The Mr. William Billington Scam

This one is very short and simple. I have no blind trust for anyone, so it is obvious to me that this is a scam. A quick google search verifies that.


Scam e-mail Below:

This is based on blind trust, hoping that you will expand my wishes as desired. I have US$200 Million for charity projects. You will be getting 20% of total funds as your commission if interested.


Regards,
Mr. William Billington

  2. Hi! I received this email but I'm not sure if it's a scam: Dear Friend, I hope this mail gets to you in the best
    frame of mind. I am sorry if I am
    intruding into your privacy by contacting
    you through this means. I actually got
    your email from your country's web email-
    directory. I do hope you listen with your heart as you read through my "Letter". I
    have been directed by the spirit of
    humanity to you hoping you will be fair
    enough to respond to this task that I shall
    be putting forward to you. As you rightly
    know, our today's world is governed by greed, wickedness, hostility and hatred.
    People no longer feel safe dealing with
    close friends, relatives, neighbors and
    loved ones as trust are often betrayed by
    people you least expected. I am Mr. William G. Billington from the
    United Kingdom but I am now undergoing
    medical treatment for Lung cancer in
    doctor's hospital in the Bahamas and the
    doctors confirmed I have few months left
    to live. I was married without a child and my wife died after a brief illness in 2009.
    I am blessed by God with Millions of
    Dollars, Shares and Properties. I need you
    to help me do this in good faith, as I have
    entrusted you in this endeavor. I do not
    fancy racial discrimination and am not a religious fanatic so if you are one of those
    that thinks his or her religion or race is
    superior to that of other persons; please
    do me the favor of not replying this mail. I
    have learned not to view life from one
    perspective because life itself is very unpredictable. My reason for contacting
    you is to combine our ideas and
    dedication to touch the lives of the less-
    privilege in some part of the world.
    Somehow, since the doctor had confirmed
    my situation that I will not live long, I have decided to give out my wealth/
    money to the poor. I have a cash Deposit
    sum of Two Hundred Million United States
    Dollars with my Bank in the United
    Kingdom. You will get 20% as your
    commission if interested. I will want to help the less privilege with your help by
    building an orphanage homes in my name
    for the less privilege babes and making
    donations to several charities. I now feel
    safer dealing with strangers than people I
    know due to constant betrayals I have received from loved ones and family
    members. Nowadays, only few people
    think about assisting orphanage homes
    and the less privilege. You must keep your knowledge and
    involvement in this project to yourself
    only till all necessary procedures are
    meant. To begin this process, kindly send
    me your Full names, Full address, date of
    birth, Telephone, Fax number, Occupation and also any form of ID. As soon as I have
    them, I shall forward to my attorney in
    the United Kingdom. With this
    information's my Attorney will begin the
    preambles of preparing all necessary legal
    documentations in your name {Change of Ownership} and lodge it with the probate
    registry of the High Court here in the
    United Kingdom. After due confirmation
    the probate would now release your letter
    of administration for claims to my estate
    funds. This document as well as the Certificate of Fund Deposit issued by the
    bank when the fund was deposited in
    CASH DEPOSIT VAULTS ACCOUNT will be
    release to you. This will give you the legal
    backing to receive my funds. This is very
    legal hence we are going to observe all legalities. On completion of the
    documentation process with my attorney,
    you will assume the position of Signatory
    Heir of me (MR. WILLIAM BILLINGTON).
    There is no problem whatsoever because I
    have already made all the necessary arrangements. If you are really ready, competent and
    capable in all terms for this project,
    please let me know so I advice you
    further on this project. Please know my
    cause is legal and not fraudulent. I have
    never been part of anything illegal in my life and I will never do that in this short
    time left on earth. If you are not capable
    and ready for this project, Please do not
    bother writing me back. Thanks and God bless you. Regards,
    Mr. William G. Billington
