I just received a letter from Evans Norman Esq. , also what should I do about it?
Posted by: Janine Marie Palma VanDenBerg | Jan 16, 2007 11:38:45 AM
I received this this morning and was wondering, it IS a scam, right? Can anybody help me with this?
Dear Andy Hobbs,
Good morning. This email serves as an acknowledgment to the receipt of your last email transmittal. As you may know, it is quite common for people to leave estates for other here in the United Kingdom because the government doesn’t allow the accumulation of great wealth. It is not surprising that you were made a beneficiary to the estate of my late client Henry Cox. You may have been recommended to him by someone that wished you good. You must not know someone before you become a beneficiary ho his estate. As the executor to this estate, I am obliged to guide you from the start to the end of this transaction.
As you may know, we are to pass through a streamlined probate process to bring this transaction to a successful conclusion. Before we proceed, we have to reconfirm your details at the Judiciary of Great Britain. This essence of this reconfirmation is to avoid misdirecting the bequest fund. You are advised to reconfirm the following details of yours:
Full Name:
Address:
Phone/fax:
Marital Status:
Occupation:
With these, the reconfirmation will be done and if you are confirmed to be the absolute beneficiary to the estate, you will be contacted officially for the onward processing if this inheritance fund. I would like you to adhere to this instruction. As we proceed, everything will be clearer to you. Respond at your earliest convenience.
Regards,
Evans Norman Esq.
Senior Advocate, London .

I got the same thing but from Evans Norman and Richard Rice....on the same day Jan. 15th, 2007 with the same misspelling in each e-mail. Both saying I was Henry Cox's heir. They even send a death certificate and a copy of the Bank note, which I could have made on my computer with clip art.
Posted by: Betty jo Baca | Jan 18, 2007 10:41:07 AM
I got the same letter and played with him for a couple of days. He finally sent me a death Cert. and a Note from the Bank with the amount deposited in the Bank. I could have made better ones on my computer.....
So I challenged him. The date on the Death Cert. and the ones he had been quoting were different.
Plus...I had gotten the same e-mail from a Richard Rice on Jan. 15. almost the same e-mail to the misspelling in the amount. I asked Evans if he knew Richard Rice.
I have not heard from Evans again.

Where is the legal system that we so dearly believe in. To let persons continue such actions only strengthens the belief that the legal system only helps those who have money and wish to keep it, and that legally unless you have money you cannot punish people who author such crap. While others who do not have it try like the dickens to get it from others. Does this prove that $$$$ is the root of all evils?

My 80 year old father received the exact same email that Ray Gibson (Feb. 20th) mentioned above. Ronald Baker Esq. was informing him that he is beneficiary of the late Engr. Lurther Schultz. Unfortunately my father sent this scam artist a copy of his driver license and passport before I could stop him. I am wondering if this con artist is just after the money or is this an identity theft attempt? I have issued a fraud alert on my dad's SS# with the 3 major credit reporting agencies, but what else do I need to do to prevent this scammer from harming my father?

Hey, i just recieved two different e-mails that involves tons of money.
One of these mails involves the Barr. Richard Baker ESQ, whom you guys already know.
The second mail was from another person, whom i deleted when i played around with them. He is now requesting me to send 150 dollars for him to mail a stupid check to me, which is stupid to begin with. Furthermore, a check is just a piece of paper how much f--ing insurance do you need?
I think these things with a lot of money involved are all scams, because they want you to send information to them so they can take your id for use.
Posted by: SoulProphet | Apr 25, 2007 5:47:31 AM
i just recieved the same letter about luther schultz leaving me as the beneficary . He's still trying to get people to bite. How can someone be so cruel. Especially to those that really could use the money, for you see i just found out i have cancer and can't afford the treatments. Just how much do these guys expect from us. Can't even pay our own bills let alone send money to someone to settle a will that's probably fake.
Posted by: Deborah S Jordan | May 3, 2007 8:54:22 PM
Same scam [email protected] about late Engr Luther Schultz's. It is bad when you really need the money. Why can't they be stopped. The bank is Standard Cartered Investment England with Mr William Lake as director of operations. I have actually been playing around with them for a week giving them the run around without giving them anything but my name and address which they already had somehow. It has been funny. I still haven't said I know so I just want to see what they say next. I have been printing out every e-mail and saving them also if anyone is interested.
