From: "Mrs Helen Steward." MrsHelenSteward@aol.co.uk Dear Friend Thank You and God be with you. |
Looks like the Nigerian scammer crowd is finally hopping on the BP bandwagon.
In this case, you’ve reached someone who is only about 1300 or so miles away from the Gulf of Mexico.
Better luck next time, moron.

The following is a statement from the real Brent Coon & Associates who contacted me regarding this scam. Their representative was actually quite pleasant about the whole thing, so I offered them some space here in the hope that it might help shed a bit more light on this scam and make it clear that the real Brent Coon & Associates are not involved with these scam e-mail messages:
It has been brought to our attention that an email scam regarding the BP Oil Spill Claims Process has been making its way around the internet. The email in question uses the name Barrister Brent Coon. For obvious reasons, it’s disconcerting that a scam email is making its way around the internet using our name (whether coincidentally or not). We would like to make it clear that this email certainly wasn’t generated by anyone associated with Brent Coon & Associates. While we are currently involved in the oil spill litigation, our goal is to help the victims of the Gulf Coast Oil Spill recover any damages they have suffered as a result of this tragedy through legal and legitimate means. It is unfortunate that some would use this tragedy as a means to obtain personal information for unscrupulous use.
Thank you,
Brent Coon & Associates

My deceased client, had a deposit of Five Million Five Hundred Thousand British Pound Sterling (GBP 5.5 Million) which I helped him to open in one of the leading banks here in London two years before his death. Being his former financial and business consultant,I still possess the evidence and the whole paper documents of this deposit with his bank and hence the bank has issued me a notice to provide his next of kin or beneficiary, otherwise the account would be CONFISCATED since nobody has come forward to lay claims on the money since his death. My search for his relative was not successfull and my proposition to you is to seek your consent and to present you as a relative/next-of-kin and beneficiary to my client, so that the proceeds of this account could be paid to you and we share the amount on a mutually agreed-upon percentage.Kindly note that all legal documents to back up your claim as my client’s next-of-kin will be provided, what i require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this transaction through. Moreover, this transaction will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law and If this business proposition offends your moral values, do accept my apology. I must use this opportunity to implore you to exercise the utmost indulgence to keep this matter extraordinary confidential, whatever your decision is do let me know as i await your utmost response so we can proceed with this transaction.Write me via my private email on (chris.evans@msn.com). Best regards, |
I hope this is “PRIVATE” enough for you:
HEY EVERYONE! THIS IS A SCAM!
How’s that?

This sum of US$17.250 Million realized from undeclared taxes and abandon funds was discovered after the current auditing of the bank. We have agreed with other colleagues involved to put up all the necessary documents required and to ensure we get a reliable person who can secure this sum pending our readiness for disbursements. Sequel to this development, your role will be only securing this sum by providing account details where this fund will be transferred into, and also your private email address, phone / fax numbers for easier communications.
