I Have Inherited 7,500,000 Euros from Mr John Butler

Posted • October 16, 2009 • 2 Comments

Another email Scam: this One Appears to have Originated in the UK but it Reeks of Nigeria

IMF (international monetary fund) From what I can tell from their email this Mr. John Butler who told the IMF that he was my next of kin and relation and I guess that I died in a car accident four months ago. And I didn’t even know that I was dead let alone that I had died in a car accident.

Cary Grant in Topper I feel like George Kerby (Cary Grant) in Topper. I died and didn’t even know it. Maybe the IMF is really talking about Mr. John Buttler and not me.

Using a Currency Converter the IMF has $11,160,720 waiting for me.

OK so the IMF is only going to give me “a part-payment of 7.5M EURO”.

Some of the interesting “hi-lights” of this email are:

sent from a Yahoo email address
return address is a gmail address
it is sent not to me but to the golivemod-owner@yahoogroups.com
the sent IP address is located in the UK (I got this information from the long header info)
the english is very lacking
they request I send them my personal details
the email is intended only for the use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed (golivemod-owner@yahoogroups.com)
they/he requests “Make sure you reply to my alternative Email address (payned100@gmail.com) for confidential reasons”
it is from the International Monetary Fund Agency

The IMF (International Monetary Fund) even released the following news brief back in 1996.

NEWS BRIEF No. 96/14
November 18, 1996

International Monetary Fund
700 19th Street, NW
Washington, D.C. 20431 USA

IMF AGAIN WARNS OF FINANCIAL SCHEMES MISUSING ITS NAME

In view of widespread and continuing inquiries from individuals and companies who have been approached by parties in connection with offers of participation in various financial instruments and schemes promising high returns and unauthorizedly using the name of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the Treasurer of the IMF today again warned potential investors to beware of such schemes. He had already issued warnings in the past (see News Brief Number 94/5, published February 23, 1994 and News Brief Number 94/11, published May 13, 1994). Today he reiterated that the IMF does not issue or guarantee any obligations called “Prime Bank Notes,” “Prime Bank Guarantees,” “Bill of Exchange,” or “Bill of Equity,” or extend any credit lines through commercial banks or other agencies. Moreover, the IMF does not guarantee debentures or other financial instruments issued by a member country or any other entity. It does not sponsor investment programs, “high-yield financial programs,” or issue to countries or to outside parties an “IMF Number,” “IMF Country Registration Number,” or an “IMF Approval Number for Projects.”

Other examples of bogus instruments often featured in such schemes which unauthorizedly use the name of the IMF are:

fictitious stand-by letters of credit–falsely portrayed as risk-free and sanctioned by the IMF;

securities allegedly backed by the IMF; and

bonds supposedly issued by the IMF.

The IMF is an intergovernmental organization whose financial transactions and operations are carried out directly with its member countries and only through a fiscal agency designated by each member for this purpose (such as the member’s Central Bank or its Ministry of Finance). The IMF does not operate through other agents and it does not endorse the activities of any bank, financial institution, or other public or private agency.

IMF EXTERNAL RELATIONS DEPARTMENT
Public Affairs: 202-623-7300 – Fax: 202-623-6278
Media Relations: 202-623-7100 – Fax: 202-623-6772

So maybe I’m not going to get a part of the $11,160,720.

Should I send my personal information to them any way?

ME THINKS NOT! (it must be the pirate in me surfacing)

I guess there was a reason Mr. Daniel Payne wanted me to send the reply to the gmail address and not just reply.

“The following addresses had permanent fatal errors
