Plane crash scams are certainly popular, aren’t they? In this version, Mr. Richard R. Lyons has left behind an unclaimed fortune in an abandoned account, and you can have a cut if you just help to get it out of the bank in Ghana where it is currently trapped. It sometimes seems as though every person who ever died in a plane crash was a millionaire with a secret bank account somewhere in Africa.

He was a construction magnate who made a deposit of $21.4Million with our bank.He died without any registered next of kin and as such the funds now have an open beneficiary mandate. And the banking ethics here does not allow such money to stay more than seven years, because the money will be recalled to the bank treasury as unclaimed bill after this period.
