Dear Friend,

I am Mr Peter Ruggiero, an internal auditor with Hsbc Bank Plc.

During our last auditing exercises, as the head of the team, I discovered a

dormant account valued $19.8 Million dollars. Further investigation about

the account revealed that the account holder died since 2001. And up till

date, nobody has come forward or put application for claim. During my

private search for the relative recently your name and email contact was

among the findings that matches the same surname as the decease name who

died interstate with no Will or next of kin.

I am contacting you based on trust, to have you presented as the next of kin

and the beneficiary of the deposit and I will take care of all necessary

paper work to legally declare you the beneficiary of the funds.

If this interest you, kindly respond back immediately with the following

details

Answer 1

This is a known scam.  Don&#039;t ever fall for anything like this.

Rule of thumb:  Official stuff like this rarely comes in the form of an email and will always use your name.  &quot;Dear Friend&quot; is a cover up because spammers don&#039;t know your real name.  Also, you should be suspicious that Mr. Riggiero failed to tall you your relative&#039;s name.  And how come Mr. Riggiero is using a dodo.com account and not a legitimate business email account?

This fraud was horribly composed.

Answer 3

No, this is a con, a rip off, and if you send them any info you deserve all the trouble it will bring you.
