This scam was submitted by a reader who commented “What’s “Chuckles” doing, messing with Apex Bank? Doesn’t matter, ‘cuz it’s canned spam, so be smart and delete it.”
Her advise is good. Ignore anyone who emails you claiming to have millions of dollars in inheritance money for you from relatives you know nothing about.

TELEX: CENBANK.
PAYMENT FILE: CBN/BEN/09.Attn: Beneficiary
PAYMENT NOTIFICATION OF YOUR FUNDS.
Definitely, I know that this letter will be a surprising one to You. Firstly, I will like to introduce myself formally as Prof.
Charles Soludo, the Executive Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). You are been officially contacted by me today
because your Inheritance Funds/Contract were Re-deposited into the “Federal Suspense Account” of CBN last week, because you did
not forward your Claim As the Right beneficiary. Well known to all, The Central Bank of Nigeria is the mother Bank of all commercial
Banks here in Nigeria. Really these men were unexpected by me because their visit was impromptu.i had to ask them why they came
to see me in person And they said that they were here to collect the Inheritance Bill Sum of (US$20,000,000) which rightfully belongs
to you, on your Behalf.At this development I asked them who authorized them to come down To Nigeria for the Collection of this Payment and they told me
That you asked them to come and collect this Funds on your Behalf. infact this was the biggest shock that this Bank have ever
Received so far because your Inheritance Funds is still in the “Federal Suspense Account” of CBN, yet you sent these men to come
and collect this Funds on your behalf without notifying us. We in this Bank do not understand why you sent these men to come and
Collect your Funds on your behalf. If actually you want them to help you Collect your Inheritance Bill Sum, at least you should
have informed me as the Executive Governor of this Bank.They actually tendered some Vital Documents which Proved that you actually sent them for the Collection of this Funds.
Honestly, it really baffles me that you took such decision without my consent. Here are the Document which they tendered
to this Bank today:1. DEATH CERTIFICATE.
2. HIGH COURT INJUCTION.
3. ORDER TO RELEASE.I refused there prayer because the following documents were missing.
1.LETTER OF ADMINISTRATION AND POWER OF ATTORNEY ENDORSED BY YOU.
Actually, these Documents which they tendered to this Noble Bank is a clear Proof that you sent them to Collect this Funds for you.
Finally,I told them to come back tomorrow morning and they promised To come back. As the Governor of this Noble Bank, I was
supposed to Release this Fund to them but I refused to do so because I wanted to hear from you first so that you could provide (LETTER OF ADMINISTRATION AND POWER OF ATTORNEY).Due to the Nature of my job, i will not want to make any mistake in Releasing this Funds to anyone except you whom is the
Recognized Bonafide Beneficiary to this Funds.Kindly clarify us on this issue before we make this Payment to these foreigners whom came on your behalf. In receipt of this
Confidential Letter, you are required to call this Bank on this number: +234 1 7938496.OFFICIALLY SIGNED.

Wow. My mom got scammed too, to cut the story short these scammers also managed to send us a bank credit card stating to have millions on it but we have to pay the tax department in order to activate the card. We all fell for it and believed it was legit since Mr Benjamin told us to test the card if it works in Africa by withdrawing 400rand which did came out from the atm.
How on earth can we get these scammers because they’re so professional and sound to true

Hello ,
Thanks for your response.
I am Richard Anthony – Senior Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Evercore Private Funds Group.
Do understand that in a bid to explain this modalities of this transaction, I am sending you a very lengthy message which I indulge you to read carefully for better understanding.
I am contacting you concerning a deceased customer and an investment he placed with our bank management five years ago. The content of this communication has to be treated with utmost confidentiality, to avoid unnecessary complications.
I contacted you independently of our investigation and no one is informed of this communication, I would like to intimate you about certain facts that I believe would be of interest to you.
In 2009, the subject matter, Engineer Daniel Matamba came to our bank to engage in business discussions with our private banking division.
He informed us that he had a financial portfolio of Twenty Five Million Great Britain Pound Sterling, which he instructed us to turn over (invest) on his behalf. I was the officer assigned to his case, I made numerous suggestions in line with my duties as the de-facto chief operations officer of the private banking sector, especially given the volume of funds he wished to put into our bank. We met on numerous occasions and discussed about viable investment opportunities.
I encouraged him to consider various growth funds with prime ratings. I invested his funds into trading in Stock Market, Crude Oil and Lending with Profit Returns, as my specialty is to advise customers to invest healthy and yield good profit. Based on my advice, we spun the money around various opportunities and made attractive margins for our first months of operation, the accrued profit and interest stood out and my client was glad with the returns.
In mid-2010, he asked that the money be liquidated because he needed to make an urgent landed property investment requiring cash payments in Spain. He directed that i liquidate the funds and deposit it with a security firm in a private Bank. I informed him that we will have to make special arrangements to have this done and in order not to circumvent due process, the bank would have to make a 9.5 % deduction from the funds to cater for banking and statutory charges. He complained about the charges but later came around when I explained to him the complexities of the task he was asking of us. Cash movement across borders has become especially strict since the incidents of 9/11. I contacted my affiliate here in London and made the funds available to the security firm.
I undertook all the processes and made sure I followed his precise instructions to the letter and had the funds deposited at the private Bank, (private Bank) a specialist private Bank that accepts deposits from high net worth individuals and blue chip corporations that handle valuable products or undertake transactions that need immediate access to cash.
This small and highly private Bank is familiar especially to the highly placed and well-connected organizations. In line with instructions, the money was deposited with a private Bank. The deceased told me he wanted the money there in anticipation of his arrival from MALTA later that week. This was the last communication we had, this transpired around 25th October 2010. In June last year, we got a call from the Bank informing us about the activity of that particular portfolio.
This was an astounding position as far as I was concerned, given the fact that I managed the private banking sector I was the only one who knew about the deposit at the private Bank, and I could not understand why my client had not come forward to claim his deposit. I made futile efforts to locate the Client. I immediately passed the task of locating him to the internal investigations department of Bristol & West. Two weeks later, information trickled in, apparently our client was dead. A person who suited his description was declared dead of a heart attack in Cannes, South of France.
As part of our duty, we made effort to identify him, and confirmed the news about his death. The Bank immediately launched an investigation into possible surviving next of kin to alert about the situation and also to come forward to claim his estate. If you are familiar with private banking affairs, those who patronize our services usually prefer anonymity, but also some levels of detachment from conventional processes. In his bio-data form, he listed no next of kin.
In the field of private banking, opening an account with us means no one will know of its existence, accounts are rarely held under a name; depositors use numbers and codes to make the accounts anonymous. This bank also gives the choice to depositors of having their mail sent to them or held at the bank itself, ensuring that there are no traces of the account and as I said, rarely do they nominate next of kin. Private banking clients apart from not nominating next of kin also usually in most cases leave wills in our care, in this case; the deceased died without a testate.
In line with our internal processes for account holders who have passed away, we instituted our own investigations in good faith to determine who should have right to claim the estate. This investigation has for the past months been unfruitful. We have scanned every continent and used our private investigation affiliate companies to get to the root of the problem. It is this investigation that resulted in me being furnished with your details as a possible relative of the deceased. My official capacity dictates that I am the only party to supervise the investigation and the only party to receive the results of the investigation. What this means, you being the last batch of names we have considered, is that our dear late Client died with no or identifiable family member. This leaves me as the only person with the full picture of what the prevailing situation is in relation to the deposit and the late beneficiary of the deposit.
According to practice, the private Bank will by the end of this financial year broadcast a request for statements of claim to Bristol & West, failing to receive viable claims they will probably revert the deposit back to Bristol & West. This will result in the money entering the Bristol & West accounting system and the portfolio will be out of my hands and out of the private Bank division. This will not happen if I have my way. What I wish to relate to you will sound unethical to my practice, but I want you to understand something. It is only an outsider to the banking world who finds the internal politics of the banking world aberrational. The world of private banking especially is fraught with huge rewards for those who occupy certain offices and oversee certain portfolio.
You should have begun by now to put together the general direction of what I propose. I alone have the deposit details and they will release the deposit to no one unless I instruct them to do so. I know of the existence of the deposit and as far as Bristol & West is concerned, the transaction with our late customer concluded when I sent the funds to a private Bank all outstanding interactions in relation to the file are just customer services and due process.
The Bank has no single idea about the history or nature of the deposit. They are simply awaiting instructions to release the deposit to any party that comes forward. This is the situation. The bank has spent great amounts of money trying to track the deceased Client family, they have investigated for months and have found no family. The investigation has come to an end. My proposal, you share similar details to the late fellow, I am prepared to place you in a position as the Next of Kin to the Private Bank to release the deposit to you as the closest surviving relation.
Upon receipt of the deposit, I am prepared to share the money with you in half. I will simply nominate you as the next of kin and have them release the deposit to you. We share the proceeds 50/50. I would have gone ahead to ask the funds be released to me, but that would have drawn a straight line to me and my involvement in claiming the deposit. I assure you that I could have the deposit released to you within a few days. I will simply inform the bank of the final closing of the file relating to the deceased I will then officially communicate with the Private Bank and instruct them to release the deposit to you. The alternative would be for us to have the Private Bank direct the funds to another bank, where you are a beneficiary of the account.
This way there will be no need for you to think of traveling to lay claim to the money from the Private Bank. We can fine-tune this based on our interactions. I am aware of the consequences of this proposal. If you find no interest in this project, please discard this mail. I ask that you do not be vindictive and destructive. If my offer is of no appeal to you, delete this message and forget I ever contacted you.
Do not destroy my career if you do not approve of my proposal. You may not know this, but people like me who have made tidy sums out of comparable situations run the whole private banking sector. I am not a criminal and what I do, I do not fight against good conscience, this may be hard for you to understand, but the dynamics of my industry dictates that I make this move. Such opportunities only come once in a lifetime. I cannot let this chance pass me by, for once I find myself in total control of my destiny. These chances won’t pass me by. I ask that you do not destroy my chance, if you will not work with me let me know and let me move on with my life but do not destroy me.
I am a family man and this is an opportunity to provide them with new opportunities. There is a reward for this project and it is a task well worth undertaking. I have evaluated the risks and the only risk I have here is from you refusing to work with me and alerting my bank. I am the only one who knows of this situation, good fortune has blessed you with a name that has planted you into the center of relevance in my life. Let’s share the blessing. If you find yourself able to work with me, contact me through this same email account. If you give me positive signals, I will initiate this process towards a conclusion. I wish to inform you that should you contact me via official channels; I will deny knowing you and about this project.
I repeat, I do not want you contacting me through my official phone lines nor do I want you contacting me through my official email account. Contact me only through my private mobile, also through this email address. I do not want any direct link between you and me. My official lines are not secure lines as they are periodically monitored to assess our level of customer care in line with our Total Quality Management (TQM).
Please observe this instruction religiously. Please again, note I am a family man, I have a wife and 3 children. I send you this mail not without a measure of fear as to what the consequences, but I know within me that nothing ventured is nothing gained and that success and riches never come easy or on a platter of gold. This is the one truth I have learnt from my private banking clients. Do not betray my confidence if we can be of one accord.
Kind Regards,
Richard Anthony

Thanks for your response.
I am Richard Anthony – Senior Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Evercore’s Private Funds Group.
Do understand that in a bid to explain this modalities of this transaction, i am sending you a very lengthy message which i indulge you to read carefully for better understanding.
I am contacting you concerning a deceased customer and an investment he placed with our bank management five years ago. The content of this communication has to be treated with utmost confidentiality, to avoid unnecessary complications.
I contacted you independently of our investigation and no one is informed of this communication, I would like to intimate you about certain facts that I believe would be of interest to you.
In 2009, the subject matter, Engineer Daniel Motaung came to our bank to engage in business discussions with our private banking division.
He informed us that he had a financial portfolio of Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Pound, which he instructed us to turn over (invest) on his behalf. I was the officer assigned to his case, I made numerous suggestions in line with my duties as the de-facto chief operations officer of the private banking sector, especially given the volume of funds he wished to put into our bank. We met on numerous occasions and discussed about viable investment opportunities.
I encouraged him to consider various growth funds with prime ratings. I invested his funds into trading in Stock Market, Crude Oil and Lending with Profit Returns, as my specialty is to advise customers to invest healthy and yield good profit. Based on my advice, we spun the money around various opportunities and made attractive margins for our first months of operation, the accrued profit and interest stood out and my client was glad with the returns.
In mid-2010, he asked that the money be liquidated because he needed to make an urgent landed property investment requiring cash payments in Spain. He directed that i liquidate the funds and deposit it with a security firm in a private Bank. I informed him that Tesco Bank would have to make special arrangements to have this done and in order not to circumvent due process, the bank would have to make a 9.5 % deduction from the funds to cater for banking and statutory charges. He complained about the charges but later came around when I explained to him the complexities of the task he was asking of us. Cash movement across borders has become especially strict since the incidents of 9/11. I contacted my affiliate here in London and made the funds available to the security firm.
I undertook all the processes and made sure I followed his precise instructions to the letter and had the funds deposited at the private Bank, (private Bank) is a specialist private Bank that accepts deposits from high net worth individuals and blue chip corporations that handle valuable products or undertake transactions that need immediate access to cash.
This small and highly private Bank is familiar especially to the highly placed and well-connected organizations. In line with instructions, the money was deposited with a private Bank. The deceased told me he wanted the money there in anticipation of his arrival from MALTA later that week. This was the last communication we had, this transpired around 25th October 2010. In June last year, we got a call from the Bank informing us about the activity of that particular portfolio.
This was an astounding position as far as I was concerned, given the fact that I managed the private banking sector I was the only one who knew about the deposit at the private Bank, and I could not understand why the Client had not come forward to claim his deposit. I made futile efforts to locate the Client. I immediately passed the task of locating him to the internal investigations department of Bristol & West. Four days later, information trickled in, apparently our client was dead. A person who suited his description was declared dead of a heart attack in Cannes, South of France.
As part of our duty, we made effort to identify him, and confirmed the news about his death. The bank immediately launched an investigation into possible surviving next of kin to alert about the situation and also to come forward to claim his estate. If you are familiar with private banking affairs, those who patronize our services usually prefer anonymity, but also some levels of detachment from conventional processes. In his bio-data form, he listed no next of kin.
In the field of private banking, opening an account with us means no one will know of its existence, accounts are rarely held under a name; depositors use numbers and codes to make the accounts anonymous. This bank also gives the choice to depositors of having their mail sent to them or held at the bank itself, ensuring that there are no traces of the account and as I said, rarely do they nominate next of kin. Private banking clients apart from not nominating next of kin also usually in most cases leave wills in our care, in this case; the deceased died without a testate.
In line with our internal processes for account holders who have passed away, we instituted our own investigations in good faith to determine who should have right to claim the estate. This investigation has for the past months been unfruitful. We have scanned every continent and used our private investigation affiliate companies to get to the root of the problem. It is this investigation that resulted in my being furnished with your details as a possible relative of the deceased. My official capacity dictates that I am the only party to supervise the investigation and the only party to receive the results of the investigation. What this means, you being the last batch of names we have considered, is that our dear late Client died with no or identifiable family member. This leaves me as the only person with the full picture of what the prevailing situation is in relation to the deposit and the late beneficiary of the deposit.
According to practice, the private Bank will by the end of this financial year broadcast a request for statements of claim to Bristol & West, failing to receive viable claims they will probably revert the deposit back to Bristol & West. This will result in the money entering the Bristol & West accounting system and the portfolio will be out of my hands and out of the private Bank division. This will not happen if I have my way. What I wish to relate to you will sound unethical to my practice, but I want you to understand something. It is only an outsider to the banking world who finds the internal politics of the banking world aberrational. The world of private banking especially is fraught with huge rewards for those who occupy certain offices and oversee certain portfolio.
You should have begun by now to put together the general direction of what I propose. I alone have the deposit details and they will release the deposit to no one unless I instruct them to do so. I know of the existence of the deposit and as far as Bristol & West is concerned, the transaction with our late customer concluded when I sent the funds to a private Bank all outstanding interactions in relation to the file are just customer services and due process.
The Bank has no single idea of about, the history or nature of the deposit. They are simply awaiting instructions to release the deposit to any party that comes forward. This is the situation. The bank has spent great amounts of money trying to track the deceased Client family, they have investigated for months and have found no family. The investigation has come to an end. My proposal, you share similar details to the late fellow, I am prepared to place you in a position as the Next of Kin to the Private Bank to release the deposit to you as the closest surviving relation.
Upon receipt of the deposit, I am prepared to share the money with you in half. That is, i will simply nominate you as the next of kin and have them release the deposit to you. We share the proceeds 50/50. I would have gone ahead to ask the funds be released to me, but that would have drawn a straight line to me and my involvement in claiming the deposit. I assure you that I could have the deposit released to you within a few days. I will simply inform the bank of the final closing of the file relating to the deceased I will then officially communicate with the Private Bank and instruct them to release the deposit to you. The alternative would be for us to have the Private Bank direct the funds to another bank, where you are a beneficiary of the Account.
This way there will be no need for you to think of traveling to lay claim to the money from the Private Bank. We can fine-tune this based on our interactions. I am aware of the consequences of this proposal. If you find no interest in this project, please discard this mail. I ask that you do not be vindictive and destructive. If my offer is of no appeal to you, delete this message and forget I ever contacted you.
Do not destroy my career because you do not approve of my proposal. You may not know this but people like me who have made tidy sums out of comparable situations run the whole private banking sector. I am not a criminal and what i do, I do not fight against good conscience, this may be hard for you to understand, but the dynamics of my industry dictates that I make this move. Such opportunities only come once in a lifetime. I cannot let this chance pass me by, for once I find myself in total control of my destiny. These chances won’t pass me by. I ask that you do not destroy my chance, if you will not work with me let me know and let me move on with my life but do not destroy me.
I am a family man and this is an opportunity to provide them with new opportunities. There is a reward for this project and it is a task well worth undertaking. I have evaluated the risks and the only risk I have here is from you refusing to work with me and alerting my bank. I am the only one who knows of this situation, good fortune has blessed you with a name that has planted you into the center of relevance in my life. Let’s Share the blessing. If you find yourself able to work with me, contact me through this same email account. If you give me positive signals, I will initiate this process towards a conclusion. I wish to inform you that should you contact me via official channels; I will deny knowing you and about this project.
I repeat, I do not want you contacting me through my official phone lines nor do I want you contacting me through my official email account. Contact me only through my private mobile, also through this email address. I do not want any direct link between you and me. My official lines are not secure lines as they are periodically monitored to assess our level of customer care in line with our Total Quality Management (TQM).
Please observe this instruction religiously. Please again, note I am a family man, I have a wife and 3 children.

I was sent the same message a few weeks ago,told him to f@ck off and that he does not know how to earn a honest penny.
April 4, 2018 @ 3:05 pm
I received the following email several weeks ago.
Dear xxxxx,
Thanks for your urgent responds.
I Am Brian Mackenzie – Chief Executive Officer of the Prudential Regulation Authority. Banking at Bank For international settlement (https://www.bis.org/)
Please ignored the length of this message and take your time to read this message for your understanding as this is very important.
I am contacting you concerning a deceased customer and an investment he placed under our banks management years ago. I would respectfully request that you keep the contents of this mail confidential and respect the integrity of the information you come by as a result of this mail.
I contacted you independently of our investigation and no one is informed of this communication, I would like to intimate you with certain facts that I believe would be of interest to you.
In 2009, the subject matter: Engineer Sylvester Tshili. Came to our bank to engage in business discussions with our private banking division.
He informed us that he had a financial portfolio of Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Pound, which he wished to have us turn over (invest) on his behalf. I was the officer assigned to his case, I made numerous suggestions in line with my duties as the de-facto chief operations officer of the private banking sector, especially given the volume of funds he wished to put into our bank. We met on numerous occasions prior to any investments being placed.
I encouraged him to consider various growth funds with prime ratings. The favored route in my advice to customers is to start by accessing data on 6000 traditional stocks and bond managers and 2000 managers of alternative investments. Based on my advice, we spun the money around various opportunities and made attractive margins for our first months of operation, the accrued profit and interest stood at this point at over Three Hundred Thousand United States Dollars, this margin was not the full potential of the fund but he desired low risk guarantied returns on investments.
In mid-2010, he asked that the money be liquidated because he needed to make an urgent landed property investment requiring cash payments in Kingdom of Spain. He directed that I liquidate the funds and deposit it with a security firm in a private Bank. I informed him that HSBC would have to make special arrangements to have this done and in order not to circumvent due process, the bank would have to make a 9.5 % deduction from the funds to cater for banking and statutory charges. He complained about the charges but later came around when I explained to him the complexities of the task he was asking of us. Cash movement across borders has become especially strict since the incidents of 9/11. I contacted my affiliate here in London and made the funds
Available to the security firm.

Hi,Thank you everyone for the comments my name is Nuraan i received a text message with a email address and i had to contact this guy urgently i took the time to email this person known as bejamin broadbent that required some information he told me what i should do to open a bank account and the moment they asked me to email them identification i became scpetical and decided to investigate myself.I know i was wrong i found it to good to be true but i honestly feel this people should get locked uo luckily i did not email any personal paperwork.

I was also scammed by these no good SOB’s. How do they get hold of your email adress and how do they know who in your family died with the same name. This Bennie Higgins becomes your best friend and then your personal information is in their hands forever. I still feel like an absolute loser just because I blindly went with this and didn’t pay attention to all the telltail signs of fraud.
I got scammed out of R28767-00 and they wanted more than R300 000. I ended up asking a friend in the UK to do some investigation and found that the so-called Apex Bank never exists. All the numbers are cellphone numbers. The adress 50 Notting Hill Gate shows a little Loyds bank in Nottinghill. The IP adress of most of the mails I received is actually sent from one computer but my knowledge to this is limited to find out more. When I got alittle upset and started pushing the lady Patricia started getting rude and the bennie guy was more like we need to wrap this up a.s.a.p.
I notified the FCA and Actionfraud in the UK but with our local police couldn’t even make a case .
My advice to people is that even when it seems good and true. Be alert. You loose your everyhing.
As we think we know alot about the laws, there aint much we are realy informed about international laws when it gets to inheritance. Speak to your laywer first and let them handle this. There is alot of paperwork to be filled and not just a letter of deposit , some assholl laywer letter knowing you that he the agent gets in record time and the last will. You pay a certain amoumt to have the law sort this out and not you pay to have your identity stolen.
They go about using your information to scam and cause alot of financial problems for you causing you to be in the wrong when all you did was blindly believing that uncle Sylvester or aunt Vera left you something because they visited with the folks and you have a picture of them or with them.

I also received this guyz
Dear: Cynthia Ntombi Mahlangu,
Thanks for your response.
I am Richard Anthony – Senior Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Evercore’s Private Funds Group.
Do understand that in a bid to explain this modalities of this transaction, i am sending you a very lengthy message which i indulge you to read carefully for better understanding.
I am contacting you concerning a deceased customer and an investment he placed with our bank management five years ago. The content of this communication has to be treated with utmost confidentiality, to avoid unnecessary complications.
I contacted you independently of our investigation and no one is informed of this communication, I would like to intimate you about certain facts that I believe would be of interest to you.
In 2009, the subject matter, Engineer Daniel Mahlangu came to our bank to engage in business discussions with our private banking division.
He informed us that he had a financial portfolio of Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Pound, which he instructed us to turn over (invest) on his behalf. I was the officer assigned to his case, I made numerous suggestions in line with my duties as the de-facto chief operations officer of the private banking sector, especially given the volume of funds he wished to put into our bank. We met on numerous occasions and discussed about viable investment opportunities.
I encouraged him to consider various growth funds with prime ratings. I invested his funds into trading in Stock Market, Crude Oil and Lending with Profit Returns, as my specialty is to advise customers to invest healthy and yield good profit. Based on my advice, we spun the money around various opportunities and made attractive margins for our first months of operation, the accrued profit and interest stood out and my client was glad with the returns.
In mid-2010, he asked that the money be liquidated because he needed to make an urgent landed property investment requiring cash payments in Spain. He directed that i liquidate the funds and deposit it with a security firm in a private Bank. I informed him that Tesco Bank would have to make special arrangements to have this done and in order not to circumvent due process, the bank would have to make a 9.5 % deduction from the funds to cater for banking and statutory charges. He complained about the charges but later came around when I explained to him the complexities of the task he was asking of us. Cash movement across borders has become especially strict since the incidents of 9/11. I contacted my affiliate here in London and made the funds available to the security firm.
I undertook all the processes and made sure I followed his precise instructions to the letter and had the funds deposited at the private Bank, (private Bank) is a specialist private Bank that accepts deposits from high net worth individuals and blue chip corporations that handle valuable products or undertake transactions that need immediate access to cash.
This small and highly private Bank is familiar especially to the highly placed and well-connected organizations. In line with instructions, the money was deposited with a private Bank. The deceased told me he wanted the money there in anticipation of his arrival from MALTA later that week. This was the last communication we had, this transpired around 25th October 2010. In June last year, we got a call from the Bank informing us about the activity of that particular portfolio.
This was an astounding position as far as I was concerned, given the fact that I managed the private banking sector I was the only one who knew about the deposit at the private Bank, and I could not understand why the Client had not come forward to claim his deposit. I made futile efforts to locate the Client. I immediately passed the task of locating him to the internal investigations department of Bristol & West. Four days later, information trickled in, apparently our client was dead. A person who suited his description was declared dead of a heart attack in Cannes, South of France.
As part of our duty, we made effort to identify him, and confirmed the news about his death. The bank immediately launched an investigation into possible surviving next of kin to alert about the situation and also to come forward to claim his estate. If you are familiar with private banking affairs, those who patronize our services usually prefer anonymity, but also some levels of detachment from conventional processes. In his bio-data form, he listed no next of kin.
In the field of private banking, opening an account with us means no one will know of its existence, accounts are rarely held under a name; depositors use numbers and codes to make the accounts anonymous. This bank also gives the choice to depositors of having their mail sent to them or held at the bank itself, ensuring that there are no traces of the account and as I said, rarely do they nominate next of kin. Private banking clients apart from not nominating next of kin also usually in most cases leave wills in our care, in this case; the deceased died without a testate.
In line with our internal processes for account holders who have passed away, we instituted our own investigations in good faith to determine who should have right to claim the estate. This investigation has for the past months been unfruitful. We have scanned every continent and used our private investigation affiliate companies to get to the root of the problem. It is this investigation that resulted in my being furnished with your details as a possible relative of the deceased. My official capacity dictates that I am the only party to supervise the investigation and the only party to receive the results of the investigation. What this means, you being the last batch of names we have considered, is that our dear late Client died with no or identifiable family member. This leaves me as the only person with the full picture of what the prevailing situation is in relation to the deposit and the late beneficiary of the deposit.
According to practice, the private Bank will by the end of this financial year broadcast a request for statements of claim to Bristol & West, failing to receive viable claims they will probably revert the deposit back to Bristol & West. This will result in the money entering the Bristol & West accounting system and the portfolio will be out of my hands and out of the private Bank division. This will not happen if I have my way. What I wish to relate to you will sound unethical to my practice, but I want you to understand something. It is only an outsider to the banking world who finds the internal politics of the banking world aberrational. The world of private banking especially is fraught with huge rewards for those who occupy certain offices and oversee certain portfolio.
You should have begun by now to put together the general direction of what I propose. I alone have the deposit details and they will release the deposit to no one unless I instruct them to do so. I know of the existence of the deposit and as far as Bristol & West is concerned, the transaction with our late customer concluded when I sent the funds to a private Bank all outstanding interactions in relation to the file are just customer services and due process.
The Bank has no single idea of about, the history or nature of the deposit. They are simply awaiting instructions to release the deposit to any party that comes forward. This is the situation. The bank has spent great amounts of money trying to track the deceased Client family, they have investigated for months and have found no family. The investigation has come to an end. My proposal, you share similar details to the late fellow, I am prepared to place you in a position as the Next of Kin to the Private Bank to release the deposit to you as the closest surviving relation.
Upon receipt of the deposit, I am prepared to share the money with you in half. That is, i will simply nominate you as the next of kin and have them release the deposit to you. We share the proceeds 50/50. I would have gone ahead to ask the funds be released to me, but that would have drawn a straight line to me and my involvement in claiming the deposit. I assure you that I could have the deposit released to you within a few days. I will simply inform the bank of the final closing of the file relating to the deceased I will then officially communicate with the Private Bank and instruct them to release the deposit to you. The alternative would be for us to have the Private Bank direct the funds to another bank, where you are a beneficiary of the Account.
This way there will be no need for you to think of traveling to lay claim to the money from the Private Bank. We can fine-tune this based on our interactions. I am aware of the consequences of this proposal. If you find no interest in this project, please discard this mail. I ask that you do not be vindictive and destructive. If my offer is of no appeal to you, delete this message and forget I ever contacted you.
Do not destroy my career because you do not approve of my proposal. You may not know this but people like me who have made tidy sums out of comparable situations run the whole private banking sector. I am not a criminal and what i do, I do not fight against good conscience, this may be hard for you to understand, but the dynamics of my industry dictates that I make this move. Such opportunities only come once in a lifetime. I cannot let this chance pass me by, for once I find myself in total control of my destiny. These chances won’t pass me by. I ask that you do not destroy my chance, if you will not work with me let me know and let me move on with my life but do not destroy me.
I am a family man and this is an opportunity to provide them with new opportunities. There is a reward for this project and it is a task well worth undertaking. I have evaluated the risks and the only risk I have here is from you refusing to work with me and alerting my bank. I am the only one who knows of this situation, good fortune has blessed you with a name that has planted you into the center of relevance in my life. Let’s Share the blessing. If you find yourself able to work with me, contact me through this same email account. If you give me positive signals, I will initiate this process towards a conclusion. I wish to inform you that should you contact me via official channels; I will deny knowing you and about this project.
I repeat, I do not want you contacting me through my official phone lines nor do I want you contacting me through my official email account. Contact me only through my private mobile, also through this email address. I do not want any direct link between you and me. My official lines are not secure lines as they are periodically monitored to assess our level of customer care in line with our Total Quality Management (TQM).
Please observe this instruction religiously. Please again, note I am a family man, I have a wife and 3 children. I send you this mail not without a measure of fear as to what the consequences, but I know within me that nothing ventured is nothing gained and that success and riches never come easy or on a platter of gold. This is the one truth I have learnt from my private banking clients. Do not betray my confidence if we can be of one accord.
Best Regards,
Richard Anthony

Good day,
I am from South Africa and a week ago I was informed that I inherit a sum of 2.5million pounds from late Silvestor Pretotius by “Benny Higens” corresponding through “Patrecia Hugan” from First Apex Bank, sending me all the necessary deposit certificate, his will and a sworn affidavit from an attorney Barrister Bowman Gilfillan of Bowman Gilfillan Associates also mentioned that I have to open a online account with first apex bank and there was 4 options to choose from, playing with I choose option a, regular account and there after a corporate invoice was mailed through to me from Anthony Parker chief financial officer of first apex bank requesting me to pay the amount of R28500.00in to a Capitec bank in South Africa with account holder name MS Mokete, account no 1544436635 strange to me every thing look so legit, but scammers like this you came across every once in a wile, Contact no pictures of them as well as e mails was send through and still these people operate daily, with out any consequences fortunately for me, I pick it up the moment the first document came through to my email as wel as the fact that capitec do not deal with foreign accounts as well as the mere fact that I as a client have to pay for opening an account to get my inheritance, good luck for them
November 13, 2017 @ 6:33 pm

October 6, 2017 @ 9:46 pm
On several occasions people from Nigeria and Ghana have tried to scam me in different ways but it’s always money they try to get out of me. Recently saying that the Access Bank of Nigeria hold an inheritance of $7.5 million dollars. They wanted me to send £585.00 to have my Creditation checked. I was also told to open up a Bank Account with Reliance Bank UK. giving an address in Manchester UK and mobile phone numbers only. I knew it was a scam but I needed to see how far they would go, they even lowered from the £585 to just £30.00. These people will go to any strength to get money out of you so do not be fooled. On one occasion I even had one offering to send me money only I had to send money to if it sent to me. These people will try anything to try and get your money.
August 15, 2017 @ 2:08 pm
I was nearly caught with the same trick. Again Patrcia Hugan of First Apex Bank London this time a Martha Smith an consultant was the person calling me. These people are very well informed. I do have an Uncle Sylvester that lived in London. Passed away approximately a year ago and never been married. Just would like to know how they got my contact information.
Please people be careful
July 26, 2017 @ 3:01 pm
ooh my god I’ve almost been scammed myself by somebody claiming to be Bernard Higgins guy claims a client of his who’s surname is the same as mine passed away living a huge amount of money with no next of kin to claim the fund I almost fell for it until a Patrica Hugan who is supposedly an online manager/director of operation from first apex bank advised I pay a massive amount of cash in order to activate an offshore account since the money is in the custody of first apex bank in the United Kingdom and I’m in South Africa it all became clear then because if I’ve inherited so much money why is it then that I have to pay the bank for any services cause banks usually deduct any costs from your money which is already in their custody ooh my God I’m still in shock these guys are so good they even sent a will & proof of funds and they look legitimate please be warned people do not believe them….

I AM AN AMERICAN/ATTORNEY ATTACHED WITH THE APEX BANK OF LONDON (THAT IS THE CENTRAL BANK HERE/BANK OF ENGLAND) FOR ALMOST SIX YEARS AS AN ACCREDITED ATTORNEY WITH THE BANK AND DO LIVE HERE IN ENGLAND WITH MY FAMILY.
I HAVE STUDIED THE CO-ORDINATES OF YOUR PAYMENT PROCESS THROUGH THE MONITORING UNIT OF MY PRIVATE CHAMBER HERE IN THIS COUNTRY AND DID JUST FIND OUT THAT YOU HAVE AN OUTSTANDING FUND TO BE TRANSFERED INTO YOUR DESIGNATED BANK ACCOUNT IN YOUR COUNTRY, BUT THE CORRUPTION HERE WILL NOT ALLOW THE OFFICIALS TO ACTUALLY EFFECT THE TRANSFER OF YOUR LONG OVER-DUE FUND INTO YOUR DESIGNATED BANK ACCOUNT.THERE IS THIS RACKET IN LONDON BEING HEADED MOSTLY BY FOREIGNERS (AFRICANS) HERE NOW, WHERE GROUP OF PEOPLE COME TOGETHER AND PUT UP A MAKE BELIEF BANK TO DEFRAUD INTERNATIONAL INVESTORS, BENEFICIARIES AND CONTRACTORS IN THE BRITISH BANKS.THIS WAS FOUND OUT LATELY, WHERE THE PAYMENT RELEASE ORDER FROM THE UNION BANK LONDON TO STANDARD BANK PLC LONDON, WAS SWITCHED BY THIS FRAUDULENT GROUP AND CHANGED THE COPY TO STANDARD ASSURANCE BANK UK, INSTEAD OF THE ORIGINAL STANDARD BANK PLC AND DIVERTED THE COPY OF THE PAYMENT ADVISE MEANT FOR STANDARD BANK PLC LONDON.THEY DO TELL INTERNATIONAL BENEFICIARIES A LOT OF STORIES TO TRANSFER MONEY AND DEFRAUD THEM OF HUGE SUMS OF MONEY TO PERPETRATE THERE FRAUDULENT ACTIVITIES. SOME TIMES THEIR PURPORTED BANKS USE ORDINARY EMAIL ADDRESSES LIKE YAHOO, HOTMAIL AND I WONDER HOW BENEFICIARIES FALLS FOR THESE. THE CONCERNED FOREIGN AND BRITISH GOVERNMENT IS WORKING SERIOUSLY AGAINST THIS, BUT IN THE DARK AS IT MIGHT BRING DOWN THE COOPERATE IMAGE OF UK BANKS, YOU KNOW GOVERNMENT BUREAUCRACY.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION, ALL THE MONEY YOU HAVE BEEN SPENDING, ARE BEING USED BY THIS FAKE OFFICIALS TO WORK AGAINST YOU AND PEPERTRATE THERE SELFISH PLANS AND NOW THEY ARE PLANNING ON HOW TO DIVERT YOUR FUND INTO ANOTHER ACCOUNT OF THERE CHOICE AND SHARE IT AMONGST THEMSELVES. I WILL LET YOU KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO NOW TO AVERT THERE SELFISH PLANS AND RECEIVE YOUR FUND WITHOUT ANY FURTHER PROBLEM.PLEASE I AM TELLING YOU THIS NOT TO GET OR GAIN ANYTHING FROM YOU.
THE ORIGINALL PAYMENT ADVISE IN YOUR NAME, WAS MEANT TO BE SENT TO THE ACTUAL CONCERNED BANK HERE IN UK VIA THE APEX BANK HERE WHERE I WORK AS THEIR ACCREDITED ATTORNEY FROM THEIR CORRESPONDENT BANK IN AFRICA FOR A VERY LONG TIME NOW AND YOU WERE SUPPOSE TO BE DIRECTED BY THE BANK HERE TO CONTACT THEM FOR YOUR PAYMENT, BUT THEY DID NOT, NOT ACTUALLY THAT THEY DID NOT, BUT THIS FRAUDULENT GROUP IN COLLABORATION WITH THEIR FOREIGN COUNTERPARTS CHANGED THE INFORMATION AND RELEASED A WRONG ONE.
FOR YOUR URGENT PAYMENT YOU ARE SUPPOSE TO GET IN CONTACT WITH THE CONCERNED BANK HERE IN UK FOR YOUR IMMEDIATE PAYMENT.THEY DO HAVE THE PAYMENT ADVISE IN YOUR FAVOUR FOR SOME TIME NOW AND DO NOT LET THEM KNOW WHY YOU HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO CONTACT THEM ALL THIS WHILE OR THAT I DID LET YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS,PLEASE JUST FOR ME,MY JOB AND MY FAMILY.JUST AN ADVISE AND PLEASE DO NOT PUT ME INTO TROUBLE, AS I AM TRYING JUST TO HELP YOU NOT FOR ANYTHING GAIN BUT FOR GOD’S SAKE.
PLEASE DO NOT LET ANYBODY KNOW ABOUT WHAT I REVEALED TO YOU EVEN YOUR PARTNERS UNTIL YOU GET YOUR FUND TRANSFERED INTO YOUR ACCOUNT IN YOUR COUNTRY FOR THE SAFETY OF YOUR FUND AND THE SECURITY OF MY JOB.
AS SOON AS I HEAR FROM YOU, I WILL FURNISH YOU WITH THE CONTACT INFORMATION OF THE CONCERNED BANK HERE THAT IS IN CHARGE OF YOUR PAYMENT FOR YOUR SWIFT PAYMENT.

[…] Ignore this scammer who will just keep asking you to send money if you make the mistake of replying. If you don’t believe me, read the comment left on this post a few days ago http://keepsafeonthenet.co.uk/2009/02/apex-bank/ […]

Sadly, all I can advise you to do is to go to the Police in your own country and see if they can help you. The UK police probably can’t help unless the scammers are based in the UK. If they are, then you can try contacting actionfraud.org.uk using the link on the right hand side of this website – but I think they can only really help you if you live in the UK.
