5 million Euros for me.

He urged me ti keep this proposal in utmost confidentiality pending the discussion.

Didn’t ask for advanced payment, only to contact him by email or telephone, if I am interested. I am not interested.

I live in Montréal, Québec, Canada.
I received a similar letter from Victor Fernando Enrique, from SOLER MONTER INTERNATIONAL ABOGADOS (Rambla Nova, 120 Tarragona – España – Tel/fax: +34 603 132 630).
The exact same story : dead people with the same surname and a lot of money.
Be carefull: it’s impossible to identify the stamp on the envelop and to know where this letter is coming from.
And the logo printed on the letter is distorded; this can not be a real formal letter paper of a lawer firm.

I live in the United States and my letter for $7.5 million euros came from Nicholas Simon Garcia from Soler Monte International. Poor David passed away and after an EXTENSIVE search I am the sole living benefactor.

I live in South Africa and my letter for $7.5 million euros came from Nicholas Simon Garcia from Soler Monte International. Likewise, poor David passed away and after an EXTENSIVE search I too am the sole living benefactor. Thank you Ellen for posting your comment, it has given me peace of mind to destroy the letter in question.(@Ellen

I live in Ontario Canada and I just received the same letter from Victor Fernandez Enrique from Soler Monte International Albacete Spain. Isn’t it amazing how the deceased name is always “David”. I better keep it quiet too, otherwise my relatives might find out and I’ll have to share the $7,500,000.00 Euros with them. And how convenient that Dead David has no living relatives so even though I’m not really related, having the same last name qualifies me. WOW! Today is my lucky day! Lucky I’m not stupid!

@Marie

You can add Pedro Norman Ramiro, Attorney to the list of scammers. My mother-in-law (St. Catharines, Ontario) received the same sort of letter this week from him although he makes no mention of dividing the money, just that if she wishes to pursue the matter she should contact him.

A company based in Spain, named Pinkerton Asociados 21 SL, operates a website called https://extrait-casierjudiciaire.org (https://extrait-casierjudiciaire NULL.org) which claims provides services to request, obtain, affix apostille and send to you a Extract from the French Casier Judiciare system. The charge for that service is around 80 Euros, which can be paid by credit card account. From their site, from the nature of the information they require (which doesnt conform to what the French authorities actually require) and from their non response to my email enquiries over 5 days after having paid for the service, I can only conclude this is a scam, or otherwise dubious website. While they allow for putting in a reference number to track your request, it provides this non committal information, in poor french to boot BEWARE

My father got a similar letter. It was a letter from Aguirre Abogados, and Barr David Rodrigo was the guy who wrote the letter.

fiy a person’s signature should always be written with ink and not look like it was copied or scanned.

My neighbour in Tauranga, New Zealand received a similar scam in a letter posted from Spain. I have seen too many email scams to count, but seeing one posted internationally was a novelty. Someone in Spain with the same last name as his had supposedly died while on “short holidays visit to Myanmar”, leaving 6 million which the Spanish lawyer proposed splitting 50:50.

I received this one. posting so others can be aware.

Do permit me by introducing myself briefly to you. It may surprise you receiving this letter from me, since there was no previous correspondence between us. But i have no any order alternative than to use this means to contact you on this matter. I have decided to take the chance seeing that no other way could have been easy and more efficient than via email.
I am Javier Cremades, Advocates and Solicitors a law firm based on Madrid Spain represents clients in the following dispute resolution forums: federal court, court of appeal, high court, session court, arbitration and mediation. Actually, I got your contact from American Public record while searching for a last name similar to my late client, a business magnate by name Mr. Bernard Gonzalez, who lived in Spain for the past forty years unfortunately, passed away on 14 November 2011 due to heart failure which was as a result of the death of all his family members in a fatal auto accident.
I am contacting you because you answer the same surname as my deceased client and I felt that you could help me in the distribution of funds that were left in my late client’s account. Before the calamity; He deposited the sum of $5.2M (Five Million Two Hundred Thousand US Dollars) to a Financial Institution here in Spain, The fund is close to been declared un-serviceable by the bank as there were no indicated next of kin or beneficiary of the fund in the account.
The bank had issued me a notification at the beginning of the New Year 2015 to present next of kin of my deceased client to make claim of the fund in the account or have the fund liquidated and made unserviceable in accordance with existing laws here in Spain.
Against this backdrop, am seeking your honest cooperation and understanding to stand as the deceased next of kin to enable us claim the inheritance before the period given by the bank elapse. I know you may deem this fund not necessary as you may have a lot to eat for the rest of your life, but bear in mind we can still use this fund to assist the homeless, the Orphanage and other people suffering in this bad economic world we are in today.
If you are interested and willing to collaborate with me to stand as the next-of-kin beneficiary, get back to me and I will send to you all the information you may need to proceed without coming to Spain, and be rest assured 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. Once the fund is transfer into your account anywhere in the world, we shall divide the content in the ratio of 50% for you, 50% for me as our benefits.
For further clarification, please don’t hesitate to contact me as soon as you receive this email.Here javier.cremades@homemail.com (javier NULL.cremades null@null homemail NULL.com)
I look forward to your quick reply.

Authority Corporation, Barrister Miguel Angel Hernandez (Adv.) Paseo de Castellana 162, 28046 Madrid, Spain, Tel: +346 91 744 643 (mobile) Tel/FAX +349 11 881 432; Email: miguelangelhernandez@dr.com (miguelangelhernandez null@null dr NULL.com), would like to share €17,500,000.00 with me left by his late client, before it is declared unserviceable and the funds diverted to the bank treasury. 20% to be shared by charities, 30% for him and the remainder for me yippee!! I’m going to be rich.

My 86 years old aunt in The Netherlands received a similar letter by Barrister Miguel Angel Hernandez (Authority Corporation, Madrid) about the funds of 17,500,000.00 Euros of a non-existing deceased relative. The funds were to be split 20% to charity Organizations, 30% for Mr. Hernandez and 50% for my aunt. I am so glad my aunt was clever enough to immediately think of it as fraud.

Received the following from a Barrister Juan Antonio Ruiz; Jar & Abogados.

“My purpose of contacting you is for you to help secure a cash deposit left behind by my late client, to avoid it being confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Bank where his cash deposit valued 12,700 000.00 euros this money was deposited by my late client before he passed away, he deid by stoke and cancer on the 16th April 2004, he left the fund with no Will and up till today his relatives remained unknown.”

I KNOW this is a scam! The problem is this Barrister actually exists in Spain as I googled his name and the name of the practice. The telephone numbers and address differ from that given on Google. Another give-away is all the spelling errors as copied above.

Received a letter by mail from Juan Antonio Ruiz; Jar & Abogados.

Same text as Fiona above.

“My purpose of contacting you is for you to help secure a cash deposit left behind by my late client, to avoid it being confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Bank where his cash deposit valued 12,700 000.00 euros this money was deposited by my late client before he passed away, he deid by stoke and cancer on the 16th April 2004, he left the fund with no Will and up till today his relatives remained unknown.”

Apparently one of my relatives passed away in Spain.

The only problem is I have never had any relatives living and working in Spain

Today I received a letter postmarked “Royal Mail… postage paid GB”, which makes me think it was mailed in Great Britain.

It’s on good quality watermark paper, and purports to come from the firm of “Miguel Chambers (More than a law firm [sic])” in Albacete Spain. The writer calls himself Jose Martinez, and the content is very similar to all the previous comments above.

I laughed out loud when I read it as it is a few notches above the usual Nigerian bank emails and took me by surprise! As always, it’s tantalizing to investigate these scams and see how they how wide they’ve spread their net.

@Fiona
I received the same letter on September 29th 2015

Everything must be kept confidential

Identical letter to Lin (three above, Oct 10th). Mine also dies on 16th April 2004 “by stroke and cancer”. Undertakers must have been busy that week.

Just received identical letter to Fiona,John & Lin from Juan Antonio Ruiz of Jar & Abogados.

Unfortunate all our “relatives” dying on the same day and not knowing about it!

Usually these come as emails but I got one today by mail sent by Royal mail.Well aren’t I lucky!!!Mine is 12.700,000.00 Euros! My unknown relative died of cancer and stroke and then later in the letter it was an accidental death.The firm is supposed to be Jar and Abogados and the ‘lawyer’ calls him self Barr.Juan Antonio Ruiz. Attorney at Law. He died on my late husband’s birthday!!! Where do they get this information? I will be replying by email which is a.abogados@lawyer.com (a NULL.abogados null@null lawyer NULL.com) 20% of the money will go to charity and he will share the rest with me!! I actually find these quite funny and I think if the email address does exist he will be getting a lot of emailsas I plan to spread the word.

I received the same letter, and I just moved here!
Why would a Barrister even be allowed to take 50% of someone’s trust? Is that normal?

I live in Melbourne & also received a letter from solicitor Nicolas Gonzalez Delitio (Spanish) who has a deceased client with the same surname as me. He claims after exhausting unsuccessful search for relatives, he picked me because of my surname and have stable address. Even thou l am not related, stand a very good chance to inherit €7.2 million, which Nicolas said will split 50/50. For a short while it was nice to dream, but as they say, ‘if it sounds too good to be true, then most probably it is too good to be true.’

I seem to have hit the same jackpot as Stephanie – Juan Antonio Ruiz of Jar & Abogados has €12,700,000 on behalf of an unknown relative who worked for a subsidiary of a Spanish Mining group in Australia.
He’s picked me out as I have the same name but is looking for 20% to go to a charity and split the rest – I would only get 40%.
I suspect the letter was posted in the UK.
Alas I will have to pass up the opportunity.
Maybe one day my premium bonds will come up.

I received a letter from a Spanish lawyer (in France on a seminar) with the same, someone with same surname passing away and possibility of me claiming the 7.4m euros at 50/50 between the lawyer and I.
I was extremely dissappointed after researching this that it was lower amount than other scams, and most of the recipients are in their 80’s and I am only in my 50’s!!

Nicholas & Associates in Spain, you will need to tempt me with more than 10M euros as I spend 7.4 M in beer each week!!!
