This is a fairly typical 409 scam. Mr. Jamal claims to be from the UAE, representing some late official, claiming the victim to be the next of kin of said official. I went back and forth with him for about a week. He asks for typical information: name, phone number, address, etc. He also claims he needs a copy of a license to sign “official docmentation” so that you can receive upwards of half a million dollars. I corrosponded with him under the name “Quasimodo” using an email account I set up JUST for scam baiting.

The email is as follows:
HEADING: “can i trust you”
