It's the simple mistakes which count

Now Ed uses an e-mail account from Hotmail. This account is set up as Morrgantrust. This is a misspelled version of Morgan Trust which is a major investment bank based in Switzerland.

Would you believe such a company would use Hotmail for it's e-mail traffic?

Neither do I.

So why does Ed use this e-mail address? That's easy. It's because he has been doing a scam with the Morgan Trust as a part of the story.

That is his simple mistake with this one.

He's either lazy or just plain stupid in using the account for this scam.

Note:
Most of the Africans use Freemail accounts because they are easily and quickly set up. They offer anonymity, which is very important. You can set them up with any name you like such as morgantrust. And finally, they are easily and quickly abandoned if needed.

That is minimum risk for the scammers!

Dear Sir/Madam,

All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives. Since then I have made several enquiries to your embassy to locate any of my clients extended relatives this has also proved unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to contact you.

I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the fund valued at US$11.4 million left behind by my client before it gets Confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Security Finance Firm where this huge amount were deposited. The said Security Finance Company has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated within the next fourteen official working days. For the fact that I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 2 years now, I seek the consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased, so that the proceeds of this account can be paid to you. Therefore, on receipt of your positive response, we shall then discuss the sharing ratio and modalities for transfer.

I have all necessary information and legal documents needed to back you up for claim. All I require from you is your honest cooperation to enable us see this transaction through. I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement that will protect you and me from any breach of the law. Please get in touch with me through my private email for more details.
Best regards,
Ed Massa Esq.
