Preface: This was a fax received at work, addressed to someone with the same last name as our CFO. My guess is that you could just change the last name to match whatever name you want to F with this scammer. The address almost corresponds with a legitimate Ms. Thomsen that practices law, the contact info is not. The website is down, along with the initial “business” email. Thankfully, he has included a gmail address.

Dear X Fair

My name is Edward Thomsen, I am a partner at Thomsen Associates, in Toronto Canada.

Apologies if my letter came to you as a surprise, since there has been no previous correspondence between us. There is an unclaimed “permanent life insurance policy” held by our deceased client.

The transaction pertains to an unclaimed “transfer on death” (“TOD”) savings monetary deposit in the sum of Eleven Million, Nine Hundred & Ninety Thousand, and Two Hundred United States Dollars ($11,990,200.00. The policy holder was one of our clients, Late Dr. Darell Fair, who was a Real Estate Investor and precious stone dealer. He died in an auto crash, over Nine years ago. since His death no one has come forward for the claim and all our efforts to locate his relatives have proved unsuccessful.

The insurance company code stipulates that “insured Permanent Policies” not claimed must be turned over the the abandoned property division of the state after 10 years.

Therefore, I ask for your consent to be in partnership with me for the claim of this policy benefit, in view of the striking similarity in the same last name and nationality with the deceased. If you permit me to add your name to the policy, all proceeds will be processed on your behalf. I wish to point out that I want 10% of this money to be shared amount charity organizations while the remaining 90% will be shared between us.

This is 100% risk free. I do have all necessary documentation to expedite the process in a highly professional and confidential manner. I will provide all the relevant documents to substantiate your claim as the beneficiary. This claim requires a high level of confidentiality and it may take up to thirty (30) business days, form the date of receipt of your consent.

For more details please contact me via: [email protected]

Your earliest response to this matter would be highly appreciated.

I got the same exact fax to my office. Pretty good scam with legit looking paperwork. I went through the first email and then smelled a rat. Sent it to my local FBI office.
