Foreign Money Exchange - Inheritance - Timothy V. Hanofee LLP. Inheritance scam. Claiming to be the attorney of a rich man with the same last name who died of covid complications. He apparently left approximately $10,670,200 in his payable on death savings account, but has no living relatives or claimants. The 'lawyer' proposes that, because the last name is the same, they will be able to draw up documents to transfer the funds to you. 10% of the money will go to charity and he will split the rest 50/50. This scheme is 'without any associated risks and is compliant with legal standards.' It says to discuss the matter in detail by emailing a gmail account and CCing it to the lawyer they are impersonating. The letter looks fairly official and it's unusual to see a scam like this come in the mail. The real Timothy V Hanofee is a real lawyer, but has recently closed his law office (retired?) which is likely why he was targeted in this scam--he can't actually be contacted to verify the claims. Crucially, although the letter claims it's from an attorney in Atlanta, Georgia, the envelope is addressed from a company called Aviva in Markham, Ontario. When this scam first emerged, people received similar letters with the same text but impersonating a Canadian attorney. I think the scammer is likely Canadian, based in Ontario and is now trying to impersonate Americans or other foreign attorneys because it will be harder for Canadian targets to identify.
