Dear friend,

I am Donald Wilson (a lawyer), my purpose of contacting you is for your consent
and/or help to secure and evacuate the funds left behind by my late client to avoid
its confiscation or declaration as none serviceable by the bank. The fund is valued
at $9,500,000.00. I know you may not actually be in anyway related to him (my late
client) but for sharing the same surname with him makes it easier to get the funds
to your name and/or have it moved to your account for your access, our joint
division and utility. Get back to me for more details through my email:
wilsondonald654@yahoo.com

Regards,

Hon. Barrister D. Wilson

My email service gave me a message at the top: This sender failed our fraud detection checks and may not be who they appear to be.

I dunno....

Seems legit. All lawyers use Yahoo mail.

[DemonGeminiX]

Definitely.

I just e-mailed him, if you don't want it, I'll take it. Sucker

If he's not a Nigerian Prince, it's probably not legit.


I don't get many spam texts on my phone, but a recent one is - Your RBC bank account has been compromised, please respond to this to reassign pin number etc.



Bullshit detector goes off because I don't bank there...ever

Any barrister who signs his name with honourable at the front must be a fraud. Kinda like Honest John's used cars. Suuuuure.

I thought this thread was a Tom Petty one..."I don't know, but I've been told, you never slow down, you never grow old...."

[PorkChopSandwiches]

You really should email back and keep posting the conversation....just lead him on

I've had a few of those guys email and call me. "We're contacting you in regards to your bank account." "What bank account?" "Your bank account?" "Which bank do I have an account with?" "Uh... uh.... uh..." "Yeah, whatever... fuck off." *click*

Warren Buffett's son, who incidentally, will not be seeing a single red penny of his father's money. None of Warren's kids will.
