Same letter, dated July 4, 2022. Sent from Michael Stewart at a bank address in Toronto. It didn't take long to know it was a scam...he had the cause of death wrong, died in a ghastly car crash (not even close), my brother never co-owned a company in his life, and now some "stranger" whom I don't know wants to share half of 47 million. If a bank is looking for beneficiaries, this isn't how it's done.

I just received a letter today--Dated October 4, 2022.

from Michael Perez, saying he's an account manager looking for a beneficiary to an account he manages.

The letter mentions TD CANADA TRUST BANK. Of course, he wants to split the inheritance of $9.2 million dollars 50/50.

Unfortunately-someone will respond to one of the many letters mailed out in this SCAM!

My letter arrived today (October 18th, 2022) and Michael Reid wants to split my mysterious dead uncle’s fortune with me.

The letter I received was dated 10/17/22, and was identical with the exception of the "banker" calling himself Michael Torres. The grammar and spelling are pretty solid with only one or two obvious typo's. I can see how a trusting person might be drawn in, and needless to say, is a very unsettling letter to receive in the mail. I reported it as mail fraud on the USPS website and suggest others do the same if possible. One more channel to get the word out anyway. Knowledge is power.

Got one today dated November 8, 2022. What I find highly amusing is that while the name at the bottom has changed, the signature has not. The name on my letter is Michael Torres.

That same $47,500,000.00 (FORTY SEVEN MILLION, FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND U.S. DOLLARS ONLY) - as he typed it is up for grabs here in the US. My letter was dated November 16, 2022. He is correct about "this is certainly not a conventional way of approach to establish a relationship of trust"...only thing true in his letter.

February 11, 2023. I just got a letter from Michael Lightmore from TD Bank, saying I had a relative who died in a ghastly car crash, and the inheritance was unclaimed for seven years. He sent me a photo of his TD bank employee ID and a copy of his passport. Inheritance was for 47,500,000.

I then got a letter from the bank and the bank suggested I use their recommended lawyer Dr. Michael Braxton at Blakes Attorneys.

There is no one named Michael Braxton at the law firm, and no one named Michael Lightmore from TD bank.

Do not fall for this scam.

I've received a letter from Michael Perez stating a dormant account of 10 years I am the only kin able to be found for 9 million $200. Envelope postmarked first Canadian place PO Box 773 Toronto Ontario m5x189. Isn't it a federal crime to use the United States Postal Service? Why can't they get these people?

Hi Charla,

It should be illegal.

My letter was from a Michael Lightmore at TD bank. He sent me his work ID, and passport. He even sent me a "bank" phone number to confirm the balance of 47,500,00.

What tipped me off is when I started looking for the lawyer the bank recommended-Dr. Michael Braxton with

Blakes Law firm in Ontario. Of course there is not Michael Braxton with the law firm.

Also, the bank letter was from a Linda Miller with TD bank, and of course there is no Linda Miller there.

Michael Lightman wanted me to send him a large amount of money to cover law fees.

It's a complete SCAM.

Any one reading this, please do not fall for this.

Michael Nash

I received the same letter for the same amount from the same P.O. Box. The first thing I noticed was how unprofessional and unofficial looking the letter was. Then he spelled Michael Mchael two times but had it spelled correctly in the email address. Then he claimed the deceased had the same nationality as my wife who is from Morocco but he didn’t mention the nationality just that it was the same. Last I checked there aren’t any Moroccans named George. He also said everything had to be kept confidential and discreet which was the final red flag. I then googled his name and the bank and not surprisingly found it was a scam. Hopefully no one falls for it, and they put this guy behind bars for a long long time.
