Imagine having so much money that you completely forget about an account with $17,800,000.
According to Jason Albrecht of Standard Nationwide Bank in the United Kingdom, that is what happened to Karl Albrecht of Germany, who currently is the 10th richest billionaire in the world. Good old Karl deposited some money in Jason’s bank in 1998, and has never touched it. Now, the money officially has been deemed unclaimed.
Jason Albrecht, who is not related to the billionaire and works as an assistant in his bank’s accounts department, sees an opportunity here and he is offering Nicole Hassell a chance to benefit from this “life-changing opportunity” as well.
Banking regulations dictate that the funds will be turned over to the British government’s internal revenue department if no one claims it. The owner has not returned messages.
Anyone who can provide the original deposit and ownership certificates will be declared owner of the funds. It just so happens that Jason has been able to get those documents, because he and the billionaire have the same last name.
Hassell does not have to question whether Jason’s actions are less than legal, he pointed out in a e-mail.
“This is 100% realistic and legitimate,” he wrote. “The full funds has now been ENCODED into a transfer code.Anyone who is able to provide that code will be granted full access to the funds. Since i work with the bank, i cannot present the code therefore i will provide you with the code and you will inturn finish the transaction.”
If Hassell is capable and interested in working with him, Jason will give her 40 percent of the total amount once it is turned over. Ten percent will be set aside for expenses and 40 percent will go to him.
Hassell’s job will be to “...work as the account beneficiary while i do the inside job. You will be given the usernames and password to login online and access the funds.The funds will then be transferred to your account in your country.”
All Hassell has to do is reply with her name, address, mobile phone number and occupation so Jason can check her out. He continued:
“I will also give you more details on the transaction if i see that you can be trusted and capable.TO MAKE THIS WORK YOU MUST PUT 100% OF YOUR TIME AND RESOURCES INTO IT.The benefits of this transaction is enough to change our lives.”
Of course, if Hassell is not ready for this commitment then she should not even bother to reply, because Jason needs someone with a good spirit to succeed,” he warned.
Unfortunately for Jason, Hassell has common sense and knows better than to fall for a scam. She shared it with the Daily Journal to warn others that Jason is looking for a victim to scam.
