I live in Norway. I just received the "Tsunami" message! Brendon (+ my last name) and his family died in the Tsunami, 4,5 million Euro inheritance, to be shared 50/50..... . BTW, Definitly no one in my family was ever called Brandon!

This is annoying!

Sender's name and address:

I live in Norway and got letter from Acevedo Iglesias, sent from Seville, dated 11 January 2013.

Funny thing is, it's actually sent to my mother's address and I lived there as a child, but not anymore. But the letter also uses my married name, which I never used when I lived at home. Really wonder how they managed that combination.

Looks like they are doing a big bombardment of Norway at the moment. With all the posts on this site, imagine how many letters there must be! Only a small fraction of recipients would post here.

Hello!

Im from Sweden. I just received a letter from Spain. The stamp said Valencia. But the law firm was in Barcelona.

A relative has died in Burma. A victim of Cyclone Nargis in 2008.

He deposited a consignment containing a huge sum of 8.7 million dollars.

I was really happy for about two seconds. Now back to my simple life.

Peace!

Hello,

I am living in Denmark, and I just recieved a letter from "Barrister Robert Huber" of "Chron Abogados" because I share a last name with a dead man in Spain. There are 8.7 million US Dollars to be collected.
The law firm is located in Barcelona, but the letter stamp is from Valencia. And the "Barrister" uses his private yahoo mail adress. I mean, come on!

From Canada Received letter from scammer who posed as lawyer willing to split funds belonging to someone with same last name. Letterhead reads RAFAEL BERDAGUER ABOGADOS, ATTORNEY: RAFAEL BERDAGUER BARDADILLO.

Sent contact email to scammers private email address rafaelbb.esq@gmail.com to see what their response would be. They send private phone number 0034063102370511 requesting we contact them by phone. Didn't of course. Did send email to a RAFAEL BERDAGUER BARDADILLO's website asking if they were the lawyer handling this estate but never got email response. Maybe website is part of the scam....don't know.

Turning info over to local authorities as well.
