A person by the name of Jeo Brown sent me a message on Yahoo messenger until the screen name Barristerjeo04 and also Barristerjeo06. He claimed to be personal attorney for a deceased man who had the same last name as me and that this man held a significant amount of money in an account with first Light years investment bank, but later changed to Assurance Bank of Nigeria.
"Jeo" stated that this man left an "open beneficiary mandate clause" and that he could not find any next of kin to disperse the money, so it didn't matter if I wasn't actually related. As personal attorney, he said he would take 60% of the deceased man's estate, and I would get 40%.
This man went as far as calling my personal cell phone to ask if I checked my e-mail LOL... in the e-mail, he sent a C.O.D. From Assurance Bank in Nigeria that looked fabricated and contained the deceased man's name and a few other items including the amount of money he was worth.
"Jeo" also attached an "application to be faxed to the bank which was written with some legal language and included categories such as "account number" (my account number to wich the money could be transferred) and "Aba Routing Number".
The "application" form left a telephone number and a fax number to the bank, neither of which checked out on an internet search... Upon further inquiry, I found this website and wrote this message...
