Zakaria Yusuf
Claiming in need of a next of kin for $5.7M and you have the right last name Ripoff Maylasia

If you get an email from a Zakaria Yusuf claiming to be an attorney from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It is a scam.
He claims to have a deceased client who has an unaccounted for bank account with $5.7M and just needs to find a next of kin to present to the courts. All you need to do is sign an affidavit.

"I will provide all the necessary legal documents that will back you up as the bona fide beneficiary of my late client, all I need from you is to cooperate with me and be honest in this arrangement and after a succesfull claim has been made, the bank will transfer the total fund into the account provided by you as the beneficiary account after which we will share the total fund as follows; (1) I will take 60% of the total amount. (2) You will take the remaining 40% of the fund. (3) In case there is any tax applicable when the fund is transfered to you, we will settle the tax from the total amount before splitting it according to the above sharing formula.

Do remember that you are not related to my late client, that I am the one that is bringing you into this transaction and the sharing percentage described above is not to be negotiated If this is okay by you, I will send you a beneficiary affidavit form from the high court, which you will fill and resend to me, for me to swear under oath in high court of Malaysia that you are truly the bona fide beneficiary of my late client and from here we will commence. I will also process all legal documents required to claim the fund."

He even provides a death certificate of a Mike Lewis and a bank statement from Affin Bank in USdollars not in the local currency. There is even a website for a law practice under the name Zakaria Yusuf. He may have created this website to legitimize his scam or has stolen the name of an actual practicing attorney.

I didn't let it go on long enough to find out what he really wants from you but I can make a safe assumption that this affidavit you have sign also requires your personal information including social security number and bank account information.
