Today's spam message - from Turkey

How has your day been? I am sure that you will receive me in good faith; I am contacting you to see how you can help me and yourself too.

My name is Aslan. I am a bank staff in a Turkish bank. i have been in search of someone from your country who has the same nationality with you. i believe it was God's will that we met to Share important information. I'm sure you will be interested. I think God wants me to meet you now. I have an important business discussion that I would like to share with you and I think you will be interested as it relates to your nationality and will benefit from it.

A citizen of your country who died in the recent earthquake in Turkey. So when i saw you on the internet i decided to see how we can be of assistance to each other, he had in our bank fixed deposits worth $11.5 million. Unfortunately, he was not married and no next of kin was mentioned in the fix deposit account as he never believed he could die at his prime age, he was into the exportation of Fabric manifacted materials.

My Bank management are yet to know of his death if my bank executive finds out that his death ,They will receive the funds for themselves and get more richer and I would like to prevent that from happening only if i get your cooperation, I knew about it because I was his account manager.

Last week my bank management held a meeting for the purpose of a bank audit to note the dormant and abandoned deposit accounts. I know this will happen and that's why I'm looking for a solution to deal with this situation because if my bank management accidentally discovers his death, they will divert the funds to the senior board of directors. So I don't want that to happen.

Now I request your cooperation to introduce you as the next of kin/heir of the account as you are of the same nationality as him and my banking center will issue the account to you through my help. There is no risk; the transaction is carried out under a legal agreement that protects you from infringement. Better to demand the money than let the bank managers divert it and divide it among themselves.
I'm not a greedy person, so I suggest we split the funds, 60/40 and 40 for me. Please note that i am so much in need of my share of this money because have got a sick daughter who requires a very expensive surgery treatment.
Let me know what you think about it and please keep this information confidential. I will provide more details as soon as I receive your urgent reply to my personal email address below.

It would be a sad thing for someone to fall for this.

@Poppies There are those in our society who will think this is a genuine attempt to help them.
A sad indictment on those lonely people out there with no one.

@Gusman oh in Oklahoma old men, disabled and virtuous, will hire a woman to move in and be celibate for him and she stays there free, but older women not allowed...lol

easy to guess why

its the same as when they want a forty something to move in and NOT be chaste with them

The point is the woman loses either way. Chaste and perfect 4 his fantasies and no freedom...
OR

the usual.

And anyone can see that this BS is sad and about repression and using women instead of really respecting them. Once more. And nobody is "helped" this way.

This sounds like a variation on the old "Nigerian prince" emails from days of yore!
I need some Fabric Manifacted Materials..
DrWatson · 70-79, M
@TheSirfurryanimalWales Hey , I can get them for you wholesale. Just send me your credit card number!
ArishMell · 70-79, M
Aslan, eh? I'd best be careful about using my wardrobe... (Or is Aslan a real Turkish name?)

The whole thing looks so implausible I am very surprised anyone falls for this sort of phishing attempt, but sadly enough must do so for it to be worthwhile for the criminals. Even if they only catch one in a thousand copied messages, it probably is.
