Dear Friend,

I am Mr. Leon Jones, I work as the Fund Executive Manager with
Fidelity Investment UK, the world leading Investment & Fund Management
Institution based in UK/Channel Island.I have an investor under my
portfolio with a closing balance of £ 25.745,000.00 as his first
initial deposit.

This investor died Nine years ago leaving no WILL or AUTHORIZATION for
Re- transfer of his investment and its proceeds to the INHERITOR. I
have personally carried out an investigation on the subject matter
that took me 12 months to finalize and was made to understand that the
family or relatives of the investor knows nothing about his investment
with fidelity and none have any records of all his deposits and
investment with us, there by creating an avenue for claiming of the
said funds with its accrued interest on presentation of a trustworthy
person that can stand as the INHERITOR to the deceased.

If you are  interested i can present you as the INHERITOR with proper
documentation that will qualify you to have the funds claimed and on
doing this,our establishment will not question the release of the
funds to you as i will make sure that we comply with the banking laws
and ethics of claiming the investment in our establishment.

Our sharing ratio will be 50%/50%. Please contact me for more details
if interested.

Looking forward to hearing from you shortly.

Sincerely.

Mr. Leon  Jones.

Operations, Maintenance and Transportation officer.
Miami International Airport 2100 NW 42nd Ave, Miami,
FL 33126, United States
INSPECTION UNIT
Call +1) 561-693-6516


Attention beneficiary,
                                                                   
I have a substantial information to give you, but before I give you any detail about this classified information, I must seek your utmost discretion about these vital information that's gonna change our lives forever. Any mistake might cost me my job therefore I need to know if i can trust you enough in order for me to reveal this secret to you.
 
My name is Ronald MacLeod, i am the Operations, Maintenance and Transportation officer here at the Miami International Airport FL, USA. Last week Tuesday, as i was making my usual routine check at the Airport Storage Vault, I discovered an abandoned shipment from London and when scanned it revealed an undisclosed sum of money in a Metal Trunk Box weighing approximately 110kg With Registration RBT-45C. The consignment was abandoned because the Contents of the consignment was not properly declared by the consignee as "MONEY" rather it was declared as personal effect to avoid interrogation and also the inability of the diplomat to pay for the United States Non Inspection Charges which is $3,700USD. On my assumption the consignment is still left in our Storage House here at the Miami International Airport Miami Florida till date. The details of the consignment including your name, your email address and the official documents from the United Nations office in Geneva are tagged on the Trunk box.

However, to enable me confirm if you are the actual recipient of this consignment as the assistant director of the Inspection Unit, I will advise you provide your current Phone Number and Full Address, to enable me cross check if it corresponds with the address on the official documents including the name of nearest Airport around your city. Please note that this consignment is supposed to have been returned to the United States Treasury Department as unclaimed delivery due to the delays in concluding the clearance processes so as a result of this, I will not be able to receive your details on my official email account. So in order words to enable me cross check your details, I will advise you send the required details to my private email address for quick processing and response. Once I confirm you as the actual recipient of the trunk box, I can get everything concluded within 48hours upon your acceptance and proceed to your address for delivery.

Lastly, be informed that the reason I have taken it upon myself to contact you personally about this abandoned consignment is because I want us to transact this business and share the money 70% for you and 30% for me since the consignment has not yet been returned to the United States Treasury Department after being abandoned by the diplomat so immediately the confirmation is made, I will go ahead and pay for the United States Non Inspection Fee of $3,700 dollars and arrange for the box to be delivered to your doorstep Or I can bring it by myself to avoid any more trouble but you have to assure me of my 30% share.

I wait to hear from you urgently if you are still alive and I will appreciate if we can keep this deal confidential. Please get back to me via my private Emai ( rnldmacleod@gmail.com ) for further directives

Warmest Regards,
Chief Inspection Officer
Agent MacLeod

@ Pondus,
You must be getting older. You're starting to repeat yourself.

Sometimes you're a Winner or Looser without entering


It's nice to know that this scammer is at least practicing safe hex and uses Avast to keep you safe.
The email itself is safe. (It doesn't contain anything that can infect your system.)
Replying to this scam is dangerous and could result in Identity Theft.
Supplying the requested information will make the Cyber crook a winner and you a looser.

I thought Bill Gates had retired

Apparently he's still busy trying to give away Millions. I'd be happy to share.

The problem is when you have billions it is hard to give it away as the interest on the remaining balance is likely to cover the donations (plus any tax refund on charitable donations, etc.).

This is a problem I would like to have, I'm sure I could make a dent in it

I didn't get an email but a few minutes ago I noticed I had a voice mail.  It was  lady who said she was from the IRS.  She said if we didn't pay our taxes charges would be filed against us. We filed our taxes and have gotten a refund on Federal and State.  Some people might fall for this and answer the questions.  Of course I deleted the voice mail.

Good for you.

IRS will never contact you by any other means than snail mail.  What that means you will never get:

• a visit from an agent at your door without prior notice via snail mail
• telephone calls such as the one you've described
• contact you via email [SPAM] electronic mail

Additionally, you could've reported the number used to call you to the authorities: 
https://www.irs.gov/privacy-disclosure/report-phishing
https://www.treasury.gov/tigta/contact_report_scam.shtml
https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/scam-phone-calls-continue-irs-identifies-five-easy-ways-to-spot-suspicious-calls

The threat of financial damage is real and is of a very real consequence to every victim that is taken in by this scam, so reporting all instances is a must, imo. 

It's the best way to help.

Hi, stranger!

I hacked your device, because I sent you this message from your account.
If you have already changed your password, my malware will be intercepts it every time.

You may not know me, and you are most likely wondering why you are receiving this email, right?
In fact, I posted a malicious program on adults (pornography) of some websites, and you know that you visited these websites to enjoy
(you know what I mean).

While you were watching video clips,
my trojan started working as a RDP (remote desktop) with a keylogger that gave me access to your screen as well as a webcam.

Immediately after this, my program gathered all your contacts from messenger, social networks, and also by e-mail.

What I've done?
I made a double screen video.
The first part shows the video you watched (you have good taste, yes ... but strange for me and other normal people),
and the second part shows the recording of your webcam.

What should you do?

Well, I think $550 (USD dollars) is a fair price for our little secret.
You will make a bitcoin payment (if you don't know, look for "how to buy bitcoins" on Google).

BTC Address: 19aT6f2hkZ8AGDYhFAdYtVYRj7kFhLBuVV
(This is CASE sensitive, please copy and paste it)

Remarks:
You have 2 days (48 hours) to pay. (I have a special code, and at the moment I know that you have read this email).

If I don't get bitcoins, I will send your video to all your contacts, including family members, colleagues, etc.
However, if I am paid, I will immediately destroy the video, and my trojan will be destruct someself.

If you want to get proof, answer "Yes!" and resend this letter to youself.
And I will definitely send your video to your any 19 contacts.

This is a non-negotiable offer, so please do not waste my personal and other people's time by replying to this email.

Bye!

Hi!

I know that: oktober - is your password!

Also as you may have noticed, I sent this email from your email account (if you didn't see, check the from Sender email ID.)

I infected you with my private malware, RAT, (Remote Administration Tool) some time ago.

The malware gave me full access and control over your computer, meaning, I got access to all your accounts and I can see everything on your screen, even turn on your camera or microphone and you won't even notice about it.

I made a video showing both you (through your webcam) and the video you were watching (on the screen) while statisfying yourself!

I can send this video to all your contacts (email, social network)!

I can publish absolutly everything I found on your computer!

You can prevent me from doing this!

To stop me, transfer exactly 900$ with the current bitcoin (BTC) price to my bitcoin address.
If you don't know how to get bitcoin, Google - "How to buy Bitcoin".
The wallet you can create here: www.login.blockchain.com/en/#/signup/

My bitcoin adress is: 1Q9QmbRyHu89jWKwVXgkvTMNDuEags5kdq

After receiving the payment, I will delete the video, and we will forget everything.
I give you 4 days to get the bitcoins.
Since I already have access to your computer, I know when you read this email.
Don't share this email with anyone, this should stay our little secret!
