This guy wanted $15000.00 AUD in cash , personally delivered by me when I was to go and sign documents in Spain , Bank Transfer , Visa , or other legitimate forms of payment were unacceptable

I then forwarded all details and letters , phone numbers and emails to the Chief of Police in Madrid , Spain , in the hope that that at least one of these scammers would be caught and put out of business

The promise of a half share in $22 mil sounds nice , but I wonder how many people actually lost thousands of their own money and made the trip to spain , or if they did go are they still alive today to tell the story , have some of them dissapeared ???

I would like to hear from anyone who has actually followed through with the trip to spain to collect the fake inheritance , and what they experienced

I never heard either way if the Police did anything with the information I sent them , or if in fact this guy was ever caught , when was the last activity from ” david L thomson ” that anyone experienced ??

Thanks for reading

Dear Sir,
I’m ….. and maybe related to a deceased client of yours who was a victim of an accident in 2005. Mr Frederick Martins Philippe, date of birth May 21st 1947, last address as: 17 Aveneda de Barcelona, Las Matas (LOL) Madrid Spain. It is also my knowledge that my possible relative has an unclaimed deposit of $22,000,000 (Twenty two million USA Dollar)
As a possible relation, My solicitor Barrister David Wilson is in possession of every document you might require including the Power of Appointment which empowers me to make this application as heir/beneficiary and next of kin of the deceased.
Please accept this late application as it was due to family logistic problems consequent upon his funera rights.
Thanks in anticipation of your cooperative response.
(here, my name) + my fax number.

I intend to go on, as I want to give the French police the maximum of information. I will let you know what happens…!

AVERTISSEMENT aux internautes francais
Une vaste escroquerie, qui a touché les US, l’Australie, l’Irlande, l’Allemagne etc…comme la liste ci-dessus vous l’a montré atteint maintenant la France.
Il s’agit de vous faire “hériter” de 22 millions de dollars, qui seraienr en déshérence en Espagne, déposé par un riche client décédé sans testament et qui porterait le même nom que vous (mais ce nom n’est pas précisé!). Cette lettre arrive par courrier, postée à Madrid, et semble officielle -Johnson & Associates S.A, ou Johnson & Lawyers Espana. Ell est en anglais, on vous demande de la faire traduire par une personne de confiance, et vous devez prendre contact par fax ou par mail avec un David Wilson(dwil5858@yahoo.es ou davjw58@gmail.com – des adresses très professionnelles !!!) Il vous donne aussi un n° de tél. Attention, il existe un site web Johnson & Lawyers, mais complètement bidon où ce nom apparait comme celui du fils du fondateur.
Si vous répondez, il vous demandera de signer et renvoyer une “promissory note” (un billet à ordre) par lequel vous acceptez de lui reverser 50% des 22 patates!
Pour l’instant, je continue à entretenir la relation pour voir à quel moment il va me demander des sous! et quand mon dossier sera le plus avancé possible, je vais aller direct déposer tout ça au tribunal avec une plainte en bonne et due forme.
Surtout, ne croyez pas un mot de cette histoire, c’est encore un estampage à la nigériane et destiné à faire payer les gogos! Lisez ce qu’en dit, du moins de vue légal et international Phil de Melbourne ci-dessus (ou ci-dessous, peut-être) Il dit aussi que bien des gens y ont perdu des sommes monstrueuses.
SURTOUT, BE AWARE!!!

His line is exactly the same and his tel No is 00 34 20772204 or 00 34 690376654

The ‘Company website’ looks real but the story is exactly thre same, even down to the deceased’s name – Frederick.

I wonder if Interpol or someone could close the guy down, any ideas.

1)My last name is never listed
2) Spelling mistakes
3) I worked at a law office
4) He does not even know the name of his own company he writes Johnson and Lawyers and Johnson and Associates

I could probably come up with another 100 or so mistakes. However what really gave it away was the first word. Anytime someone tells you, you have won money you have not.

Besides even if you guys are stupid enough to full for it and I know some of you above did and god bless your stupid brains. However how the hell do you pay this dude money to make money.

Are you seriously braindead? I mean fall for the scam and all thats one thing but why would anyone need to pay money if your inheriting money. That does not make any sense.

Besides the fact its a clear fraud. Though its not like I feel great for finding this out i feel bad for all of you trumpeting around here like wow I am so smart I cracked the code. What code you should feel stupid for not being able to.

first merry xmas to you all (except davy of course)

if you read thru the whole list you will see that i was in the chain about june.
he sees to be still at it- why? he must be dumb as i did point out that this website exists and that he is known to be a crook.

anyway, perhaps he just likes to have emails from people?

our police (australia) is too busy to worry about this idiot so…

perhaps just bombard him with emails-not using your real email of course- eventually he might give up?

cheers

THE LETTER HAS REACHED GREECE!!!
I received almost the same letter from Spain from David Wilson this time. I e-mailed him back and he sent me the same reply i saw above. I am embarrassed to say i believed it for a few seconds as i have deceased relatives in Spain! What a coincidence!
Does anyone know if we are exposed to viruses since he has our e-mail?

This con (by these crooks) has been circulating for over a year now and plenty have fallen victim to it – many even travelling to Spain and meeting the non spanish speaking african conman and his co horts to view the inheritance. And they have viewed a case which contains what appears to be US dollars (no one questioned why a spanish relative they never knew about stored $22,000,000 in US dollars in a tin box) – or why no one spoke spanish, or why the spanish law firm was full of africans?

These criminals have obtained your details by legally purchasing Equity lists and other such mail out marketing lists from companies all around the world. You lost your identity when you filled out a ‘free entry’ raffle book at a local supermarket, or on line etc.. NOTHING IS FOR FREE.

Mr LOPEZ, THOMPSON, JOHNSON, DORKRY, BECHTLE (and the various other incarnations) has sent the identical paperwork out for all of these scams (with the inherent spelling mistakes) but changes the names of the ‘deceased’ to fit in with your own identity.

They have created what appears to be websites (thompson and associates, Johnson and Lawyers, David Lopez and associates, Equity Law firm) but those more computer literate than me advise me these are flash pages – not websites?

And all email addresses are at Gmail or Yahoo, or live. I still laugh out loud that anyone would believe that the spanish government can be contacted at Yahoo.com

Although african nationals they have based themselves in Spain to exploit the actual spanish inheritance laws there which do place the burdon of taxes and fees upon the beneficiary (in actual inheritances)

Your local police can do little more than forward everything via interpol to the spanish authorities. BUT insist that they do this. Spain needs to clean up their act and stop these crooks. If you contact the spanish authorities directly they will advise you to report it to your local police anyway.

My sympathies to those that have lost money to this scam, but you can consider it like a world vision sponsorship – except the starving african kiddy is infact a fat african con man – and you cant claim your donation as a tax deduction.
