According to Mr Ebu Ahmed, I have been listed as the heir to a whopping US$10.6 million – almost £7 million!
Who Mr Ebu Ahmed is – I don’t actually know - as he’s neglected to mention anything about himself in the email. Nonetheless, he tells me that I am set to inherit this staggering fortune from a relative of mine who is recently deceased, and who Mr Ahmed says can’t be named, for security reasons (apparently, it was already mentioned in an earlier email – I don’t remember seeing that one though).
I did find this very strange at first, to be honest. I don’t know anyone who has passed away very recently – and I don’t think I’ve ever known anyone that had £7 million to their name; certainly no-one who would name me as a sole beneficiary to their fortune. So naturally, I was a little sceptical, but I've just put it down to fate – I guess I must have been doing something right all these years.
Anyway, I’ve emailed him back with my contact details – and I’m just waiting to see where it goes from here.
The initial email exchange is posted below – and if Mr Ahmed plays ball, we may be able to have a little bit of fun over the coming weeks - we'll try to get to know this scammer better and expose him for what he really is. But if you’re impatient and are already salivating at the prospect of retribution for some of those pesky – nay, malicious and deceitful - 419 scammers, you can check out this 419 ‘scambaiting’ website.

GREETINGS.
We wish to notify you again that you were listed as a heir to the total sum of Ten Million Six Hundred Thousand US Dollars in the codicil and last testament of the deceased. Name now withheld since this is our second letter to you. We contacted you because you bear the surname identity and therefore can present you as the heir to the inheritance.
We therefore reckoned that you could receive these funds as you are qualified by your name identity. All the legal papers will be processed in your acceptance. In your acceptance of this deal, we request that you kindly forward to us your letter of acceptance; your current telephone and fax numbers and a forwarding address to enable us file necessary documents at our high court probate division for the release of this sum of money.
Please contact me via my private email so that we can get this done immediately.
Kind regards,
Mr.Ebu Ahmed

Hi Mr Ahmed,
That is great news - however, are you sure you have the right person? I didn't receive your first email, in which you mentioned the name of the deceased.
Obviously $10.6 million is a lot of money, and I just want to confirm I am the right person. If that is so, I'd be thrilled to hear back from you. My contact details are below. Please let me know what I would need to do next.

Well, I'm embarrased (for you) as I also have received notification of my $million inheritance!!! I do remember an earlier email where I was required to sign documents in London ... which I could not do as I reside in the US, and have not heard another thing until the 'follow-up' email arrived today! Too bad 'cos I could really use the money. Looking for a job: Just turned 60, Female, Well educated, equestrian, love art and design ... :)
