BROWN DURU, an attorney for a dead wealthy man

Scam Money Transfers from Lawyers / Barristers
Example - BARRISTER BROWN DURU
"With a wealthy dead client named, Mr.HENRY [insert your last name here], who put YOU in his WILL"

Have you received an email from "BARRISTER BROWN DURU", claiming that he is an attorney for a dead wealthy man (Mr.HENRY [insert your last name here], in this case) who named YOU in his will?  It's a mystery who the dead guy is or why he named you, but you better reply pretty quickly or risk losing millions from the "WILL". And for some reason, the word, Will, appears in capital letters throughout the email. Along with a description of what a great guy the dead man was... which is pretty strange in a business letter from a law firm, isn't it?  Also notice that the "lawyer" is writing to you from a free email account (Yahoo, Hotmail, etc.) The all CAPITAL lettering is a sure sign of a scammer's infantile mentality. And this pathetic scammer REALLY needs to invest some of his scammed money in a spell checker and a dictionary...

If you are still salivating and eager to fill out the form, we can assume you get scammed frequently, as this is simply another fraud to separate you from your money (that is, whatever money you have left after being scammed before).

We've highlighted some of the pathetic spelling mistakes, which one would expect an educated lawyer wouldn't make (but a scumbag scammer pretending to be a lawyer would!)
