Google shows that address changes from person to person so in all likelihood it is just a diversion.
I used to get emails like this after failed bids on ebay. The scammer would claim to have the same item for a better price. Great fun was had wasting their time. Anyway, message (with intentional mis-spellings and lashings of innuendo) sent: -------------------------------------------------- Dear Mr Almond, Thank you for your recent e-mail regarding your predickament regarding the Magellan Trust Funds Accunt.

Reply from Bruce Almond: ------------------------------------------------------- Dear Mr Winston Montgomery-Farquhar, I received your E-mail. Thanks and I do appreciate your concern.I sent you a business proposal for your consideration. I know that this will sound very strange and impossible to you but be rest assured that this is feasible and very achievable only with your cooperation. What I demand of you is your support, trust and understanding as I cannot achieve this goal without this qualities. This was the motive of contacting you since I cannot pull this deal successfully without an outside contact. I wish to give you 100% assurance that this is risk free and will not implicate any of us, all modalities has been put in place for a smooth transaction. As a professional I will be clear to you that this transaction will entail some degree of expenses but be rest assured that I will do my possible best to ensure that I take care of the expenses in this transaction because i do not intend to venture into this transaction with an empty hand. I believe that I have made adequate arrangements to take care of the expenses. All I seek from you is your maximum cooperation and absolute trust without which our efforts will not yield any results. You should give this a chance considering the many mails you may have received with similar offer, I am very willing to prove to you that this is just one of the genuine offers among so many fraudulent ones you may have received. The procedure of prosecuting the deal is listed below as well as the requirements from you to begin. EXPLANATION: I have more than 158 Corporate Investors attached to my PORTFOLIO whom Capital Investment Funds are been managed and administered by me alone. This Capital Investment Funds has a fixed value of US$244Billion. The $244billion is been used for trading in Stock Market, Crude Oil and Lending with Profit Returns. Every Year, each Corporate Investor is expected to receive 20% interest from his total Investment Capital Funds which is paid to the Investor annually as their Excess Maximum Return Capital Profit (EMRCP) However, between 2004 and 2006, I made average of 21.2% from the Investor's Investment Capital Funds annually which have exceeded our targeted 20% of Investment Total Investment Capital Funds. Following the recent recession from 2008, stocks have lost almost 50% of the values and investors are now skeptical of plunging their money into the capital market now. Most of our clients are now applying for a termination of their investment portfolio to enable them get their fund out as a larger recession is set to hit UK . On this note, the extra 1.2% from the 21.2% made between 2004 and 2006 is been retained by me as my personal profits for managing the Capital Investment. On the other hand, I cannot claim these funds without presenting someone to stand as an Investor otherwise our Establishment will convert the funds into the Company's Treasury. This is why I came to you for the deal to take place. TRANSACTION: I will open a file in your name as our Investor with some documents to be backdated to qualify you as our Investor so as to claim the £15.745 million. The file will be presented to our Governing Board Council for verification and approval and once your file is approved, you will be contacted to come down for signing of the Investor's Funds Release Order that will facilitate and expedite the transfer of the funds to your account through our Investment Bank. This is a fair deal without any risk attached on either on your part or on my part as long as we complied with the laws governing the claiming of funds in our establishment. This is not an experiment but actual facts have nurtured this transaction for over 8 months and this is the time for its execution. I have been in this system for over 15 years and know how it operates, this is the reason I informed you that I am not experimenting with this deal. REQUIREMENTS: You should forward to me all personal information's in the following manner: FULL NAME CONTACT ADDRESS COMPANY/POSITION/JOB TITLE PHONE/FAX NUMBERS COPY OF YOUR IDENTIFICATION (INTERNATIONAL PASSPORT OR DRIVERS LICENSE) DURATION: The deal is scheduled to last for only 14 working days depending on your response to my instructions, I will commence immediate preparations to meet with you in your country as I intend to probably relocate to your country if the condition is favorable and invest with your guidance. I will also draft a MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING (MOU) that will guide us in this deal. Please I want to know from you if you are capable of handling this deal because it means a lot to me at this point of my retirement from the company. It has taken me so many years to put this plan in place and now is the time to execute and this demands total cooperation from both parties. Like I assured you in my details that at my age I would not get involved in anything that will tarnish my image and reputation. I have built this image for many years and cannot afford to jeopardize it now so I must be sure that you can handle this transaction.If you are sure of handling this transaction then I will have to advise that you forward to me the below informations. My direct numbers are +44 7523548030 I will await your response. Thank you. Gob Bless! Bruce Almond ------------------------------------------------------- Pretty much a standard reply from the scammer. He says he may need to relocate to my country. Sounds like a good opportunity to ask him to send some photos so that we can help sort out a passport. What silly shit can we get him to do? I'm thinking, get him to dress up as Raiden while holding Sub Zero in a headlock.
