Another scam, this time from Mr. Christopher Philips and attorney and Swiss citizen who has a client that died and would like me to have all the money. It’s all designed to take your hard earned money.
Funny thing is, the scammer forgot that he was working on two similar letters and sent this out with both combined :) Take a look…
The email is attached below:

Dear Friend,
I am Mr. Christopher Philips a Swiss citizen and Attorney based in United Kingdom. I am reaching out to you in respect of an investment opportunity.
I am soliciting your assistance in repatriating the funds and property left behind by my late client before it will be declared unserviceable by the bank, where the huge deposit is lodged or confiscated by the government. My Client died intestate and every attempt to trace any member of his family has proved unsuccessful as he died with his entire first family.
I, Mr. Christopher Philips, contacted you because you bear the same last name and do note that your identity or country of origin does not matter. I will give you more information upon your response.
If this proposal is acceptable to you, kindly email your following information to me for further confirmation.
A. Private telephone and fax numbers.
B. Your postal/residential address
C. Identification/Occupation.
I humbly look forward to your soonest response.
Yours Faithfully,

Hello,
I am Mr. Christopher Philips from London .I am an account officer to Mr. Rafik Hariri, Born in Lebanon in 1944, The late Rafik Hariri was a Lebanese self-made billionaire and business tycoon, and was five times Prime Minister of Lebanon. You can view this site for confirmation.

Mr. Rafiak Hariri deposited 36,759,000 million British Pounds in our bank here in London. The need to move out this money arose when the Prime Minister Gordon Brown said that some of the money held in dormant accounts would be used to fund youth and community projects. you can confirm this in the website.
