Victim Location 55802
Type of a scam Nigerian/Foreign Money Exchange
I received a letter that stated that his client died 7 years ago and left an unclaimed "payable on death investment deposit" of $13,300,000, and that since I share "the same last name and nationality", it would "make no sense" to let the money go unclaimed, but if i claimed it he would split it 50/50 with me.
My last name is very common, and I am not a Canadian citizen nor do I have any relatives who are.
This is absurd, because if his "client" set up such a lucrative account, why would her attorney not ensure that she named beneficiaries?
Fortunately this scam did not result in my being swindled out of any money.
