Dormant Account Nigerian Spam

The clever thing with this phishing spam is that it is asking you to join them in something illegal so you would be less likely to go to the authorities. No country is mentioned. Bad spelling too. Avoid.

Hello Dear,

Do accept my sincere apologies if my mail does not meet your personal ethics. I will introduce myself as Mr. Sandler, Director of Foreign Operations of a well-known bank here in the United Kingdom. One of our accounts with holding balance of 15 M (Fifteen Million British Pounds) has been dormant and has not been operated for the past 4 years.

From my investigations and confirmations, the owner of this account a foreigner by name Gerald Stone died in 4th of January 2002 and since then nobody has done anything as regards the claiming of this money because he has no family members who are aware of the existence of neither
the account nor the funds. Also Information from the National Immigration states that he was also single on entry into the UK.

I have secretly discussed this matter with some of the bank officials and we have agreed to find a reliable foreign partner to deal with. We thus propose to do business with you, standing in as the next of kin of these funds from the deceased and funds released to you after due processes have been followed.
BELLOW IS THE REQUIRED INFORMATIONS YOU WILL SEND TO MY
SECRETARY.

(1) YOUR FULL NAMES
(2) YOUR HOUSE ADDRESS
(3) YOUR DIRECT CELPHONE NUMBER AND HOUSE PHONE WITH FAX IF ANY.
This transaction is totally free of risk and troubles as the fund is a legitimate and does not originate from drug, money laundry, terrorism or any other illegal act. On your interest, let me hear from you.

You are advised to call the under sign on the direct TEL: +447024030692.
Regards,
Mr.Sandler.
