23rd October 2022 - Advance Fee Fraud Scam

On 23rd October 2022, telephone number +353899492558 was reported as being used by scammers to pretend to be Moatmad Khaled Faraj Mansour using email address moatmad.mansour@gmail.com as part of an Advance Fee Fraud Scam.

In Advance Fee Fraud Scams, the scammer will offer you something of high value (a large sum of money or gold for example) and all you have to do is pay a "small" fee. What the scammer is offering you does not actually exist and the scammer will come up with fee after fee that needs to be paid by the victims, until he either runs out of money or realises that he has been scammed. The scammer will often pretend to be real people or companies, use fake websites and introduce various characters, all with the aim of convincing the victim that what is being offered to him is real.

Here is the email that the scammer sent to his victims.
Dear Sir,

This is to acknowledge the receipt of your email.

The total fund is One Hundred Forty-Nine Million Three Hundred Fifty-One Thousand Eighty-Seven cents ($149,351,000.87).

As soon as I have submitted the necessary documents I will demand proof of funds from the management of the bank.

As you have known that you are purporting to be the next of kin to my late client late Robert 'Roy’ Watterson who died in a plane crash in Australia.
He had funds deposited with a commercial bank he wanted to invest in telecommunication and only I and his work colleague that died with him are aware of the fund and the investment.

I contacted you to assist in repatriating the money that belonged to my client before it was declared serviceable by the bank management here in Ireland where the fund was lodged. I am assuring you that the transaction is 100% risk-free only if you adhere to my instruction.

In dealing with a deceased person’s money and property the following have to be put in place which I have done with your consent to bring the traction to this stage.
Let me explain in detail the process of administering a deceased person's Fund in Ireland.

If there is a WILL and an executor has been appointed, then the executor deals with the Fund. This means that they make sure that the spouse/civil partner is aware of the legal right to share and distribute the Fund in accordance with the will and the law.

If there is no WILL, or, if there is a WILL but there is no executor, an administrator is appointed - usually the next of kin or a solicitor.
In order to get authority to administer the fund, you must get a legal document called a Grant of Representation. This is a legal order that gives you the authority to administer (probate office) and register the deceased person's fund.

What is probate? Taking out probate means having the Probate Office or the appropriate District Probate Registry certify that the claim or will is valid and that all legal, financial and tax matters are in order.

Wills or claim only takes effect when the Probate Office accepts that the will is valid. The will is said to have been ‘proved’. The Probate Office may make some enquiries before making its decision, for example, it may require a sworn affidavit from one or both of the witnesses.

The Probate Registrar will make a decision if there is doubt about who is entitled to be the administrator. The administrator must give an administration bond to the Probate Office - this is a sort of guarantee that you will carry out your duties properly.

Capital Acquisition Tax
When probate has been granted, the Probate Office sends a copy of the Revenue Affidavit to the Revenue Commissioners.

The Revenue Commissioners will then issue a Form IT38 to each beneficiary who it understands may have a requirement to pay and file a CAT return. The obligation to pay and file a return rests with the beneficiary.

Having explained in detail how to receive or claim an inheritance fund, let me as well explain the stage we are at when probate has been granted. We need to get a letter of clearance from revenue to allow the fund to be transferred to you, pending investigations about capital acquisitions tax (CAT) as explained earlier, CAT is a form of inheritance tax.

My dear friend and dedicated partner kindly send a copy of your international passport and proof of address and private telephone.

On receiving the requested information, I will use it to secure Probate and Letters of Administration from the Probate Office and the District Probate Registry.

You will be known as the legal next of kin to my late client immediately after the documents have been secured.

I will file a letter of claim on your behalf to the bank with an affidavit, Probate and Letters of Administration.

Thank you once again for your willingness to assist, and I look forward to hearing from you. Your understanding and patience is highly needed to enable us to achieve this aim.

Find the attached copy of my documents for your personal peruse. In receipt of your photo ID and proof of address I will send you the death certificate and the forms that you have to fill and return to me for the probate and letter of administration.

Remember always to keep our discussion secret and confidential at all times.

Yours sincerely,

Moatmad Khaled Faraj Mansour.
+353899492558.
