Hello,
I inherited over 4 million dollars! But no, that's not true:
Here is the first message:
Hello,
I am Mr. Jonas Edeh, born on November 11, 1946, in Belgium.
I have been suffering from throat cancer for nearly a month and a half.
My attending physician has just informed me that my days are numbered due to my deteriorating health.
My marital situation is such that I have neither a wife nor
children to whom I could leave my inheritance.
That is why I would like to graciously donate this inheritance amounting to 4,000.00 US dollars for your charitable work.
I would like to have the following information: Your full name, a phone number, and if possible, the fax number. I count on your goodwill and especially on the proper use of these funds for your work.
Mr. Jonas Edeh
I told him that I would make good use of it and that I had many projects...
He sends me another message:
Hello,
I acknowledge receipt of your email and thank you.
I have decided to donate these funds to you in the hope that you will make good use of them.
I have deposited the funds in Madrid, Spain, for security reasons because I did not want a relative of mine to be aware.
Also, I do not want you to contact me by phone because I do not want a relative of mine to know about what I want to do for you.
I will give you the contact of my personal lawyer who currently holds the deposit certificate given to me after the funds were deposited.
My lawyer will help you transfer the ownership of the funds into your own name as my heir.
Here is my lawyer's contact:
Mr. Schimtz Willems.
Rue de l’Abbaye 5 6540 LOBBES.
Tel/Fax: 323458123054
Email: schimtz_willems@gawab.com
Please contact him as I have already informed him
hoping that you will make good use of the funds.
Thank you.
Jonas Edeh
I told him that the number was incorrect and that there were too many digits, and he replied
It seems that I made an error in the number
You can contact my lawyer by email
My parents are around me, I do not want them to know about this
Contact my lawyer by email; he already knows about you.
Jonas.
So I contact the lawyer by email and here is what he tells me:
Hello,
Thank you very much for your letter and the content has been noted.
I am Mr. Schimtz Willems, a private lawyer for Mr. Jonas Edeh, who is currently very ill and hospitalized in one of the hospitals in Belgium.
He told me of his interest in donating his money; I cannot oppose his will.
He has deposited the funds in Madrid, Spain, for security reasons; he told me he does not want any family members to know anything about these funds.
Before the funds are transferred to your bank, it will be necessary to charge the deposit certificate in your name as the new beneficiary, and to proceed, at this point, I will need the information listed below.
1. Your full name.
2. Your address.
3. Your phone number.
4. Your fax number
5. Your email address
6. A copy of your identity
Upon receipt of the above-mentioned information, I will make a trip to Madrid, Spain, where the funds are deposited, and submit your information to the security company for the change of ownership to your name.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Thank you,
Schimtz Willems
I did not give any news
According to my research on the internet, it seems that there is a false lawyer, but then the sick person must really exist....
Then, he asks you for money to unblock the inheritance, and it seems that a girl in the same situation as me had to receive a sum of money with a briefcase full of cash from scammers.
Have you ever experienced this kind of scam???
In any case, one thing is for sure, "I'm not rich, but what a laugh!"

Hi!
Indeed, it smells like a scam.
There are indeed lawyers on Rue de l'Abbaye in Lobbes... But no Schmitz.. And the phone number should be +32 71xxxxx
Moreover, the text is poorly written (Automatic translator..??).
The Gawab email is an African mail service!
In any case, this scam is well known, here we have a little variation... Do not send documents that they could use to mount a new scam...
The story of the trunk filled with millions of $$$ is also well known.. I have a case ongoing with Côte d'Ivoire and I am chasing the scammers at W.U...
This site is filled with similar stories!!! Consider yourself warned...

in a few years, scams like this are going to become as old as the world
Kris33, hello I just met a young lady who is studying in Côte d'Ivoire, we got to know each other on a site. Anyway, she is a European. She told me that her father left her an inheritance of 250,000 euros. She said that to unlock this amount, I need to pay the file fees of 2,600 euros. I would like to know if this is a scam or I don’t know what... she has a proof from Ecobank - CI... and it is written in red at the top of the official deposit slip. At the bottom of the slip, it says beneficiary with her first and last name, dated since 07/07/2000, especially in Côte d'Ivoire. I'm having doubts, that's all...!
Nothing surprises me because I almost got scammed myself, but after thinking logically, who would give so much money to a stranger? But he got his lesson and hasn't contacted me again, don't be naive.
Hello everyone,
Another scam!
I received a message telling me that a certain Mr. RENE SCHMITT LUCIEN, supposedly suffering from an orphan and incurable disease "esthesioneuroblastoma," wishes to bequeath me 2,500,000 euros so that I can donate it to a charity and blah blah...
Of course, after doing my research, I realized that this very strange-sounding disease is none other than the one that affected MADAME Chantal SEBIRE, the woman whose face was completely disfigured by a tumor and who wanted to be euthanized.
The message from this dear RENE SCHMITT is presented as follows:
Hello,
I am contacting you today because even though we do not know each other, that does not prevent this gesture on my part. My name is Mr. Rene Schmitt, born in France, but for particular reasons, I had to become an adventurer in search of who knows what.
The reason that drives me to you is as follows:
I would like to go through your channel to make an anonymous charitable work in your department. I was born on April 25, 1940, at the Brequigny clinic in Rennes. It is a donation in a way, and it amounts to the sum of 2.5 million euros. My marital status is such that I have neither a wife nor children to whom I could bequeath this inheritance, and I am currently suffering from a potentially fatal disease, an esthesioneuroblastoma, an orphan and incurable disease that develops in the nasal cavity and cruelly deforms the face; I am therefore condemned to certain death. That is why I would graciously like to give you this said inheritance in order to help disadvantaged children and realize this charitable work. If you agree, I would like to have the following information:
Your full name,
Your contact information;
A fax number if possible;
I count on your goodwill and also on the proper use of these funds for this work.
Mr. RENE SCHMITT
Already, the "hello" at the beginning, I found that really questionable and I sensed a bad scam. So I had fun responding to him to see what would happen, and we reached the stage where the so-called notary who is supposed to handle the transfer of the 2,500,000 euros asked me for my address, my full name, and even a photocopy of my ID!
I'm stopping here; I won't respond because, strangely, the phone number of the so-called notary remains unanswered!!
There you go; I don't know if anyone else received this message, but I won't give any information to a stranger. Hello everyone, and these pathetic scams circulating on the internet are really miserable.

I made the crazy decision to talk to this sick man on MSN, mostly out of pity. I’m older but a bit naïve, I think. I gave him my phone number, and his lawyer from the William Paul firm called me to ask for my name and address. I did that, but now I'm a bit scared because I realized that there's an unknown name and number on my phone.
I contacted him through a delayed message and blocked him on my MSN, and I also sent an email to his firm asking them to forget about me.
What do you think they can do? I haven’t given them any bank account information, and I live in Quebec.
Thank you for responding.

I received the same kind of email:
Subject: MAY GOD BLESS YOU
Hello,
Prayers and faith in the Lord are worth much more than gold, diamonds, or any other precious stones. Destiny has led me to you; not by chance, but certainly your destiny would thus be traced by the Lord and Master of the entire universe. The Lord is ready to bless you in situations where He alone can help you keep your faith.
I am Mrs. Eliane Auger, a Canadian by birth and married to the late my husband Samuel Saadarabo, a Beninese national; of glorious and blessed memory who was a consulting engineer for 9 years in the oil production and refining company Sonacop S.A.
After 7 years of marriage, he died in a work accident and since his death, I have been struggling with illnesses such as cancer and diabetes. This has led me to seek treatment in Europe from specialists.
Despite all their efforts, there has been no positive change as the tumor is in its terminal stage, and just recently, my forensic doctor told me that I would not survive the next 2 months to come.
So I have decided to return to Benin so that my soul can rest alongside that of my late husband. I fear that I will die leaving behind all my wealth, which was acquired from the inheritance of my late husband and the insurance that I had to cash in for a total value of 1.245 million US dollars, in the hands of people with bad intentions and characters as gangrenous as this cancer that is finishing me day by day.
I have chosen to donate this money to you in the hope that you will spend it on just, honest, and charitable causes such as the sick, the elderly, orphans, etc.
If you accept these conditions, please let me know so that my bank can send you all the necessary documents to make you my legatee and universal beneficiary.
The reason I made this decision is that I have no children with my husband who could inherit this money, nor do I have family, as my family rejected me for marrying a man of color (black), simply because this marriage is an outrage to the morals of these people and the charitable organizations here in Africa all have ideas of embezzlement.
Thank you for replying to: el.auger@hotmail.fr, so I can put you in touch with my lawyer.
I replied saying that I believe it is a scam but that I would contact her lawyer; here is what she replied:
Hello Dear Sister,
I pray that all is well with you and your family. Please excuse me for the delay, which is due to my very critical health condition. I write to you with sincerity at heart, and all my attention has been focused on your response, which reassured me greatly about your availability and acceptance of this donation that I have decided to grant you; hence I was very happy to write to you again and ask for your forgiveness for the delay in my response.
I am completely confident in God and I am convinced based on the reading I made of your response that you would know how to fulfill my dearest wish of these last hours; to make good use of these funds that I have personally committed to bequeath to you with all the love of God and which I ask you to keep in confidence.
If I have chosen you, it is only the work of God, and certainly, you are an honest and upright person. Before I sent you my appeal message, I stayed up at night despite my health condition praying to the merciful God that He could choose an honest person who would use my money in good circumstances.
Now that I am reassured of your willingness to be my heir in all honesty and candor, I am putting you in direct contact with my notary, so that you can contact him to legally inquire about what is due at my bank. Please give me your email address so that I can send you the copy of my deposit certificate as an attachment that you would include in your application; otherwise, it will be rejected.
Please contact my notary at the following address:

Hello,
my mother received a letter that came from Spain written in English announcing that she might be the heir of a relative who passed away during the tsunami disaster and was working in Spain at David Smith and Co. Solicitors in Valencia. He is posing as a reputable lawyer, Harvey Kelvin. We are communicating by email.
The amount would be held in a diplomatic fund and he asks us not to speak to anyone and to come to Spain to recover this amount. He has not requested any money or account number from us.
Is this a scam?
Thank you for your response.

Hi,
I received a letter this week from Spain (in English) saying they were looking for potential heirs of Mr. Thomas Bouchard, who has been living in Spain for 15 years and made a fortune in business. His entire family and he were killed in a tsunami four years ago. They did a lot of research and finally stumbled upon me, a Bouchard among so many others, the lucky one!!!! (personal comment)
This letter seemed official with the letterhead of a law firm from Spain.
I checked to see if this law firm existed in Italy, guess what, it exists. I contacted them to ask if they knew my interlocutor, bingo, he was the principal shareholder of this office and a woman replied to me, her name listed among the lawyers working for this firm. She confirmed that I could trust this man.
They are very smart. I plan to have a little fun with them. I’m going to give them as many false hopes as they might have given to a more credulous person who could risk being scammed.

Hello everyone, here is the email I received yesterday:
Hello,
I am Mr. Bacrot Jacques, born on November 11, 1946 in Canada.
I saw your blog on this site during my various research.
I have been suffering from throat cancer for nearly a month now. My doctor has just informed me that my days are numbered due to my deteriorating health.
My marital situation is such that I have neither a wife nor children to whom I could leave my inheritance. My only son passed away in a motorcycle accident in Switzerland.
This is why I would like, graciously and with the intention of making a donation of €500,000 for your charity work.
I am doing this because of God, I expect nothing in return apart from your blessing and your prayer so that my soul may rest in peace.
I kindly ask you to send me the following information:
Full Name, Profession, Age, a Phone Number, and if possible, the Fax.
Thank you for responding very quickly
Sincerely,
Mr. Jacques Bacrot

I just received the same kind of scam, I'm attaching a copy of the email... If it can help to make them known....
Dear beloved,
First of all, I want to apologize for my intrusion into your private life.
I know this message may come as a surprise since we do not know each other, but the grace of God has directed me to you. Please read carefully and be blessed in the name of Jesus.
I am Mrs. Mireille LEVERC, a Canadian citizen. I was married to the late Jérôme LEVERC, who worked as a business consultant in Ivory Coast for twenty-six years before his death in 2002 after a short illness lasting about five days.
We were married for eighteen years and had one child named Georges who unfortunately lost his life in a plane crash in Egypt while going on vacation.
Before my husband's sudden death, we were people of good morals. But my husband and I were rejected by our different families simply because we renounced Islam and gave our lives to Jesus Christ.
Recently, following news about my health, my doctor informed me that I will not live much longer and indicated that in a few months, he would see a saturation of this illness in several parts of my body (CANCER). This is currently troubling me, and he informed me I will be paralyzed. Now that I know my situation and have been rejected even by my family, I have decided to make a donation for a good cause, that is, to help the poor who are suffering and depressed, assist Christian communities, youth groups, help nursing homes, invest in agriculture, and establish a funding foundation.
You know that this fortune would serve as a strength for Islam. When my late husband was alive, he and I worked hard and accumulated enough wealth that we have kept, a sum of $4,800,000.00 USD stored in a major bank here in Abidjan. Currently, I find myself in a hospital in the United States, but I have a lawyer who is in Ivory Coast. I would like to make you a donation of this fortune since my health situation is very critical, and I have no heirs, nor anyone to inherit, and moreover, my parents abandoned me because I converted to Christianity to do the work of God. I would like to offer you this money so that you can help build temples, orphanages, establishments to fight poverty, and advance your Christian activities. If you are interested!
Then respond to me so that I can give you my lawyer's and the bank's contact information to ensure this money comes to you before my death because my doctor has confirmed that I have only a few months to live if our LORD wills it. In conclusion, I confirm that this fortune is the work of my husband and myself who have worked for over eighteen years, and for the love of God, I grant you this gift, and if you accept, then may the name of the Lord be blessed. I look forward to a favorable response. Please receive my most distinguished regards, sir or madam, and I ask for a prayer for me who is currently suffering on my hospital bed.
My respects
Cordially your attention to my message.
Mrs. Mireille LEVERC
My response:
Madam, Sir
I already don’t know what to do with all my money, so don’t add to it... Bury yourself with it and let’s not speak of it anymore.
Unless my husband at the internet fraud police can help you!!!!
Dear beloved,
First of all, I want to apologize for my intrusion into your private life.
I know this message may come as a surprise since we do not know each other, but the grace of God has directed me to you. Please read carefully and be blessed in the name of Jesus.
I am Mrs. Mireille LEVERC, a Canadian citizen. I was married to the late Jérôme LEVERC, who worked as a business consultant in Ivory Coast for twenty-six years before his death in 2002 after a short illness lasting about five days.
We were married for eighteen years and had one child named Georges who unfortunately lost his life in a plane crash in Egypt while going on vacation.
Before my husband's sudden death, we were people of good morals. But my husband and I were rejected by our different families simply because we renounced Islam and gave our lives to Jesus Christ.
Recently, following news about my health, my doctor informed me that I will not live much longer and indicated that in a few months, he would see a saturation of this illness in several parts of my body (CANCER). This is currently troubling me, and he informed me I will be paralyzed. Now that I know my situation and have been rejected even by my family, I have decided to make a donation for a good cause, that is, to help the poor who are suffering and depressed, assist Christian communities, youth groups, help nursing homes, invest in agriculture, and establish a funding foundation.
You know that this fortune would serve as a strength for Islam. When my late husband was alive, he and I worked hard and accumulated enough wealth that we have kept, a sum of $4,800,000.00 USD stored in a major bank here in Abidjan. Currently, I find myself in a hospital in the United States, but I have a lawyer who is in Ivory Coast. I would like to make you a donation of this fortune since my health situation is very critical, and I have no heirs, nor anyone to inherit, and moreover, my parents abandoned me because I converted to Christianity to do the work of God. I would like to offer you this money so that you can help build temples, orphanages, establishments to fight poverty, and advance your Christian activities. If you are interested!
Then respond to me so that I can give you my lawyer's and the bank's contact information to ensure this money comes to you before my death because my doctor has confirmed that I have only a few months to live if our LORD wills it. In conclusion, I confirm that this fortune is the work of my husband and myself who have worked for over eighteen years, and for the love of God, I grant you this gift, and if you accept, then may the name of the Lord be blessed. I look forward to a favorable response. Please receive my most distinguished regards, sir or madam, and I ask for a prayer for me who is currently suffering on my hospital bed.

aaaaaaah I have a follow-up!!!!!
Good evening to you,
I would like to thank you for your attention to my message and please know that this is not a joke, let alone a distraction.
I am indeed Mrs. Mireille LEVERC, I am currently ill and I would like to make a DONATION but I want this donation to be useful in the world...
If I contacted you, it is to inform you of my donation, but if you refuse, you can help me find someone who would be willing to accept my donation, because this donation will be used for charitable works and to build a "MIREILLE LEVERC" Foundation so that I can have peace of mind after my death.
I am awaiting your response
Bless you!
Lady Mireille LEVERC
Response:
Yes yes my husband who is in the police.

I too, for the second time, have received the same message from Mr. Jacques Bacrot on my Skyblog.
The first time, I reported it to Sky and had his blog shut down. Today, he reappears under another pseudonym and with a new blog, but with the same message and the same name!

Hello,
I am Mr. Jacques Bacrot, born on November 11, 1946, in Canada.
I saw your blog on this site during my various searches.
I have been suffering from throat cancer for nearly a month now. My treating doctor just informed me that my days are numbered due to my deteriorating health condition.
My marital situation is such that I have neither a wife nor children to whom I could bequeath my inheritance.
My only son passed away in a motorcycle accident in Switzerland.
That is why I would like to graciously make a donation of €500,000 for your charitable work.
I do this because of God; I expect nothing in return except your blessing and your prayer so that my soul may rest in peace.
Therefore, I kindly ask you to provide me with the following information:
Full Name, Profession, Age, a Phone Number, and if possible, a Fax Number.
Thank you for responding very quickly.
Sincerely,
Mr. Jacques Bacrot

Received two days ago. Obviously, I didn't reply...
Dear Sir,
I am 62 years old and I would like to send you a message that I hope will catch your attention.
I want to explain that I haven't heard from a family member in almost 10 years.
While doing research online in hopes of finding a family member, I came across your email.
That’s when I decided to contact you and share my project.
I sincerely apologize for this message.
My doctor has just informed me that I have throat cancer, which I am suffering from terribly.
My marital situation is such that I have neither a wife nor children, and I am a French national who has worked as a businessman for many years, with no one to whom I could bequeath my estate.
That is why I wish, out of love for painting and art and out of humanitarianism, to give you my heritage amounting to several million dollars to help you create a foundation or an art gallery or for underprivileged children or for any other good humanitarian work. So that my time on earth will not be considered a failure.
I would like to confirm the following information:
Your phone number and, if possible, your fax number, your address, and especially your full name and profession.
Once I receive this information, I will make arrangements to see how I can transfer these funds to enable you to set up this humanitarian project.
I am counting on your goodwill and especially the proper use of all these funds.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
Mr. Steve Dufer

Hello,
I am pleased to have read your testimony because I will show you what I have received... Hello,
I am Mrs. Alessia Duvanel born on October 4, 1944, of Swiss nationality. I am suffering from a terrible terminal stage esophageal cancer.
My life is nothing but a long sigh that only darkens; today my only desire is to die.
All my wills are transcribed in writing because I have lost the use of speech.
I am very afraid because my doctor has just informed me that my days are numbered due to my deteriorating health.
However, I have no husband, no children, nor relatives to whom I could bequeath my inheritance. Therefore, I would like to bequeath my inheritance amounting to NINE MILLION EUROS (9,000,000 €)
to allow you to establish a Foundation in my Name
and I would also like you to use part of this money for the benefit of underprivileged and elderly people in difficulty.
I do not want my inheritance to automatically become the property of the government of Côte d'Ivoire.
I therefore ask you to contact me with all your contact details
in order to put you in touch with the Bank that will handle the Donation procedure for you.
I ask you to make good use of this Gift.
May GOD bless you and give you the strength to carry out this work.
Mrs. Alessia Duvanel
So I answer her that I do not see why I would give her my contact details
because I am not at all sure of her <underline>identity; why me?</underline> Hello
I have just read your response.
I am looking for an honest and trustworthy person to whom I could entrust my inheritance. As I told you, I am suffering from esophageal cancer which is unfortunately very advanced and my doctor has just informed me that my days are numbered.
I do not ask you for your bank details because I believe that such information should remain confidential.
I ask you to provide me with your name, first name, phone number, and address, only and only if you agree, and I emphasize if you agree.
Because I do not want to entrust my inheritance to someone who does not deserve it.
I will then give this information to my bank, which will contact you to provide you with this donation.
I do not wish for any misunderstanding between you and me, so let’s be clear: if you feel ready to undertake this work, please contact me again.
I ask you to make good use of this Gift.
May GOD bless you and give you the strength to carry out this work.

Yes, absolutely, I’m in that situation too, but be careful!!! Once you’ve submitted all the documents, you won’t have a penny left. After that, you have the UMOA and another organization that asks you for more money, and you find yourself ruined.
Here is the message I received through my blog's messaging system
I am Mr. PATRIK BRUEL, born on August 19, 1955, in FRANCE.
I saw your address during my various searches.
I have been suffering from throat cancer for nearly a month now. My treating physician has just informed me that my days are numbered due to my deteriorating health.
My marital situation is such that I have neither a wife nor children to whom I could leave my inheritance. My only son passed away in a motorcycle accident in Switzerland.
That is why I would like to generously donate a sum of €700,000 to your charitable work.
I am doing this out of love for God; I do not expect anything in return but your blessing and prayer for my soul to find peace.
I kindly ask you to send me the following information:
Full Name, Profession, Age, a Phone Number, and if possible, Fax.
Thank you for responding very quickly
Sincerely,
Mr. PATRIK BRUEL
Moreover, he insists but I will not give anything at all. I told him that this was a scam
and he is just trying to con me; these people are really dishonest, beware of them

Hello
Following your letter, I had the same scam but it was Mr. Philippe Brus and his lawyer Maître Ben Lamine in Côte d'Ivoire, and there are many people like that who present themselves well, etc. Even after the conversation, they claim they don't have money to pay for their daughter's school, etc., and they ask to borrow money. Of course, he's in France and his 14-year-old daughter is in Côte d'Ivoire, where there are schools in France. In short, all this needs to stop because people are giving out their account numbers, etc., and getting scammed by gangs in Côte d'Ivoire. I received the same letter as you, not the same name, but I didn't give anything, and I told them that all the messages were given to the police to track them down. I hope this will stop. Thank you for your understanding and best wishes.

Hello
Yes Rose, I did like you, I told him that my husband, who is a chief warrant officer in the gendarmerie, has been taking care of them for more news
But what is certain is that they scam poor people
And this should not be allowed
When will it stop????
For my part, I have never given them my contact details
Because I had already heard about their shady dealings
What they're doing is really disgusting
Kisses

oh yes, there are plenty of people in the same situation as you on this site, and many who have ended up ruined, so stop responding to their messages because they won't let you go. The more money you give them, the more they'll ask for it without having the money they promised you. Beware of danger!!!
Virginie from 88, I had the same thing yesterday, the so-called notary has my identity details and everything except for banking of course, can he do something with that? Thank you for replying to me, please!!!
Hello, I'm going to answer your question. You have nothing to worry about. Tell me the name and surname of that famous notary because I have documents that I managed to get sent to me by this scammer. Ask that notary to send a piece of identification with his passport; tell him that it's your bank that wants it, otherwise you won't send any money. You have to bluff. Do you send a donation document or not? And let me know if he is in Côte d'Ivoire. Just to let you know, I'm the one who scammed them; they have your fixed phone number. Give me all the details and especially more info so that you can extract as much information as possible. Get their identification card number to see if you’re not lying and to confirm that you are indeed this person. When you give them money, they are sure to receive it. Keep me updated, and then if you manage to get documents, you can file a complaint with the fraud service or the police.
I find it really hollow that some people play with giving hope to those who need it... I just received this kind of letter where someone wants to leave me an inheritance, her husband has passed away and she has cancer. I'm not rich. We get by with what we have. I have a small family, a husband and 2 kids, one of whom is disabled, which is the reason for my work stoppage to take care of them. IT'S REALLY CRUEL TO DO THIS!!! You must have no heart to want to scam innocent people... MAY THE UNIVERSE BLESS THEM ALL!!! AND FORGIVE THEIR INNOCENCE AND MALICE BECAUSE LIFE, THE UNIVERSE WILL TAKE CARE OF MAKING THEM PAY FOR ALL THE WRONGS THEY'VE DONE... such is my belief because what you do to others, all the good and all the bad comes back to you at some point in your life... it's the law of attraction, the law of the universe...
Yes, it's shameful. I'm in the same situation. My husband passed away a year ago from a rapidly progressing, generalized cancer in just three months.
Last month, my 25-year-old son, who still lives with me, found out he has lymphoma.
I am just a simple cleaning lady, sick for seven months due to nervous depression and several surgeries.
And people like that play pretend they're sick and want to leave a legacy to ordinary folks.
If one day they are truly sick, they'll understand that you shouldn't play with fire.
It's despicable the way they act.
And one day they will pay for it, and then they'll be able to cry.
Because there will be no one to lend them a hand.
Best wishes, Lili.

Dear Mr. I have a lady who spoke to me, I saw her in a photo and she said she is going to die soon. Her notary contacted me and sent me the documents by email. I asked the lady why she chose me, and she said she chose me at random. I doubt it a lot, but she seemed sincere. I have nothing to lose, I have no money, so they can't steal money from me. I would like to have your advice if possible. Thank you, Mr., for your attention. Best regards, Carine Beaulieu.
Good evening
I know my message may seem somewhat unusual to you, but I assure you that I am sincere in what I am going to say in the rest of my email. I would like you to pay particular attention to it.
I also want to tell you that this is neither a bad joke nor a hoax, let alone a prank, but something very serious. It is with a desperate air that I send you this message; I know it may come as a surprise, and maybe I won’t even get a response.
First of all, I want to apologize for this intrusion into your life, even though I admit that it is very important to me. I am Mrs. GILBERTINE LAVOIE, 62 years old, born in Rennes, France. I have been suffering from throat cancer for over 3 and a half years, and unfortunately, my doctor has just informed me that I am in the terminal phase and that my days are numbered due to my severely deteriorated health. I am a widow and I have not had children, which I am starting to regret bitterly.
As for the reason I'm contacting you, it is because I wish to donate part of my assets since I have no one to inherit them. I have almost sold all my belongings, including a wood and rubber exporting company and a steel mill in Africa, where I have lived for over 48 years. A large portion of all these funds raised has been donated to various humanitarian organizations all over the world, but especially here in Africa. As for the rest of the sum, which currently amounts to €3,000,000 in a blocked personal account, my last wish would be to donate it to you so that you can invest in your field of activity and especially in humanitarian work (helping the most underprivileged). I am fully aware of what I intend to do, and I believe, despite the fact that we do not know each other, that you will know how to make good use of this money. I therefore ask you to kindly accept this bequest without asking you for anything in return except to always think about doing good around you, something I was not able to do during my life.
Do not worry, because before contacting you, I prayed for several nights for the Lord Jesus Christ to grant me contact with a trustworthy person to whom I could entrust this matter, and it was following that that I searched and found your address.
Please know that you can keep half of this money for yourself, and the rest will be used to carry out my most cherished project in the world, which is to help those in need and also to build orphanages.
That said, being reassured to have fallen on a responsible and above all good-hearted person, I would ask you to please provide me with your contact details as follows:
Last Name ................................
First Names .................................
Gender ................................
Country ...............................
City ................................
Postal Code ................................
Geographic Address ...............................
Tel/Fax ........................................
Email ................................
so that I can give them to my bank so they can contact you and get back to me as soon as possible to give you more explanations about the reasons for my gesture and the process involved.
Contact me again
Warm regards,
Mrs. GILBERTINE LAVOIE
In short, it goes without saying that these are people who do this to create false identities; once they have your information, they steal your identity. You need to be very careful. I saw a report not too long ago that showed their methods of operation!!! One way to expose them is that their messages are generally filled with errors lol. We laugh about it, but it’s pathetic because there are still people who fall for it, and that’s really unfortunate. Best wishes to everyone!!
Hello, following your previous message, it was really very kind of you, and well yes, it makes me very happy that there are dear ones, friends like you, who still support me during this difficult ordeal!
And as I told you, according to the latest analyses revealed by the doctors, my days are however numbered and right now I am just feeling very low, with zero morale!
However, yes, regarding my assets amounting to over 250,000.00€ (two hundred fifty thousand euros) in a fairly reliable foreign bank that I would like to transfer to you beforehand, I would still like to know if you would like to have more details in order to take possession of my assets. Please confirm receipt of my message, and I will give more details about my assets which are in one of the major foreign banks, in very good and reliable conditions and truly useful!
So I wish you a very good Sunday
I look forward to hearing from you
Mme Sabine Foucart
