This person called himself one of many names... Barrister Dauda Aliyu & Barr. Dauda Aliyu. (SAN) & IDEHEN DAVID OSAS & Etim Karimu Crescent. His original e-mail message is below. He had me believing that I was going to receive 40% of 9.5Million US dollars because of a death by someone sharing my last name. He said that he has been searching for the next of kin for the past 3 years and he wanted to split the money with me. He had me fooled all up to the point where I was about to send him $4,150 to secure a court affidavit in order to complete the transaction.
I had even given this "UNION BANK NIGERIA" my personal bank account number so that they could deposit the money. I am glad that I researched this because these people could have taken me for a lot of money. This man called me repeatedly to put pressure on me as well. He even stooped so low as to say that he was trying to come up with part of the money needed for the affidavit but his brother had just died and he had to use the money on his funeral.
Here is his original e-mail to me:

Subject: YOUR URGENT RESPONSE NEEDED. (LIPPERT)
From The Desk Of Barr. Dauda Aliyu,
Dauda Aliyu Chambers,
Etim Karimu Crescent,
Victoria Island,
Lagos. Nigeria
Dear Lippert,
Please accept my unsolicited mail to you, I will like
to solicit your help in a business proposition, which
is by nature very confidential and a Top Secret. I know
that a transaction of this magnitude will make anyone
worried and apprehensive but I am assuring you not to
worry, as all will be well at the end of this
endeavour. Firstly, let me introduce myself to you. Iam
Barrister Dauda Aliyu a solicitor at law.
I am the personal attorney to Mr. Jonathan Lippert, a
native of your country, who is based and work with the
(OBAT OIL COMPANY) here in Nigeria. On the 20th of
Febuary my client, his wife And their two
children were involved in a car accident along Sango
Otta, Abeokuta expressway. All occupants of the vehicle
unfortunately lost there lives. Since then, I have
requested for alot information to your embassy to
locate any of my clients extended relatives this has
also proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided
to search for his last name over the Internet, to
locate any member of his family. Henceforth, I contacted
you to assist me in repatriating the money and
property left behind by my late client before they get
confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank
where the fund was deposited. Apparently, the finance
institute where the deceased had an account valued at
about USD$9.5million dollars has issued me a notice to
provide the next of kin or have the account
confisicated within the next ten official working
days.
Since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the the
relatives for over 3 years now I seek your consent to
present you as the next of kin of the deceased since
you have the same surname or last name so that the
proceeds of this account valued at USD$9.5 million
dollars can be paid to you and then you and me can
share the money.
I am willing to compensate you with 40% of the total
funds while 55% will be for me to invest in your
country while 5% will be for any expenses incur
between both parties during the process of
transaction. I have all necessary legal documents that
can be used to back up any claim we may make. All I
require is your honest co-operation to enable us
achieve our goal. I guarantee that this will be
executed under a legitimate arrangement that will
protect you from any breach of the law
or interpol.
Please get back to me in my private email
box ([email protected]) and send to me your
telephone and fax numbers to enable our further
discussion over this transaction. Thanks and God bless
you.
Best regards,
Barrister. Dauda Aliyu. (SAN)
I have many more e-mails from him along with some from the "UNION BANK of NIGERIA", if you are interested in reading them.
