Some comments by the Scam-O-Matic about the following email:

• An email address listed inside this email has been used in a known fraud before.
• The following phrases in this message should put you on alert:
  • "there is no risk involved" (almost true for the criminal - arrests of online criminals are rare)
• This email message is a next of kin scam.
• This email lists free webmail addresses. Use of such addresses is typical for scams. Lotteries, banks and any but the smallest of companies do not normally use such addresses. Criminals use them to anonymously send and receive email at Internet cafes.

Subject: Dear




My name is Rene Rhinow an executive member of Independent
Committee of Eminent Persons (ICEP), Switzerland.
Reference the website below for confirmation

http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Holocaust/volckmem.html

ICEP is charged with the responsibility of finding bank
accounts in Switzerland belonging to non-Swiss
indigenes, which have remained dormant since World War
II.

It may interest you to know that In January 13 2005,
the Swiss Banker's Association published a list of
dormant accounts originally opened by non-Swiss
citizens. These accounts had been dormant since the
end of World War II (May 9, 1945). Most belonged to
Holocaust victims.

The continuing efforts of the Independent Committee of
Eminent Persons (ICEP) have since resulted in the
discovery of additional dormant accounts -2700 in
july, 2005.

The published lists contain all types of dormant
accounts, including interest-bearing savings accounts,
securities accounts, safe deposit boxes, custody
accounts, and non-interest-bearing transaction
accounts. Numbered accounts are also included.
Interest is paid on accounts that were interest
bearing when established.

The Claims Resolution Tribunal (CRT) handles
processing of all claims on accounts due non-Swiss
citizens. A dormant account of NEUMANN ECKSTEIN
with a credit balance of 11,000,000 US dollar plus
accumulated interest was discovered by me. The
beneficiary was murdered during the holocaust era,
leaving no WILL and no possible records for trace of
heirs. The Claims Resolution Tribunal has been
mandated to report all unclaimed money for permanent
closure of accounts and transfer of existing credit
balance into the treasury of Switzerland government as
provided by the law for management of assets of
deceased beneficiaries who died interstate (living no
wills).

Many people who have full records of their relatives bank details
have successfully claimed their inheritance and paid in full. List of
claimants who have been paid are listed on the website for verification.
Visit the website below to see the list of claimants who have been paid:

http://www.crt-ii.org/_awards/index.phtm

Being a top executive at ICEP, I have all secret
details and necessary contacts for claim of the money
without any PROBLEM. The money will be banked in the
Carribean Islands, being a tax free, safe haven for money
and we can share the money and use in investment of
our choice.


Due to the sensitive nature of my job, I need a
foreigner to HELP claim the money as the beneficiary. All that is
required is for you to provide me your details for
processing of the necessary legal, and administrative
claim documents for transfer of the money to you.
Provide me with your full name, address, and
telephone/fax. The money will be transferred to a secure account in your name ,
because you will be acting as the next of kin to the deceased
person that can claim the money with claim documents
in your name in the Carribean Island, and you can
now start accessing the money gradually and
transferring to your country and other banks of choice
in the world. The banks in Caribbean Islands have internet
banking and telephone banking facility
with electronic wire transfer feature through
the internet and also anonymous ATM debit card. All these
features mean additional security and convenience,
so that you can stay in your country and access the money.

My share will be 60 percent and your share is
40 per cent of the total amount. THERE IS NO RISK INVOLVED.

You can find additional information about unclaimed
money through the internet at the following websites:

www.swissbankclaims.com


The Holocaust Claims Processing Office has allocated the money for payment to
the beneficiary
awaiting submission of valid claims for necessary disbursement.

I find myself priviledged to have this information and
this is a great opportunity for a life time of
success without risks.

Thanks once more for co-operating,
