Swissair Flight 111

This a variation of the inheritance scam. This time, the person who died "Michael Gambone", lost his life in the Swissair Flight 111.


Apart form the bad grammar, this is the same type of fraud as the Egyptian Air 990 scam. Which I have often posted here.

FROM THE DESK OF:MR.BRIAN CAPON
NATIONAL WESTMINISTER BANK,
LONDON,
UNITED KINGDOM.
briancapon70@netscape.net
Dear Friend,
I am Mr.Brian Capon the system and control director at the NATIONAL WESTMINISTER BANK.I am writing this letter to solicit for support and assistance from you to carry out this business opportunity in my bank.
Lying in an inactive account is the sum of 11million pounds sterling belonging to a foreign customer(Michael Gambone) who was a gas consultant here in UK,who happens to be deceased during a business trip. He died with his wife(Deborah Gambone) on board the Swissair Flight 111 , which crashed into the Atlantic off Nova Scotia in september 2nd 1998.
The news of this crash was on the news which we have notified his relatives to no avail.See links below for more detail informaion:
http://cnnstudentnews.cnn.com/WORLD/9809/swissair.victims.list/
http://cnnstudentnews.cnn.com/WORLD/americas/9809/08/swissair.02/
Ever since he died the bank has been expecting his next of kin to come and claim these fund. To this effect, we can not release the money unless someone applies for it as next of kin, as indicated in our banking guideline.
Unfortunately he has no family member in UK or Over-sea who are aware of the existence of the money(as he was a gas consultant.
At this juncture i have decided to do business with you.To this effect I solicit your assistance in applying as the next of kin to the bank then the money will be released to you,as I do not want this money to go into the bank treasury as an unclaimed bill,because the banking law and guideline stipulates that if such money(s) remains unclaimed for a period of up to eight years(8yrs),the money will be transferred into
the bank treasury as an unclaimed bill.
My request for a foreigner as next of kin is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a British cannot stand as next of kin.
40% of the money will be your share as a foreign partner and your assistance to actualise this business,5% for any expenses incured.
Thereafter i will visit your country with your help once the money hits your account for disbursement according to the percentage indicated.
To effect the immediate transfer of the fund to you as agreed,you must apply first to the bank as the next of kin to the deceased,then we will follow up all formalities for the transaction.
Upon receipt of your reply, i will send to you, the text of the application you are to send to the bank,and further clearify you in other issues as toeffect this business.
Awaiting to hear from you urgently.
Best Regards
Mr.Brian Capon.
- Brian Capon

Since I found your blog when checking out an obvious "419" scam email I just received (regarding Swissair Flight 111), I thought you might like this addendum from today October 27, 2007 - more than a year and a half after the email you received and show in your post.

The content is similar, though Mr. Gambone's money is apparently now being handled by a "Barrister Chin L Liow Esq". And, apparently, the money wasn't from gas consulting in the UK but some mysterious contract with the Kingdom of Bahrain!

Some of the information seems to have degraded since the email you posted - the hyperlinks for the convincing facts are now "dumb", though still blue and underlined.

Oh, if any readers have such an interest, his email is: barrchinliow@yahoo.com (I'm going to hope some other scammers pick up this email in their trolling!)

Thanks for having posted the scam email you received!

Ivanna,

many thanks for your update. It goes to prove that any story is a good story. You just have to "adapt" it a little bit.

Michael
