While back got a obviously scam email from someone claiming to be a experienced banker willing to give me lots o mullah etc etc. As opposed to deleting it I was like "why not" i'll play along.

His first email

Obvious Scammer said:

Goodday,

My name is Mr.Myles Gallagher, I am a senior partner in the Technical Advisory Board
of Allied Irish Bank Group (Senior Security Specialist). We are conducting a
standard process investigation on behalf of "AIB Group", the International Banking
conglomerate.

This investigation involves a client who shares the same surname with you and also
the circumstances surrounding investments made by this client at "AIB Group", the
Private Banking arm of Allied Irish Bank. The client died in testate and nominated
no successor in title over the investments made with the bank. I would respectfully
request that you keep the contents of this mail private and respect the integrity of
the information you come by as a result of this mail.

I contact you independently of our investigation and no one is informed of this
communication. I would like to intimate you with certain facts that I believe would
be of interest to you.

You share similar details to the late fellow; I am prepared to place you in a
position to instruct the firm to release the deposit to you as the closest surviving
relation. Upon receipt of the deposit, I am prepared to share the money with you,
that is, I will simply nominate you as the next of kin and have them release the
deposit to you. We share the proceeds 50/50.
I would have gone ahead to ask the funds be released to me, but that would have
drawn a straight line to me and my involvement in claiming the deposit. But on the
other hand, you with the same very name as the depositor's would easily pass as the
beneficiary with right to claim. I assure you that I could have the deposit released
to you within few working days.

I am aware of the consequences of this proposal. I ask that if you find no interest
in this project that you should discard this mail. I ask that you do not be
vindictive and destructive. If my offer is of no appeal to you, delete this message
and forget I ever contacted you. Do not destroy my career because you do not approve
of my proposal. You may not know this but people like myself who have made tidy sums
out of comparable situations run the whole private banking sector. I am not a
criminal and what I do, I do not find against good conscience, this may be hard for
you to understand, but the dynamics of my industry dictates that I make this move.
Such opportunities only come ones in a lifetime. I cannot let this chance pass me
by, for once, I have found myself in total control of my destiny. These chances
won't pass me by. I ask that you do not destroy my chance, if you will not work with
me let me know and let me move on with my life but do not destroy me. I am a
family man and this is an opportunity to provide them with new opportunities.

There is a reward for this project and it is a task well worth undertaking. I have
evaluated the risks and the only risk I have here is from you refusing to work with
me. I am the only one who knows of this situation, good fortune has blessed you with
a name that has planted you into the center of relevance in my life. Lets share the
blessing. If you find yourself able
to work with me, contact me through my email account below. If you give me positive
signals, I will initiate this process towards a conclusion.

I send you this mail not without a measure of fear as to what the consequences, but
I know within me that nothing ventured is nothing gained and that success and riches
never come easy or on a platter of gold. This is the one truth I have learned from
my private banking clients. Do not betray my confidence. If we can be of one accord,
we should plan a meeting soon.

Kind regards,

Mr.Myles Gallagher.

Lol don't "I" sound desperate. Anyways, his reply:

Good day to you my friend, this is to acknowledge the receipt of your e-mail which
was in response to my proposed transaction with you.Firstly, I want to thank you for
the prompt response and your positive disposition towards assisting me in this
mutual beneficial transaction.Your role is basically to front as the next of kin the
deceased accounts holder with a total sum of US$9.6M, so as to put in claims for
these funds. Before this, I would require from you your full names,address,
telephone and fax numbers . Note that I am a seasoned banker who knows the
intricacies involved in both local and international banking as the case may be.I
have attached my international passport for you to know who you are dealing with.

Therefore,I would handle all aspects with my bank to release these funds in your
favor and for the funds to leave here to your bank account as swiftly as possible.
We would employ the service of an Attorney to secure the change of beneficiary
documents in your favor at the Justice Ministry here in Dublin as all modalities
will commenced with the receipt of your information for us to achieve our goal.

Once this is presented to my bank, an approval for the deposit will be granted based
on the back up documents that would be secured from the justice ministry and these
funds would be paid to you as the next of kin and as specified in the beneficiary
application for these funds.

Please,take note that I am 48 years old and I have put in over 21 years in the
banking industry and as such I would not want to compromise my career.Please keep
this matter highly confidential. If I could do this alone,I would not have contacted
you in the first place. I believe that I have been explicit enough. You shall be
duly compensated as earlier stated.

I want you to take note that due to the sensitivity of my position in my bank,
anything around me can arose the interest of the management of my bank and I would
prefer to call you to avoid any risk and security of my job as I like my job and
family and I know you will grant me this favor.

I await your urgent response for us to proceed further and do try to send down all
the required information immediately. Just be rest assured that everything would go
fine and that you would definitely be paid these funds if you listen to me and
follow all my instructions religiousness can call me on my direct mobile (+ 44 704
570 0536).

Kind regards,

Myles Gallagher
