Heir Hunters Company (scam warning)

Posted on by

Please share this scam alert with your friends on social media.

The British “Heir Hunters” program has been popular with scammers, who send messages claiming to come from the show and notifying you that you have inherited a fortune. Alas, these messages aren’t from the show, but are instead just another version of the old advance fee fraud:

Godwin Emefiele, Bank of Nigeria (scam alert)

Posted on by

Please share this scam alert with your friends on social media.

This is a classic example of a Nigerian “4-1-9” scam message, complete with all the trimmings. (Read more about how Nigerian scams work.) Sadly, there is no real fortune hidden in diplomatic boxes, and no courier waiting to deliver it to your home address. There is only a scammer trying to transfer money from your pocket into his.

I am Symon Petruso, I was one of Mr Andriy Kliuyev’s aid and the most confidential and trusted of the staff. Mr Kliuyev who used to be the Head of the Presidential Administration during the reign of president Viktor Yanukovych who was president of Ukraine from 25th February 2010 until last year.

I am in custody of a huge amount of money I would like to invest in real estate or your line of business in your country. Contact me if you are capable and suitable for partnership and I will provide the funds for the investment. I personally participated in the diversion of funds on behalf of my boss for the president. Shortly before the political upheaval in Ukraine, Mr Kliuyev secretly ordered me to divert the total sum of 35mil USD for him but I smartly used my name as the depositor of the diverted 35mil USDollars before his government was toppled. The money is presently deposited with a financial institution in my name and I need your cooperation to re-profile the funds in your name to enable us invest the funds in your country. I will furnish you with further details when I hear from you.

Your quick response will be appreciated.

Yours faithfully,

Symon Petruso.
