The message below is a classic example of the “deceased foreigner” scam. The scammer, calling himself “Frank Patrick,” says a foreigner named “Antoine” made a large deposit in his bank many years ago and the bank account is now abandoned because the foreigner died in an accident. If you’ll just help “Frank” get this money out of the country, he’ll give you a percentage of the fortune. The names may be new, but the scam is very old.
