I replied, telling him that he was the dumbest 419-type scammer I’d seen in my inbox, and that I had to share. So I shared.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I introduce myself as Liam a staff in the accounts management section of a well-known bank here in the United Kingdom. One of our accounts with holding balance of £15,000,000 (Fifteen Million British Pounds) has been dormant and last operated, three years ago. From my investigations and confirmations, the owner of this account, a Foreigner by name Gerald Stone died on the 4th of January 2002 in a plane crash in Birmingham here in UK.

Since then, nobody has done anything as regards the claiming of this money, as he has no family member that has any knowledge as to the existence of either the account or the funds; Information from the National Immigration also states that he was single on entry into the UK.

Standing in as the next of kin of these funds from the deceased and funds released to you after due processes have been followed.

Regarding the financial aspect of this we have a financier on ground, so you do not have to pay any thing.

On your interest let me hear from you.

Liam
