Below is a copy of an email I got from some kind of fraudster. It appears that he found my name on the net and came up with a luring story to entice me into some kind of scam. Be careful with who you deal with on the net especially when dealing with confidential genealogy matters. I try to only publish information on deceased, but that is enough to give these tricksters an angle or enough information to figure you out. My father has also received similar mails from possibly the same people. This man below has gotten hold of my telephone number and has made two calls at 1 in the morning from Africa. He sounds just as scammy as his email. Has anybody else received similar mails? Copy of mail. Dated Oct 10. Dear Peter McEntyre I am Ray Morgan, a consultant to. Mr.-Jeffery-McEntyre, a nationality of your country,who lived in here in Dubai U.A.E. On the 30th of june 2002, he was involved in a car accident along Dubai - Sharjah Highway. All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost there lives as they are on a weekend outing to a nearby city. I have contacted you to assist in repatriating his money and property left behind before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Finance Company where this huge deposits was lodged.Particularly, the deceased had an Amount at about 14.9 million dollars, After notification of the death of the deceased to the Finance Company they has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the Funds confisicated within the next 45 days . Since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the relatives all this while till now,that's why I seek your consent to purporting you as the next of kin of the deceased since you have the same last name so that the proceeds of this Amount valued at 14.9 million dollars can be paid to you as the bonafide approved Next of Kin by the Finance Company. If you agree we can discuss the percentage you will have as compensation on your involvement.I have all necessary papers that can be used to back up the facts and claim on the Fund Release. All I require is your honest, cooperation and Sincerity to enable us see this deal go through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. Awaiting your response. I'm out of the City on a business trip and will be back as soon as you confirm your interest on this.I will notify you on the next step as soon as we agree on the sharing partain as per percentage.
