Allied Irish Bank Inheritance Notification

January 15th, 2009 Rusty Leave a comment Go to comments

I received this email today notifying me of an inheritance of a German Woman I am due to receive.  I can’t believe that people fall for these but they do or these guys wouldn’t still be trying this.  I have seen firsthand as well people reading their email and not delete these because they think that maybe it just might be real and they might want to respond at a later time to see.  These things are a scam and common sense should tell you so.

 

“From:Mr.James Cheong,
Allied Irish Bank(GB)
Leicester Office,United Kingdom.
Email:jcheong444@googlemail.com

    I highly recommend anyone that receives any email that describes any lottery, inheritance, or investment to you be forwarded to the U.S. federal government at http://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx. The more people that inform the government, the better chance the government has of tracking these guys down. Also, do not trust any FBI emails either, for they are also part of scams. The U.S. government would never contact you with e-mail, they would sent an actual postmarked letter. Please, try to help and fight this cause, every little bit helps. Including educating others. Usually its the older generation, not familiar with technology that fall victim to these scams.

    my partner has also received a near identical e-mail from Mr Patrick Lee Xiang ‘leeexiang@hotmail.com’ also from the AIB Leicester UK, with the same German Lady,(Margaret Eich) & the same amount, GBP9.7million, & Affidavits from Sagmeister Wilhelm (Esq), it all looks so official, but to find the same claims on this site (repeated how many times?), can someone please set up some kind of sting to nab them or get a Hacker to track them!

    i also get such mails in large numbers and one of my folder has a collection of several scores of suc lottery winning /overdue payment inheritance fund mails.

    Although, I discern with my limited ability but have replied to several such mail senders by saying that I may not be a begger but truely very poor man so most do not ask for advance upfront payment from me.

    i feel this is the work of hackers who in league with high profile bankers might truely be involved in money laundering to save taxes by resorting to non descript modes of cheating business.

    Best one can do is to use thier descretion but it is understandable if one truely in bad need of money falls a victim to these guys !

    What is important today is to have a Global Economic Sytem of abundannce to every global citizen and a sytem in place that can reduce gnawing disparities in the level of income.

    i hope soon we shall have such a system to the cheers of all hapless members of civil society and then such hoodlums, cheats, hackers and fraudulent gangs will be out of business automatically !

    i received exact email from mr Li Cheong with another alias name Jonathan Cheong. Wordings are the same. They even made it almost real like attaching certificates of deposi, will certificate, beneficiary certificate entitlement, lawyer, using Allied Irish Bank Leicester Branch In Uk, Equatorial Merchant Bank as their agent for transferring fund. They will try to get your identification copy such as driver’s license or passport.
    people need to be careful with these heartless scammers taking your time to disrupt your normal time.
    Never furnish them any identification card for their own needs. They are all mean nothing but a scrappy old junk emails who couldn’t do nothing but cheaters, liers, ruthless and foolish gangsster in the internet.
