Skype で 不審な 連絡がありました

Skypeをたまにつかうのですが、突然見知らぬ外国人から電話がありました。

記憶にない人物なので、無視していたら、今度は怪しげなチャットが入力。

Hi

Good day

My name is Bob Brown from Chicago USA.

I work with Northern Trust Corporation.

I contacted you for a very important purpose and reason.

I will explain in details.

Kindly exercise patience to enable me explain.

I contact you today because I have a very important proposal for you.

This is actually a beneficiary business proposal and it is connected to your name that is why I contact you today specifically.

I have a customer by name Daisuke 〇〇○○ who made a fixed deposit with my bank here in Chicago.

I was his financial advisor before his death.

I realized that he died a few years ago.

The bank headquarters is not aware of this.

The time duration for the fixed deposit has elapsed and the bank will soon terminate and confiscate the funds if the owner or the relatives doesn't claim it in time.

According to my investigation I realized that he did not attach any family relative or next of kin in his account opening package.

I contacted you because you have the same surname with him and I want you to cooperate with me in executing this transaction.

I want you to help me in claiming the funds in my late client account.

You will benefit 50% share from the total funds.

I will present/introduce you to the bank headquarters as the legitimate next of kin to the account.

I will provide you with the necessary information required for this transaction.

There is no risk attached to this transaction and everything will follow a legal procedure.

Let me know your decision after reading this proposal.

I anticipate your cooperation and partnership.

All I seek is your cooperation and partnership.

This is the business information.

Read carefully and reply to me.

Do you understand?

The total funds to be claimed here is $35,500,000USD.

This transaction will not exceed two weeks.

You will benefit 50%share of the total funds.

All I seek is your cooperation and partnership.

こんな内容です。

私と同じ姓の人物がなくなり、莫大な遺産が残されたが、銀鉱から引き出すのに協力してほしいとのこと。

よくメールに送られてくる内容の「Skype版」です。

アメリカ映画などでは、孤独な老人が身よりもなく亡くなり、縁をたどって行ったら相続人が見つかり、莫大な遺産が転がり込むというようなシンデレラストーリーや、そこから陰湿な殺人事件が巻き起こるといったストーリーが見受けられますが、日本人にはあまり現実性のある話に思えないようです。

日本の相続ではそのようなことが「ほぼ起きえない」からでしょうか。
