Scam Types dot Com

That sounds like a generous deal - helping the dying Bruce Phillips give his money to charity in return for a $1.8m share of it.

I can’t imagine why he’s chosen me to be so fortunate though. Maybe it’s because my email address has found it’s way onto a list that spammers and scammers use? Or am I just becoming too cynical?

From:Bruce Phillips

Greetings.

As you read this, don’t feel sorry for me, because it is the destiny of everyman to die someday. I am
Bruce Phillips a naturalised briton by birth and a business merchant based in the United Kingdom. I
have been diagnosed with Esophageal cancer.

It has defiled all forms of medical treatment, and right now I have only about a few months to live,
according to medical experts. I regret that I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really
cared for anyone (not even myself), but my trade. Though I am very well to do, I was never open
handed; I was always hostile to people and regarded them like they never had hopes of becoming as
successful as myself. Now I know that there is a lot more to life than just prosperity.

I believe that when I am given a second chance to come to this world, I would live my life a different way
from how I have lived it. Now that death is eminent, I have willed and given most of my belonging to
immediate and extended family members, as well as a few close friends. I want Allah to be merciful to me
and accept my soul. Hence I have decided to support charity work; this is what i want to be remembered
for. So far, I have been able to reach out to a few charity organizations in the singapore, Algeria and
Malaysia. Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this myself anymore.

I once asked members of my family to aid me in giving of alms to those organizations catering for the less
privileged in Bulgaria and Pakistan; they refused and kept the resources to themselves. Hence, I do not
trust them anymore, as they seem not to be contempt with what I have left for them.

The last of my belonging which no one knows of, is the huge deposit of Eighteen milion US dollars that I
have in a safe keeping company abroad, which I will want you to secrue and bestow to charity
organizations.

Please endaevour to reply me . For your time and devotion, I have set aside a tenth of this for you.

God be with you.

Bruce Phillips.

It makes me laugh that he complains he can’t trust his family yet here he is emailing a complete stranger. Of course, everything he says is complete rubbish - it’s a scam. The ruse being that, like all advance fee scams, there will be problems before the cash is available. Problems that the victim would have to pay to resolve, despite Bruce Phillips supposedly having $18m!
