You must be here because you want to know the fact about the fax from “Fasken Law Firm, Ontario Canada” or “Marty & Rouben LLP, Toronto ON, Canada” or “Proper Law Firm, Toronto” stating that around $9,820,000 (more or less) is in a payable on death account of someone with a same last name and nationality as yours or in a payable on death account of your cousin Alan Flannigan and so on. The sender claims to donate 10% to charity and split 45% each with him.

You should know these kinds of faxes or messages are not from law firms like “Fasken Law Firm, Ontario Canada” or “Marty & Rouben LLP, Toronto ON, Canada” or “Proper Law Firm, Toronto” and so on but are from scammers intending to steal your personal and financial information.

Example of Unclaimed POD Fax from Marty & Rouben LLP Law Firm

“Dear [Your Name],

 

My name is Mr. Jones Rouben. I am a principal attorney at Marty & Rouben LLP, Toronto ON, Canada.

 

It may surprise you to receive this letter from me since there has been no previous correspondence between us. There is an unclaimed “Permanent Life Insurance Policy” held by our deceased client.

 

The transaction pertains to an unclaimed “Payable-On-Death” (POD) savings monetary deposit in the sum of Nine Million Six Hundred and Fifty Thousand US Dollars ($9,650,000) with one of the prime global insurer. The policy holder was one of our clients, Mr. Thomas who worked with Energy Company in Canada. He died in an accident Nine (9) years ago. Since his death no one has come forward for the claim and all our efforts to locate his relatives have proved unsuccessful.

 

The insurance company policy stipulates that “Insured Permanent Policies” not claimed must be turned over to the abandoned property division of the state treasury after deadline.

 

Therefore, I ask for your consent to be in partnership with me for the claim of this policy benefit, in view of the fact that you share the same last name and nationality with the deceased. If you permit me to add your name to the policy, all proceeds will be processed on your behalf. I wish to point out that I want 10% of this money to be shared among charity organizations while the remaining 90% will be shared between us.

 

This is 100% risk free; I do have all the necessary documentation to expedite the process in a highly professional and confidential manner. I will provide all the relevant documents to substantiate your claim as the beneficiary. This claim requires a high level of confidentiality and it may take up to thirty (30) business days, from the date of receipt of your consent.

 

Please contact me through my private email [email protected] or call me on +14378861023.

 

Your earliest response to this matter would be highly appreciated.

 

Best regards,

….

NOTE: The details provided in the above examples may be impersonated.

If you have got the faxes or messages as mentioned above from Fasken Law or Marty & Rouben LLP or Proper Law or any other law firm, then you must know that those are fraud faxes or messages, not the genuine or legit ones. So, you should not follow any instructions provided on those faxes or messages. If you follow the instructions provided on those faxes or messages, then you may end up losing your personal information which can be used to scam you and steal money from you.

These kinds of faxes or messages from Fasken Law or Marty & Rouben LLP or Proper Law or any other law firm are just a few examples of these kinds of phishing faxes or messages. However, these scammers can come up with a new way to scam people. So, you should never believe any such faxes or messages which claim someone is giving you a big amount of money or you have won a big amount of money or prizes from some reputed companies out of blue or you have done something without your consent or someone has hacked your personal account and so on.

OK now let’s find out what is the motive behind these fake faxes and messages.

The main motive of these cybercriminals is to get your personal information as well as to steal your money by tricking you. They can make money by selling your personal information like email address, ID details, financial details and so on to the third parties and make money from that. That’s why they always ask you to send your personal details in those faxes or messages at first or second attempt.

Never provide your credit card information to these kinds of cybercriminals. Once cybercriminals get your credit card details, they will charge your credit card randomly without your consent until your credit card runs out of money. So, if you have already provided your credit card information mistakenly to any of these cybercriminals, we suggest you immediately contact your bank or credit card company and tell them to cancel your credit card and provide you the new one.

These cybercriminals will also try to steal the money from potential victims by asking them to send some money to pay some fees to get those POD money or gifts or prizes. However, if you send them your money, they will just vanish with your money. So, never ever send any money to them.

Actually, you should not follow any instructions provided in such fraud faxes or messages. Instead, you should just ignore them.
