7 million dollars

Asked Jun 24, 2012, 04:02 AM — 13 Answers
I made a fake skype account with the name
Taylor Lautner and got this…..
“Hello Lautner,

I have been in search of someone with this name Lautner” and it is my pleasure to seek for your business assistance.I am Mr. A**** G*****, an officer in charge of auditing and account section with a bank here in Ghana.

in 2010, one mr Ste*** who has the same surname as yours and who has your country in his file as his place of orgin, made a fixed deposit values at $7,150,000.00 with our bank . unfortunately, while on a business trip, he died in deadly earthquake that occurred on march 11, 2011 in sendai japan that killed many people. He was in Japan in a business trip and that was how he met his end.

I hereby write in regards to this effects to have you stand as the rightful beneficiary to late Mr Stephen so that the funds will be claimed by you. Contact me in this email address(******@*****.com) send me your email address for easy communication.

regards
A***** G***** “
R.I.P mr Stephen. If this is not a scam, and I'm all there's left to give this large amount of money to, then how can I legally attain this money without going to jail for any reason?

This is a form of 419 or advanced fee scam and well documented on the net.
If even 1% where true then I would be a multiple BILLIONAIRE with the amount I get !!!

And you used the name of a real person to create your skype account, how do you know this person isn't doing the same by using a real bankers name for his scam.

True true, well i emailed him back so I guess we'll see if he replies with all realness.
Should i ask him to deposit it to my bank or just forget about this all together?

Sure, go ahead and give him your bank account number then sit back and watch your money disappear.

I'm a member of that site....good stuff.


This is a scam. Do not hope to see any "realness" in his replies to you. You came here asking about it, you were told it's a common scam, yet you still try to find "realness" in contact with this guy. Of course you Googled him and came up with a name of a legit bank...so what? Try this for an experiment. On here I go by the name of Odinn7 but in real life, my name is Donald Trump. Google me...you'll see I'm real and I have so much money that it rolls out of my butt.

Yeah, I'm not really Donald Trump obviously but I hope you get the point.

It's a scam, they will soak you for everything they can in fees and such for money that you will never see...and you'll never be able to get it back.

I will point out one other thing. You are a thief. Even if this wasn't a scam (which it is) you said you "made a fake skype account with the name...". Since Mr Lautner is a celebrity your use of his name was illegal. And since your name is not Lautner, and therefore not related to the family, any attempt to collect this money would be a fraud on your part.
