Attention Please.

This message is from the office of Interpol Police Force. We have just arrested Mr. James and Glen Walter Schiefer, who claim to be your brothers trying to claim your tax return payment of $10.5 million dollars. In their statement, they said that they are the only surviving brothers you have and that you have a cancer problem, with doctors stating you will not survive for more than 6 months. They presented some written documents claiming you authorized them to collect your tax return money, stating that you have given them instructions on how to use your tax return money once you are no longer living. We are here to determine if what these two individuals said is true or not. If it is true, kindly provide some proof regarding their claims; otherwise, we will not hesitate to grant them access to your tax return money, as that is what you indicated. However, if this information is false, please report back with the following information:

Google says glen Schifer is a CFO of Offshore Oil & Gas Services

now i know why all these offshore oil rig workers are trying to buy cars
 
I just got an email with the subject: "Request for assistance". I do run a consultancy so get all sorts of requests but normally with relevance to what I do and the sender will elaborate.
Was it from a friend?

My father fell for something similar. And got done out of a few $hundred in gift cards.

Probably only caught because he was a bit unwell himself and not thinking but it was quite sophisticated.

Friends FB, at least one email had been hacked and phone number transferred.
Had a passable voiceprint asking you to get the gift cards (hence the laryngitis comment), possibly using AI to mimic a voicemail message.

That is why code words are very important.

A bit forward calling me dear

1759735385423.png

Hello Dear,

First and foremost, I extend my apologies for reaching out to you in this unsolicited manner. I understand that initiating contact in this way may seem unconventional for establishing trust, but I trust you'll appreciate the necessity of my actions. My name is Francois Edmond, and I represent Societe Generale Bank here in Paris, France.

I am writing to inform you about an opportunity regarding the estate of one of our late clients, a British-born individual involved in diamond and gold mining. Unfortunately, the client passed away without any designated next of kin. Subsequently, there exists a fixed deposit account in my bank totaling $57.5 million dollars.

My proposal to you is to present you as the next of kin to the deceased, thereby enabling you to claim the aforementioned funds. I assure you that I will facilitate the acquisition of all necessary legal documents to legitimate this claim. Upon successful completion, I am prepared to share the funds with you on a 60/40 basis, with the entire process expected to be finalized within 72 hours. Once the legal formalities are complete, the bank will recognize you as the rightful recipient and disburse the funds to you within three working days.

I believe that it is in both our interests to ensure these funds are put to good use, rather than risk their confiscation by the bank. If you are interested and can be relied upon to return my agreed share once you have received the funds in your account, please provide me with your full name, address, direct contact number, and occupation for the processing of the necessary legal documents. Further details will be provided upon your response.

I firmly believe that this opportunity could potentially be one of the best decisions you will ever make. However, if you are not inclined to pursue this offer, please disregard this message and consider it as though we had never made contact. I will continue my search for a reliable individual to assist me.

I eagerly await your prompt response.

Best Regards,
Francois Edmond.
