This just popped up in my Skype chat. This is a first — instant message spam with a twist on the usual 419 Scam — instead of money stuck in Nigeria this is about tsunami victims and the added novelty of customizing the name of the deceased with my last name.

My proposition to you is to seek your consent to present you as my late clients next of kin and beneficiary of the funds, since you have the same last name, so that the proceeds of this account can be paid to you in your country. Then we can share the amount on a mutually agreed percentage.
All legal documents to back up this claim as my real late client’s next-of-kin will be provided. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this transaction through and transparency during process.

Yeah, I get those. Lately I’ve also been getting marriage offers from supposedly young & lovely Chinese women. But we’re downsizing in that department…
Is there a form template for these? Your version, having your name and long lost relative name, is much cooler than the one I blogged late last year.

Guess he doesn’t have spellcheck huh?
How’s Skype working for you? I’m considering setting it up so my parents can video chat with the nephew live and in person.
That’s very disappointing. I use Skype a lot (the beta video version) to stay in touch with family in Europe and South America (in fact, my wife is now in Colombia for 10 days and the girls and I see her every night using Skype … remarkable stuff). I’ve gotten these emails but never in Skype. Guess it’s always just a matter of time.
So sorry for your loss, David. Were you and Clifford close? did he also race Cotuit skiffs? I imangine his demise must have taken you by surprise.
Perhaps you should book a flight to Nigeria or Borneo now to make sure his effects and estate are protected.
Do you know if he had a copy of XyWrite 2.0? if he did i’d like to buy it from the estate.
The Humboldts are squirting up nright now at the mouth of the LA Jolla trench north of Mission Bay. big ones coming up, running about 12-15 pounds.
I understand you must be bereft over the loss of your kinsman. Do you know if he had ownership in the Imelda Marcos’ shoe collection?
Sorry for your loss,
jim

Same here, looks like “Alfred” has many identities! Another scam.
And Mr Benson has a large collection of email addresses as well.
Here’s the latest. I just received it a couple hours ago:
Dear *Name Removed*,
I am Barrister Kahar Rizal, a legal practitioner in Malaysia with many years of practice.I was an attorney to a deceased client of mine who died in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia of pulmonary infection in 2001. My reason of sending you this email is to help secure the funds left behind by my client before it’ll be declared unserviceable by the bank where this fund valued at $5.7 million dollars was deposited.
Since you do have the same last name with my late client, I would want to present you as the legitimate beneficiary with all legal documents required to back the claim up. The holding bank has issued me a notice to contact the next of kin, or the account will be confiscated. And so far, all my efforts to get hold of someone related to this man has proved abortive.
This is my proposal; I am asking for your consent to present you to the bank as the next-of-kin and beneficiary of my late client. Since you have the same last name, so that the proceeds of this account shall be transferred to you. Then we shall share the amount on a mutually agreed-upon percentage. I do have a good standing in Malaysia, it is my assurance that this transaction will be successful and that I will make sure that the transaction is done within the applicable laws to guarantee full legitimacy.
All legal documents to back up your claim as my client’s next-of-kin will be provided by me from the high court. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this transaction through. And it will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of law.
However, if this business proposition offends your moral values, do accept my apology. Please contact me at once to indicate your interest. Do understand that this transaction do require utmost confidence and you should keep this mail to yourself not withstanding if you are rejecting the transaction or accepting it.
Note that I reserve the right to reject your acceptance of this proposal if I have reasons to believe that you may not be honest or discreet as it concerns this proposal.
Further details will be giving as soon as your interest is indicated.

Hey guys (esp Star) this is BIZARRE!!
I was googling my name up just a minute ago and saw this posting on yr blog. FYI someone’s impersonating me – they must have got my name off a legal directory in Malaysia or something. I’ve a good mind to lodge a police report about this – but u can’t really stop these kind of things happening on the web so its pretty pointless.
Anyway just to let u all know that there is a practicing lawyer in Malaysia by that name and he is a corporate lawyer with a reputable firm – nothing at all to do with wills or the deceased!
I got the letter from Clifford Benson, too (the imposter) on June 17/08, so he’s still at it!

you in person after the claim to take my share of the money so that both of
us can see face to face and see what we can do together in the near future,
Note that i will fly to your country to take my own share of the money

wanted if you could make it down to Malaysia is not much but just for us to

document from my office to back up the claim, and once that is done the
court will work on the process to verify if the claim is genuine or not and
that will take a maximum of 4 working days to conclude on their
investigation with the bank and decide if they will approve the claim or not
and once that is done then the victory will be us, once the court approve
the claim there will be no problem with the holding bank with all the
document from the court they will release the transfer to the account you

I have replied to this email just asking more details and try to see where this guy wants to go!!!!!!
Stefania
Hi guys,
I got same mail from Barrister Kahar Rizal yesterday with same case about $5.7…. 🙂 So I was curious too how far will go this guy, even I called him to claim his address and pass info to send the stuff by regisred mail via normal post service. Then same thing for no time…send by fax, etc. Unfortunately for him there are 2 cases bad :
1) I am web developer – so I found his famous glory over the net easy 🙂 Then his pass was a proud production of Adobe Photoshop;
2) I have a strong specific Bulgarian name, named on a historical town and we have quite short family tree – so we are all relatives – then no chance to have somebody I don’t (or my older relatives) know, especially if the died person comes from Norway 😀
Finnaly on the sworn affidavid form sent to me to fill, down the last sentence is:
“This affidavid form should be filled by the appropriate beneficiary and return to this court with the Oath and Stamp duty fee ($1.235.00) only.”
😀
OK, here is mine:

hey guys he now goes under Muhammad Hamza Rashid
Here’s another name to add to the list. He used a hotmail account but after several emails he provided his lawfirm and corporate email address. The man is relentless and won’t give up. Refuses to send me copy of Death Certificate until I complete the Affidavit – which is asking for Passport number and contact information. Thank you to the first person that started this site for notifying us.
It may surprise you receiving this letter from me, since there was no previous correspondence between us. My name is Mr, Barr. Lee Edward Tan, a Malaysian national and personal Attorney to Late Mr. Richard Ragaisis, who passed away on the 11th of November 2002 as a result of a deadly heart disease.
I am contacting you to assist me in securing the fund left behind by my late client, before it is confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where the funds was deposited. The total amount of funds in the account of my deceased client is US$ 8.7 Million (Eight Million, Seven Hundred Thousand United States dollars only).
The Bank has issued me a notice to contact the next of kin/beneficiary to my late client or have the account declared unserviceable. Hence, I am contacting you to seek your consent in presenting you as the next-of-kin/beneficiary to my late client, since you have the same last name. This will enable the proceeds of this account to be paid to you as the legitimate beneficiary/next of kin. Upon conclusion of this transaction, 40% of the total sum will be yours for your honest commitment and positive contributions to enhance the success of this transaction, while the remaining 60% will be mine.
All the legal documentations to back up claims as the deceased next-of-kin will be provided by me. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this transaction through. This intended transaction will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any infraction of the law.
Kindly note: If this business proposition offends your moral ethics, do accept my sincere apology, but if on the other hand you deem it fit to assist me, kindly contact me as soon as you can for further details.
Yours faithfully,
Lee Edward Tan.
I got the same offer from Muhammad Hamza Rashid as a spam.
This guy is unbelievable. Is there an agency or can we contact the email provider of these scams? I’ve had emails from him using Yahoo and Gmail. He continues to send me responses – not boiler plate – to my emails when I question the validity of his offer as though he has nothing better to do! His Photoshop passport is so amaturesk that I can’t believe there are people out there that fall for it! Thanks for getting the word out! I would not be surprised if this guy has a whole office of people doing is dirty work. They can’t spell either!
I got the same offer from Muhammad Hamza Rashid as a spam to. i said him that he must send me money fot travelling expenses to Malaysia. And he is don’t answering me.
about his passport, that i think so it’s from Photoshop.
i’m sorry for my bad english 🙂
I have had a similair email from a girl named Nennie Bensen, whos father is Dr Ray Benson to contact Aliraj Put, an attorney. There is a promise of a large sum of money to get her out of a refugee camp. I returned the email but have stopped this due to the attorney admitting a friendship with the girls family…so I wrote back that he is then logically better suited to secure her freedom than I, one would think that would be the end of it.
I sincerely hope that no one actually falls for this scam, but it is understandable if they do. These claims are clearly aimed at people who posess good natures and clear and honorable consciences’ and by definition, are aimed at those who have very little money at all.
These scammers are bottom feeders who rip of those who can least afford it. For that alone I despise them, for that alone I hope karma catches them up fast. I write this in the sincere but futile hope that they may read it.
Greetings;
Do accept my apologies if my mail does not meet your personal ethics,
I want to introduce myself and this business opportunity to you. My
name is Barrister Kahar Rizal a personal attorney to my late client. I
wish to know if we can work together.
I would like you to stand as the next of kin to my late client who
has an account valued (USD$5.7) million united states dollars,with a
bank here in Malaysia. He died without any registered next of kin and as
such the funds now have an open beneficiary mandate. The board of
directors of his Bank adopted a resolution and I was mandated to provide his
next of kin for the payment of this money Within 28 working days or
forfeit the money to the Bank as an abndoned property.
Fortunately, both of you have the same last name so it will be very
easy to make you become his official next of kin. If you are interested,
do let me know so that I can give you comprehensive details on what we
are to do.
I urgently hope to get your response as soon as possible.
Yours sincerely,
Barr. Kahar Riza

Dear:Sachin Puthukkudi,
I am Muhammad Hamza Rashid, a legal practitioner in Malaysia with many years of practice.I was an attorney to a deceased client of mine who died in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia of pulmonary infection in 2001. My reason of sending you this email is to help secure the funds left behind by my client before it’ll be declared unserviceable by the bank where this fund valued at $5.7 million dollars was deposited.
Since you do have the same surname with my late client, I would want to present you as the legitimate beneficiary with all legal documents required to back the claim up. The holding bank has issued me a notice to contact the next of kin, or the account will be confiscated. And so far, all my efforts to get hold of someone related to this man has proved abortive.
This is my proposal; I am asking for your consent to present you to the bank as the next-of-kin and beneficiary of my late client. Since you have the same last name, so that the proceeds of this account shall be transferred to you. Then we shall share the amount on a mutually agreed-upon percentage. I do have a good standing in Malaysia, it is my assurance that this transaction will be successful and that I will make sure that the transaction is done within the applicable laws to guarantee full legitimacy.
All legal documents to back up your claim as my client’s next-of-kin will be provided by me. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this transaction through. And it will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
However, if this business proposition offends your moral values, do accept my apology. Please contact me at once to indicate your interest. Do understand that this transaction do require utmost confidence and you should keep this mail to yourself not withstanding if you are rejecting the transaction or accepting it.
Note that I reserve the right to reject your acceptance of this proposal if I have reasons to believe that you may not be honest or discreet as it concerns this proposal.
Further details will be giving as soon as your interest is indicated.
Best Regards,
Barr.Muhammad Hamza Rashid.
Attorney at Law
I got a similar email. From haneefa@azmilaw.com.my and abdul.fulimahaneefa.esq@gmail.com
Dear (Name),
Greetings!
Do accept my apologies if my mail does not meet your personal ethics, I want to introduce myself and this business opportunity to you. My name is Fulim Abdul Haneefa Esq., a personal attorney to my late client. I wish to know if we can work together.
I would like you to stand as the next of kin to my late client who has an account valued 8.7million United States dollars, with a bank here in Malaysia. He died without any registered next of kin and as such the funds now have an open beneficiary mandate. The board of directors of his Bank adopted a resolution and I was mandated to provide his next of kin for the payment of this money or forfeit the money to the Bank as an abandoned property.
Fortunately, both of you have the same last name so it will be very easy to make you become his official next of kin. If you are interested, do let me know so that I can give you comprehensive details on what we are to do.
I urgently hope to get your response as soon as possible.
Yours sincerely,
Fulim A. Haneefa Esq.
This is man’ inhumanity to his fellow man. Where is the world going? We are not just animal. Where is our conscience? It has been said: trust no one. It’s a pity.
Superman, where are you? Karma, come down. Truth is: there is Divine justice.
Mabuhay PNoy.
