I was contacted by an attorney in Malaysia stating that a relative had passed away and he was representing the settlement of his estate through me since we are related. I just need to know what are the expenses associated with this inheritence in respect to Malaysian law. This attorney is telling me it takes $1250.00 to submit to the high courts. Can you verify this information and/or give guidance/direction on the process of putting closure to this transaction.

Sincerely,

Phony, and by the way, if that really happened: Inheritance tax in this is 90% so you would end up with 900K plus all of the bills of the departed and their estate bills. You would have to pay income tax and capital gains on the 900K which, depending upon your income, would probably be around 70% before deductions. Hey, you might end up without actually owing anything.

I get one of these at least once a month. Don't you watch the news! They used to all come from Nigeria, now they are coming from Malaysia (13 states located in South Asia). I forward all of mine to the State Attorney Generals Office. If everybody does this eventually they cops will step and and catch these folks. Most of them operate out of Florida. Beware the "I'm running from terrorists, rebels, government officials" or "I'm an old woman who has cashed in my husbands securities and will share them with you if you only....". These people prey off the greed and stupidity of others.

Yes, it's spam. I've gotten that one, too. Look it up on Snopes, cause some people have actually went to claim the money and ended up, er, in unfortunete circumstances. Some other situations in the letter include HSBC, banks in Nigeria and India.

Since you believed this and posted your full name and two phone numbers openly on the internet, may I call you and laugh at you?
