Huijauskirje lupailee miljoonaperintöä

(9.12.2010 / Ajassa Nyt / Kari Laurila)  Liikkeellä on uudentyyppinen (tai kaava on oikeastaan vanha)  "nigerialaiskirje".  Sain tavallisena lentopostina kirjeen lontoolaiselta lakiasiaintoimistolta.  Sillä on omat verkkosivut, puhelin, sähköposti (hotmail -tyyppinen), telefax ja postiosoite.  Kirjeessä, jossa on jopa oikea postimerkki, kerrotaan edesmenneestä Mr. Peter Laurilasta, jonka jäljelle jäänyttä 9,8 miljoonan punnan pankkitiliä hoitaa asiainhoitaja Hillary Hargos.

Tämä mr. Peter Laurila on muka kuollut auto-onnettomuudessa vaimonsa ja lastensa kanssa vuonna 2002 ja hän on isänsä ainoa poika, joten hänellä ei ole lähisukulaisia; perillisiä.  Hän on Hargosin mukaan määrännyt testamentissaan, että tällaisessa tilanteessa hänen jäljelle jäänyt omaisuutensa voidaan osoittaa kenelle tahansa Laurila -nimiselle henkilölle, jonka Hargos hyväksyy.

Lähetin hänelle sähköpostia yrittääkseni udella aiheesta enemmän.  Alla saamani sähköpostivastaus.

Mielestäni jos jokin asia näyttää liian hyvältä ollakseen totta, se todennäköisesti ei ole sitä. 

Uskon, että vastaavia huijausyrityksiä on tehty muillekin.  Seuraava vaihe on todennäköisimmin (mikäli tämä noudattaa nigerialaiskaavaa) se, että Hargos tarvitsee minulta rahaa joihinkin järjestelyihin voidakseen toimittaa osan perinnöstä minulle.  Vastasin hänelle nimittäin eilen lähettämässäni sähköpostissa, että jos näin on, on parasta unohtaa koko juttu.

Tämän jälkeen minuun ei enää ole yritetty ottaa yhteyttä.

Koska kirje ja tarina voi jonkun mielestä olla jopa uskottava, julkaisen tiedusteluuni saamani sähköpostin alla sellaisenaan.  Koska viranomaiset ovat varoittaneet pitämästä suoraan yhteyttä näihin rikollisiin (tai yhteydenpito voi olla jopa vaarallista), olen poistanut osan yhteystiedoista.

Attn : Kari Laurila, (CONFIDENTIAL).

Dear  Kari Laurila,

Thanks for your prompt response to my letter though you are still undecided if to assist me and prevent the plans of the top company directors from materializing hence will suggest that you call me at your earliest convenience on 44 2070609XXX. My prior mail to you was written as a matter of last resort because of the circumstances surrounding this claim and I know you will be wondering what the plans of the directors are but I want you to hold on while I give you the details on why I contacted you and also why this has to be kept very confidential. I contacted you because after the death of my late client, I was informed by the finance company to search for any member of his extended family to put up a claim, or who could be so represented as managers or trustees for his deposited funds with them which stands at over £9.8million British Pounds Sterling and due to the fact that he died with his immediate family members.
 
Peter was an oil merchant and he had oil dealings around Europe and Africa and he died in 2002 at 55 alongside his wife and children. He lived most of his years here in the U.K but travelled often and I served as his private attorney for the last couple of years before his death. After preliminary efforts of search which came to no avail, we were given an ultimatum at the beginning of the New Year to look for someone to come for the claim or have the funds liquidated and made unserviceable in accordance with existing laws because itwill be assumed that no member of his family is alive. However, it might interest you to know that, after a thorough investigation in the finance company, I found out that some members of the company are currently planning to divert this fund for their selfish interest and only want to use the excuse that since I am not able to look for someone to make the claim, the money should be made unserviceable and that means reverting the fund to the Government while the company retains a percentage of it which is not true as they are the people trying to divert it and not the government as they are making it look like.

After unraveling their plans and professional consideration on my part, I decided to look for someone credible, with the same last name with my late client, to apply for this claim due to the fact that before Peter died,he left behind an instruction stating that his parents told him that everybody with that last name has got the same ancestral origin and the fund should be released to any body with that last name but the person must be certified and approved by me and I have at my possession some legal documents which are very important and which might be requested by them and which can only be provided by my chambers since they have since being with us.Note that Peter made this instruction should in case of any unforeseen circumstances such as this being that he was an only child of his parents  and  I feel and know that you will be able to make this claim SUCCESSFULLY because of your   last name which is the same as that of my late client’s. I want you to be rest assured that this is legal with no risk involved, since all the legal documents that gives you the right to make the claim is available.
 
This is a deal I am offering you and I want you to know that it requires only a matured mind to understand all I am saying and I believe you are matured enough which is the reason I am going further. I am taking my time to explain all these to you now because I want you to see the reasons why this transaction has to be kept really confidential in order for us to be able to achieve our goals neatly.   Be informed that after a second thought, I will get 45% with 45% going to you and 10% will be shared between us for any expenses incurred during the course of the transaction   after taxes have been removed and that should be done in your country when the funds enters your account. I want you to know that I have these documents to show to you as proof but I cannot release them for your perusal now due to security reasons until I have attained your confidence.

  I will provide you with any information you need as we proceed, bearing in mind that you have finally made up your mind to proceed for I do not want to jeopardize the success of this transaction which means so much to me at the moment.My private telephone number is 44 2070609XXX making it possible for you to call me as it is very important we discuss. Finally, you will have to accent to an express agreement I shall forward to you which is to bind us, especially after the transfer hence your urgent response is required.

Hillary Hargos,

Attorney At law
