Scams - Inheritance: Brodies LLP LawFirm

Scam Money Transfers from Lawyers / Barristers
Example - Brodies LLP Law Firm
"Wealthy dead client's name: Engr.Miklos Szótára"

Have you received an email from "Brodies LLP Law Firm", claiming that he is an attorney for a dead wealthy man (Engr.Miklos Szótára, 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.)

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).
