Here is another form of "you are the beneficiary of an unclaimed fund" scam. The name of the deceased rich person is Khalid. What a coincidence ...

From: Barrister Ebunie Johnson Nzewi

Good Day khalid,

This is to officially notify you on the unclaimed fund left by Mr.khalid, who was burnt to death with his entire family, in when their car collided with a trailer while they are coming back from a holiday in a resort off the town.

Just five gangs in Nigeria are responsible for most Craigslist buyer scams ...

This is another scam within a scam. People who get scammed are approached by other (or the same?) scammers claiming they are officials trying to catch the scammers and get back the money for the victims.

However, those who claim to be officials, local or international, are scammers themselves and are often able to scam the victim for more money than the origial scam was worth.

Here is an example of a man in India who was scammed by a person claiming to be from the non-existent United Nations Intelligence Bureau.

CHEATED MONEY
