I have read a lot here about scams from supposedly legitimate Spanish law firms.

I have just received a letter from Batalla Abogados Madrid c/-Claudio Coello, 10 - 3°F 28001 Madrid Spain. Telephone +34-652-278-321, Fax +34-917-903-835 email barristerbatalla@aol.com

The clowns can't even get the value in numerals correct. To quote them "$9.500,000,000.00 (Nine Million, Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars)"

My 'relative' is said to have passed away with 'her' wife in a Fatal Car Accident on the 16th April 2010.

I am a genealogist and have done extensive research of my family so I know I do not have even a most distant relative of the name quoted. In any event the way the proposal is presented has to be highly illegal if it was not a scam. 20% to charity and 80% split between the writer and myself and they will do all the legal work to present me to the as 'my client's Next of Kin....'

The sad part is that some folk fall for these scams and end up forking out huge amounts of money.
