Type of a scam Nigerian/Foreign Money Exchange
A local business, * * * *** *** has received the same fax (3) times. It is an Inheritance Scam. There is a real Law Firm, Bidelman & Partners LLP. All the information provided in this letter is the correct information for the real law firm in Toronto, Canada. However, what is stated in the letter about inheriting close to $10 million is a scam. This scam seems to be targeting businesses, not individuals. Please read the attached fax that was received by a local business here in Cleveland, Ohio. It appears that this person who refers to themselves as Peter John Bidelman is spoofing the legitimate law firm. *** Bidelman is the principal of the real law firm, but there is no Attorney Peter John Bidelman, employed with the firm. * * * *** *** in Cleveland, OH was targeted as a business.

Claimed to be an attorney who has money for me because I share the same last name as someone who died and has unclaimed Payable-on-Death savings. The letter was sent via fax to a business number.
