He must be starting again only this time  I received a letter today from "Stanley Jones of Audit Halifax Investments Ltd. in Edinburgh, UK" stating the following:
"I am Stanley Jones of Audit Halifax Investments Ltd. in Edinburgh, United Kingdom. In the course of my auditing, I discovered a floating fund in an account which was opened in 1990 belonging to a dead foreigner Late Mr. K.P. *MY LAST NAME* who died in 1999. Our records show that every effort made by our company to track any member of his family has failed because the deceased died leaving no heir or will. We have decided to contact you to stand as next of kin because you bear the same last name with the deceased.
We intend to facilitate the transfer of this sum of £12.5 Million British pounds in the investment deposit to a safe account overseas etc  etc.
....and more

Further to my last comment their are at least 200 families with our same last name here in our province alone!! Also I found a Stanley Jones on Linkin with picture is this our special person or is his name & profile being used? Innocent or not that is the BIG QUESTION?? IT WOULD BE WORTH FINDING OUT!

I received the letter (post mark from South Africa) from Takumi Kobayashi the other day. I'm set to inherit $18,500,000 haha.

Does anyone know how they intend to complete the scam?

My grandmother recevied same letter today, she's 86 years old and we're hungarian... My grandma can't understand english. Why send somebody this letter around the world??? I don't understand it, why is it good for him/her??? Crook? Psichopath?

I also got this letter today from Takumi Kobaysahi to my husband regarding about the heir. But the post  came from South Africa, this is a scam, scam scam, just threw into bin

Hi just received the same letter as you mentioned can you please tell if you actually contacted the investment bankers to see if it was actually fraud?

Same letter, same sender (Takumi Kobayashi) .... $18.5m up for grabs .... No such thing as free lunch. They must think the world is full of greedy fools ! Post mark 14/5 South Africa

I received a letter today from this company in Japan but sent from South Africa too. Prob best for everyone to check your credit history, which I'm doing tomorrow, as they've got our details from somewhere

Got the same one today!! Tossers is there any way police can track them

Ditto!
Do you think they want ID for residency? - They will have a name and a bank account number if you follow their instruction...
Binned

you actually get snail mail from these slime balls?  all I ever get is nigerian princes sending me emails asking me to help them transfer their dead uncle's second cousin's step-sons booty of 50,000,000 dollars to the US and I get to keep 5,000,000.

We got a letter just yesterday from Mr Takumi Kobayashi post marked South Africa stating someone with the same surname as ours had left $18.5 million and as their was no heir we were entitled to most of it, haha what a scam.

What a scam at least have a proper letter headed letter your holding millions, he should be arrested not for just being a fraudster but also being dum

I to received a letter today 17/05/2014 from the same named man,  checked out the company and found the scams related.  Need stopping, are they asking for money? How does it work?

Received a letter from Investment Services Ltd addressed to my father who passed away in 1995. Mr Takumi Kobayashi should be ashamed of himself sending out scam mail like this. He should grow up and get a life.

Just received a letter (in England) from Takumi Kobayashi from Japan from letter was franked from South Africa with the similar story.
FRAUD BEWARE! his fax is +81 343330279 and email tkobayashi4021@yahoo.co.jp
Asking me to keep it confidential? Absolutely not since it is a complete and utter scam!!

Just received same letter from South Africa from Takumi Kobayashi ..... He is still trying it on ,, . Do they really think that we are that stupid to fall for this type of scam !

We have received the same letter from Mr Kobayashi today. The South African stamp wasn't franked so no date and postmark.

Thanks for posting all the information. I just got the same letter today (5/12/2014) with the same content. Be careful.

Received exactly the same letter today at work!  The postie dropped it under the door!  Makes me so mad these scam artists trying to trick people.  This jerk has given a private fax 44 131 777 2608 and the email of auditorinvest@yahoo.co.uk -who knows maybe we'll be lucky enough and someone will see this and be able to actually find these people and throw them in jail.

My Husband received a letter this morning also from a Mr Takumi Kobayashi from investment services Tokyo scam springs to mind !

Yes, we have also received this letter with a postmark from South Africa claiming it was from Investment Services Ltd, Tokyo Japan. Takumi Kobayashi was the person's name in the letter.

It's obviously a big scam just like the Nigerian scams.I can't believe there are still people falling for that s***.
Mine is Timothy M Scharf and it's funny the dead relative's name always start with the initials P.K .So people BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi I am in Australia. Got same letter today.  Posted South Africa.
