I have received another letter from a so called Spanish Barrister. This one is from Greg Overby with Vokintag Associates Madrid. He claims a relative with the same last name as mine who lived in Spain for 19 years died with his family in Hurricane Katrina, leavina $11,400,000.00. Mr. Overby would be happy to help me get this money for his fee of $6,200.000.00. I would get the balance of $5,200,000.00. Of course the only place I was able to locate anything about Mr. Overby was on a scam page on another site. This is the second such letter I have recieved this year. The earlier one was from a different firm and the victim perished in the Tsunami in Indonesia. Do people really fall for these scams??

I got a letter from Young Simmons and Associados giving an address at C/ Benet Mercede 19, 08012 Barcelona but posted in Lisbon Portugal (on 13 / 11 / 2011) with a share of an E6 million inheritance from a ‘relative’ I don’t have, who shared my last name. They gave their email as barristersimmons@ozu.es They gave their name Mr Young Simmons Esq which made me laugh, and offering me half the money if I pose as a relative. It least it cost them E0.8 for the postage. Pity its just a scam!

I too received a letter in the mail from “MURPHY HALL & ASSOCIADOS”…same as Keith from above, so clearly it is bullshit – thankfully I am one of the lucky people who know how to use Google as a research tool.

Sadly, there are many other people who not only don’t know how to use Google, but who will actually send money to these desperate (probably Nigerian) fools.

They are offering %45 of the total amount. I should ask them to deposit 1000 dollars into my account first, for them to receive a higher percentage..

Though, instead, I`ll probably just send them an email saying what pathetic human beings they are..

The scheme survives: Like Nat, my Spanish deceased “relative” with the same last name has 6.1 million Euro’s in danger of being lost to the Government unless I pose as a relative and split the proceeds. The law firm (and Barrister) in this case is MURPHY HALL & ASSOCIADOS C/Benet Mercade, 19 08012 Barcelona. It would be nice to receive such a windfall but the appropriate response in Australia is, “I may have long ears, but I’m not a rabbit!”

I too rceived a letter from Luz Corazon and associates to mu home address in Australia. The letter was obviously a fraud because they address the letter to my wife who has inherited my surname through marriage. Furthermore, the letterhead was unprofessionally printed and the envelope had a Portugese stamp on it. Luz corazon literally translates to light heart which far is from the truth. Our hope is that those targeted find this site before they are deceived.
