Good day,

My name is Paul Lockett, I am a senior partner in the Technical Advisory Board (TAB) of HSBC (Senior Security Specialist). The TAB is conducting a standard process investigation on behalf of "HSBC" which involves a client who shares the same Last Name with you and also the circumstances surrounding his investment at "HSBC", the International Banking conglomerate.

I will like to intimate you with certain fact that will be of interest to you. The client died intestate and nominated no successor over his investment in the bank. Since you share similar detail with the late fellow, I am prepared to release the deposit to you and we shall share the money 50/50.

I am aware of the consequence of this proposal; I therefore ask that if you find no interest, please, discard this mail and do not be vindictive. On the other hand, If you decide to work with me, contact me through my email below and I will initiate the process.

I am the only one that is aware of this situation. I have evaluated the risks and the only risk I have here is you refusing to work with me. If we can be of one accord, we should plan a meeting soon.

Sincerely,

Paul Lockett

I received this same letter, he used the name Christopher Toby, as the employee of HSBC bank, so be aware of that letter. Just another SCAM.

now i have more that are scams as well and here they are.


Dear Sir/ Madam,

There is an issue with the WESTERN UNION MONEY TRANSFER in the amount of $750,000.00 (Seven Hundred and Fifty Thousand US Dollars). The sum was directed in cash and credited to file WMT/9023118307-09 to the owner of this e-mail address.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) contacted us for your compensation a couple of hours ago due to your allocated security code. They said that they chose to send it to an e-mail address instead of a name. We are unable to complete a transfer directed at an e-mail address, so we require some more information to verify it with what we have on file in order to complete this transfer and make sure we are not paying the wrong beneficiary.

FULL NAME:
FULL CONTACT ADDRESS:
MOBILE PHONE NUMBER:
OCCUPATION:

Immediately we receive the above information, a part payment of $10,000.00 (Ten Thousand US Dollars) will be wired to you within 2hours via Western Union and the balance of the $740,000.00 (Seven Hundred and Forty Thousand US Dollars) will be sent to your bank account in 3 working days.

Please use reference number #135-086 for our mutual convenience. For more clarification, call us on the telephone number below.

I received a second e-mail from this scumbag, and he stressed that our relationship was strictly personal not professional. I kind of got scared and deleted the message. I warn all of you, to be careful. I refused my birthday date. However, I got a phone call from someone that would not say anything. I documented that. and have not received anything else from him at this time. I am going to look up cyberspace stuff to see if he can be reported that way.

I gotta hand it to Paul, he certainly is persistent. He says that he is with Skipton Guernsey Limited and can be reached at plockett177@live.com. Funny how his email address never matches the company he works at.

Now he says he represents the former president of Satyam computers, the guy now caught up in a fraud probe. He wants me to invest 120m pounds of British Sterling for a 20% cut. Course Paul didn't do his homework this time, since I'm a Texan and to me pounds are what we measure the quantity of feed and hay to :-)

Talk dollars to me Paul! And tell me, how much are you gonna send me, up front in cold, hard cash, before I accept your offer? What's that Paul, I can't hear you!

You jackasses...there is no Paul, he doesn't know your name or anything about you, it's simply an elaborate mass-idiot scam. No point getting annoyed, best to waste more of their time than yours - I've been stringing them along for weeks now, tons of fun! Make sure you tell him you have a hilarious name and you're amazed that someone shares it...what are the odds?

Just this morning I decided to answer him back to see if he can give me more information. After doing so I thought I'd google his name. Sure glad I did. I mean,, I knew that it couldnt be for real its that I didnt realize how bad this guy is.

How Sick.

I just hope that others wont fall for it.
Paul, or what ever your name is. Get an honest job!

I was wrong, somehow he can find out your name as he just rerplied me with mine? I know its a scam , but kile I read on here earlier, how do these jerks get your information in the first place? Is it from yahoo? myspace? anyone know?

He is at it again and I have to wonder what the hell he is not being investigated by the RCMP Fraud Squad????

Goodday,

My name is Mr. Paul Lockett, I am a senior partner in the firm of Infinity Consultants "Private Investigators and Security Consultants". We are conducting a standard process investigation on behalf of "HSBC", the International Banking conglomerate.

This investigation involves a client who shares the same surname with you and also the circumstances surrounding investments made by this client at "HSBC", the Private Banking arm of HSBC. The HSBC Private Banking client died in testate and nominated no successor in title over the investments made with the bank. I would respectfully request that you keep the contents of this mail private and respect the integrity of the information you come by as a result of this mail.

I contact you independently of our investigation and no one is informed of this communication. I would like to intimate you with certain facts that I believe would be of interest to you.

You share similar details to the late fellow; I am prepared to place you in a position to instruct the firm to release the deposit to you as the closest surviving relation. Upon receipt of the deposit, I am prepared to share the money with you, that is, I will simply nominate you as the next of kin and have them release the deposit to you. We share the proceeds 50/50. I would have gone ahead to ask the funds be released to me, but that would have drawn a straight line to me and my involvement in claiming the deposit. But on the other hand, you with the same very name as the depositor's would easily pass as the beneficiary with right to claim. I assure you that I could have the deposit released to you within few days.

I am aware of the consequences of this proposal. I ask that if you find no interest in this project that you should discard this mail. I ask that you do not be vindictive and destructive. If my offer is of no appeal to you, delete this message and forget I ever contacted you. Do not destroy my career because you do not approve of my proposal. You may not know this but people like myself who have made tidy sums out of comparable situations run the whole private banking sector. I am not a criminal and what I do, I do not find against good conscience, this may be hard for you to understand, but the dynamics of my industry dictates that I make this move. Such opportunities only come ones in a lifetime. I cannot let this chance pass me by, for once, I have found myself in total control of my destiny. These chances won't pass me by. I ask that you do not destroy my chance, if you will not work with me let me know and let me move on with my life but do not destroy me. I am a family man and this is an opportunity to

There is a reward for this project and it is a task well worth undertaking. I have evaluated the risks and the only risk I have here is from you refusing to work with me. I am the only one who knows of this situation, good fortune has blessed you with a name that has planted you into the center of relevance in my life. Lets share the blessing. If you find yourself able to work with me, contact me through this same email account. If you give me positive signals, I will initiate this process towards a conclusion.

I send you this mail not without a measure of fear as to what the consequences, but I know within me that nothing ventured is nothing gained and that success and riches never come easy or on a platter of gold. This is the one truth I have learned from my private banking clients. Do not betray my confidence. If we can be of one accord, we should plan a meeting, soon. Please reply to my alternate/direct email: p.lockett57@googlemail.com

It does no good to turn in this guy for anything because E-MAIL addresses can be closed and new ones opened. The only way you can even catch this guy is if he slips up and says his real name/address/email etc. The only thing you can do is just as bad as it may be...get a new email and don't subscribe to anything. Download McAfee Siteadvisor if you have to subscribe and that helps with spam.

I got the same thing and it's annoying. It's not the first e-mail I've gotten like this, I just wish I knew how to block all this bull so I can get to the good stuff. Anyway, here's what this annoying buzzard as given me:

I got this exact same email and today I am emailing him back and fucking with his head! He gave me this phone number, that happens to be in Illinois, and I called it and it turned out to be a Wachovia Bank. I called Wachovia, and they said he was a scam!

You can catch more of the story on this in the below link; http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/3213505.stm I have been contacted by the Bank as the P.A. to Mr. Mikhail Khodorkovsky that the fund has matured hence ready for profiling. All I need from you is to stand as the beneficiary of the above quoted sum. With the Power of Attorney, I will arrange for the documentation at my expense which will enable transfer of the sum to you. You will be rewarded with 30% for your partnership, 5% has been mapped out for any expenses that might be incurred during the transaction while 15% will be spent on taxes in your country. I have decided to use my share of this transaction to relocate and invest on the Real Estate Venture. The transaction has to be concluded within a week.

are you kidding me?

I got a email from Mr. Paul Lockett a few days ago, didn't know who it was & told me I had the same name & put me as the next of kin. First I don't know any Paul Lockett, if I was the next of kin for that amount of $, I believe a lawyer or a family member would contact me right away if something like that ever happened. So I'll go with everybody else on this & put this with all of his other ones: IN THE TRASH!

i got an email too(plockettuknl@hotmail.com) frome the fames paul lockett!saying that i won the lottery of uk!(800,000,00gbp) ,and i sent to mr.dean c.bodenham.at courier express agancy ,with a copy of his passport!to sut him !and i sent about 500usd.to mr.beatrice paisley via western union!please do not do the same...and i hope he will burns like 500 times...

I got an email too, I didnt open it though. It's from Mr Marcus Sundblad... I'm guessing its the same guy cuz seombody else said they got one from him that redirected to the Lockett guy.

Hi everyone,
I got the same email from the famous Mr Lockett yesterday,saying he has a £9.0527Million fortune for me to claim from some dead guy with the same surname. What a joker.Does he think people will fall for this?

i recieved my email from MR Marcus Sundblad. marcus.sundblad@telia.com
however it still told me to email Paul Lockett regarding my "claim"
plockett.uknl@yahoo.com.hk
was his new email address
and my email was regarding the lottery winnings i supposedly won without entering

Mr. Paul Lockett.
Email: plockett.uknl@yahoo.com.hk
Tel: +44 701 113 3797

i wonder if he still uses this phone number. might call him and tell him what for. or maybe just give his details to the police.

I also got one from "paullockett41new@live.com" Who in their right mind would put all those numbers with passwords in an email? This guy is trying to go after ignorant people. He is evil.

This guy also goes by the name Dr. Robert Kennedy and his address is drrobert_kennedy100@yahoo.com. I'm going to send his info to the FBI. This is annoying and he should be stopped immediately. He's very concerned about getting in trouble. He must have changed his name. Hopefully someone will stop him.

I got one telling me to contact the following:


Contact Person: Mr. Paul .J. Lockett
Email: paullockett77@gmail.com

I D K it scares me.

isn't there anything that can be done to stop this man...or in my oppinion group of people...there has to be some sort of legal action that can be taken... my mother was just about to send this dude 2000 for a document. and i'm sure many more people have fallen into this trap and actually sent him money. He was having us wire money to florida to some chick named Delinda Hardy... he even went to the point to say that a man "James Hardy" was waiting at the airport with my moms 12 mil. Someone please tell me if there is any way to get this man in jail. he has a profile on pips.com just google him and it will come up. someone anyone email me if you know how to get this man in trouble, i saved all his e-mails and im willing to help take action.

Here is another one for all to see. I began to like looking up the scam artists. It seem to me that the all have a format. Look for more then you'll see a pattern. Good luck to all.

Good day,

My name is Paul Lockett, I am a senior partner in the firm of Infinity Consultants "Private Investigators and Security Consultants". We are conducting a standard process investigation on behalf of "Barclays Bank", the International Banking conglomerate.

This investigation involves a client who shares the same surname with you and also the circumstances surrounding investments made by this client at "Barclays Bank", the Private Banking arm of Barclays Bank. The Barclays Bank Private Banking client died intestate and nominated no successor in title over the investments made with the bank. I would respectfully request that you keep the contents of this mail private and respect the integrity of the information you come by as a result of this mail.

I contact you independently of our investigation and no one is informed of this communication. I would like to intimate you with certain facts that I believe would be of interest to you. You share similar details to the late fellow; I am prepared to place you in a position to instruct the firm to release the deposit to you as the closest surviving relation. Upon receipt of the deposit, I am prepared to share the money with you, that is, I will simply nominate you as the next of kin and have them release the deposit to you. We share the proceeds 50/50. I would have gone ahead to ask the funds be released to me, but that would have drawn a straight line to me and my involvement in claiming the deposit. But on the other hand, you with the same very name as the depositor's would easily pass as the beneficiary with right to claim. I assure you that I could have the deposit released to you within few days.

I am aware of the consequences of this proposal. I ask that if you find no interest in this project that you should discard this mail. I ask that you do not be vindictive and destructive. If my offer is of no appeal to you, delete this message and forget I ever contacted you. Do not destroy my career because you do not approve of my proposal. You may not know this but people like myself who have made tidy sums out of comparable situations run the whole private banking sector. I am not a criminal and what I do, I do not find against good conscience, this may be hard for you to understand, but the dynamics of my industry dictates that I make this move. Such opportunities only come ones in a lifetime. I cannot let this chance pass me by, for once, I have found myself in total control of my destiny. These chances won't pass me by. I ask that you do not destroy my chance, if you will not work with me let me know and let me move on with my life but do not destroy me. I am a family man and this is an opportunity to provide them with new opportunities.

There is a reward for this project and it is a task well worth undertaking. I have evaluated the risks and the only risk I have here is from you refusing to work with me. I am the only one who knows of this situation, good fortune has blessed you with a name that has planted you into the center of relevance in my life. Lets share the blessing. If you find yourself able to work with me, contact me through my email account below. If you give me positive signals, I will initiate this process towards a conclusion.

I send you this mail not without a measure of fear as to what the consequences, but I know within me that nothing ventured is nothing gained and that success and riches never come easy or on a platter of gold. This is the one truth I have learned from my private banking clients. Do not betray my confidence. If we can be of one accord, we should plan a meeting, soon. Please Contact me at paullockett.barclays@hotmail.com

Kind regards,
Mr. Paul Lockett.

Busy guy...just got an email from him this afternoon with the following address.

Paul Lockett [paullockett.barclays@orange.net]

Personally I think it's more than one person. Probably a group of scammers in some dark smoke-filled room hammering out scheme after scheme.

Obviously they must snag someone once in a while, otherwise they wouldn't keep doing it, (just like telemarketers. lol!)

New email 05/05/2008 :
paullockett.barclays@hotmail.com

I got one too! Except now the email is:
paullockett@officeliveusers.com.
I sent him an email saying I don't enjoy this kind of BS! I asked if he was sincere about this if he could give me his firms number so I could call him there. No answer.

Got the same thing everyone else is getting, but I also got a scanned copy of his supposed passport and birth certificate. I have a URL for all of them as well: http://a742.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/7...

http://a131.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/6...

http://a640.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/1...



Not sure if they are forged. What I am wondering is if he has managed to scam anyone, and if he has, who? From the first email I recieved, he knew my full name. He used the same paullockett_barclays@hotmail.co.uk. So I responded to his email and got this:



Goodday to you , this is to acknowledge the receipt of your e-mail which was in response to my proposed transaction with you. Firstly, I want to thank you for the prompt response and your positive disposition towards assisting me in this mutual beneficial transaction. Your role is basically to front as the next of kin to the deceased accounts holder with a total sum of US$19.6M, so as to put in claims for these funds. Before this, I would require from you your full names and address, your telephone and fax numbers.

I have attached a copy of my Identification to this mail for you to know the exact person you are dealing with. Note that I am a seasoned banker who knows the intricacies involved in both local and international banking as the case may be. Therefore, I would handle all aspects with my bank to release these funds in your favour and for the funds to leave here to your bank account as swiftly as possible. Once this is presented to my bank, an approval for the deposit will be granted based on the back up documents that would be secured from the justice ministry and these funds would be paid to you as the next of kin and as specified in the beneficiary application for these funds.

Please, take note that I am 50 years old and I have put in over 21 years in the banking industry and as such I would not want to compromise my career. Please keep this matter highly confidential. If I could do this alone, I would not have contacted you in the first place. I believe that I have been explicit enough. You shall be duly compensated as earlier stated.

I want you to take note that due to the sensitivity of my position in my bank, anything around me can arose the interest of the management of my bank and I would prefer to call you to avoid any risk and security of my job as I like my job and family and I know you will grant me this favour.

I await your urgent response for us to proceed further and do try to send down all the required information immediately. Just be rest assured that everything would go fine and that you would definitely be paid these funds if you listen to me and follow all my instructions religiously and you can call me on my direct mobile (+44 70457 91928).

Thank you.

Regards,

Paul Lockett



The next email I recieved(I edited the last name):



The late deceased full names are Franklin Gonzalez $%^*.You both has the same surname and this will make it work fast as you are the next of kin to him.You do not have to be worried because I have all the legal documents that will facilitate this transaction speedily and make us to achieve our goals.

This transaction is real and you have to put your whole heart.You will have to send me your full names,address,telephone and fax numbers so that I can file an application to the bank for the release of the inheritance claims to you.I await your urgent response ASAP.

Regards,

Paul Lockett

how can we stop this guy? this is like the 10th email like this and it is really geting old!

Snopes "dot" com discusses this on their site under "Nigerian Scam". It is a very good detailed write-up.

i just got the message myself but i am not responding, i knew it was fishey when i read it so i looked up his name and found this. interesting.

I also recieved this e-mail. Paul Lockett included a copy his passport which I would love to broadcast across the internet.

The sender is a known internet scammer. This time he used "paullockett@orange.net"
The unsolicited email proposals are mass blasted. The best advice is to ignore these types of emails...or you can sign him up for a taste of his own spam-medicine to keep him busy by forwarding his info to www.419baiter.com, where they bait scammers into exposing themselves as morons

Who is this guy? He sent me 2 pictures of his passport and one of his birth certificate. Is he even real? The birth certificate is from the UK. What is he trying to scam? He hasn't asked for money yet, I wonder what it is he's trying to do...

Agree with you
Just received the message today– this guy obviously doesn’t give up easily. Don’t fall for it. What a joke!

Just received the message today-- this guy obviously doesn't give up easily. Don't fall for it. What a joke!

I just opened this today I want to take it to the authorities. Its theft by deception as well as fraud. This man needs to be locked up and the key thrown a way!!!!

He is still at it, but has a new email address.
paullockett@orange.net..some people don't mind stealing money from others.....I trust he'll eventually get "it" in the end.....

i unfortunatly did reply but i did not give him a bank account number cuz i do not have one but i am glad i googled him. so thanks for the help

Got mine this morning, it's amazing what scum will do to make a buck off a dead person.
The return email address I got was paullockett.barclays@hotmail.com.

Word of advice "If it sounds to good to be true it is probably either false or illegal"

Hope this guy burns.

O just got mine this morning, im glad i found this place cause I knew it had to be a scam but I was wondering why go to this distance? this is terrible. I hope this gets taking care of

I got mine yesterday (March 24, 2008) at 6:30 p.m. He's using Barclay's Bank for my message. Everything else is identical. I wonder what he's using to find our email addresses? What common link do we have?

I did research and I am new to understanding it, but I will say it's nothing "in common" these guys can actually buy your email address from others!! They are known for their bribes this is what they do. Dr. Paul Lockett was my scammer, he got me to fax my driver lisence over to the so called "bank". I fell for this because I was new to the internet. My computer became heavily infected with viruses. I mentioned it to Paul and after I did his email address no longer existed, that's typical since they forever change their emails. I unwittingly scared him away because by telling him that he thought I figured him out!! I also received his call! Yes, I spoke to scam artist Dr. Paul Lockett!!!!!!
For more info just google "Nigerian Inheritance Scam" and go from there. If I were anyone reading this, for further knowleadge on many different scams please google "scams" and find out before it's too late.

this fucker has sent me a mail stating that i have won some fucking lottery and have to claim it soon. guys beaware and dont fall in this trap
regards

I have just received the same email mentioned above from p_1lockett@consultant.com . I never participate in illegal activities. Sorry Bud!

This asshole sent me this same email to, I cant understand what makes people do this kind of crazy nonsense. Hopefully he gets caught and burns for it!

Well, the good Mr. Paul Lockett has moved his office and changed his email address.

You must now respond to his scam at pal.lockett@hotmail.co.uk

I also got this jackass's email. The strange thing is that he directly sent it to my email address only. The return path email was anonymous@cgi13.cgi13 but his email was info_paullockett08@ubbi.com. These kind of people REALLY need to get a life that consists of more than trying to screw over people for their personal benefit.

i also received it i reply to his e-mail and told him: whats the catch, and which name are u talking about please be expecific. also how did you get my e-mail? i received it 1-22-08 8:06pm

here is a copy of what he sent me today.

this message and forget I ever contacted you. Do not destroy my career because
you do not approve of my proposal. You may not know this but people like myself
who have made tidy sums out of comparable situations run the whole private
banking sector. I am not a criminal and what I do, I do not find against good
conscience, this may be hard for you to understand, but the dynamics of my
industry dictates that I make this move. Such opportunities only come ones in a
lifetime. I cannot let this chance pass me by, for once, I have found myself in
total control of my destiny. These chances won't pass me by. I ask that you do
not destroy my chance, if you will not work with me let me know and let me move
on with my life but do not destroy me. I am a family man and this is an
opportunity to provide them with new opportunities.

There is a reward for this project and it is a task well worth undertaking. I
have evaluated the risks and the only risk I have here is from you refusing to
work with me. I am the only one who knows of this situation, good fortune has
blessed you with a name that has planted you into the center of relevance in my
life. Lets share the blessing. If you find yourself able to work with me,
contact me through this same email account. If you give me positive signals, I
will initiate this process towards a conclusion.

I send you this mail not without a measure of fear as to what the consequences,
but I know within me that nothing ventured is nothing gained and that success
and riches never come easy or on a platter of gold. This is the one truth I
have learned from my private banking clients. Do not betray my confidence. If
we can be of one accord, we should plan a meeting, soon. Please reply to my
alternate/direct email: mrpaullockett@live.com

Kind regards,

Mr. Paul Lockett.

My GOD!! How many people died there?!!! I got an e-mail as well but he was talking about Barclays Bank in the UK. let the mourning for the dead begin.

Hello! He's a busy guy, or busy group... I contacted our local News investigator, maybe they can get to the bottom of this, if that doesnt work I'll contact the police, no one has the right to infringe on my privacy like this! I have all of this info and info from other web sources plus the email he has sent to me. Look out Paul...whatever??? Scamming people is wrong and you will pay someday!

I recieved an e-mail from this guy this morning but he gave his reply e-mail as info_paullockett2008@ubbi.com. And he asks that I not be vindictive or destructive, and if his offer is of no interest delete the message and forget he ever contacted me and do not distroy his career because I do not approve of his proposal.

I recieved this e-mail as well, It is totally a scam, I e-mailed back asking questions and it was obvious that it was an auto responce. the questions that I asked were not answered and I just deleted the e-mails and I would advise you to as well.

i RECEIVED PAULS OFFER THIS MORNING AND YEAH ITS FRAUD DEFINATLY. tHIS GUY IS A REGULAR SCUM BAG I HAVE A FRIEND WORKING FOR HSBC AND I FOREWARDED THE EMAIL TO HIM HE LOOKED IN TO THAT THEY DONOT HIRE INVESTIGATORS TO HUNT DOWN "NEXT OF KIN" THE GUY WANTS YOU TO CASH A CHECK THEN SEND HIM HALF THEN YOU GOT THE OTHER HALF NEXT THING YOU KNOW YOUR OWING MR. PAULS HALF AND PAYING YOURS BACK ALSO TO THE BANK... BE WISE TO THINGS PEOPLE MONEY DOESNT GROW ON TREES AND IT DAMN SURE DOESNT COME THIS EASY. BE WISE IF IT BARKS LIKE ADOG ITS A DAMN DOG PEOPLE.....

I recieved an email from him too, how does 'Paul" know if we all have a connection with the people who invested with HSBC.

No, it is true, it is just all the 1p and 2p pieces peoples forget about. Show me the monies.

I am a good man trying to assist poor fellows like you. Thanks

Paul.

"Paul Lockett" strikes again, only this time it's yet another email address.

lockett10046@yahoo.com

I received an email from this gent also, but his return address is different: lockett111@yahoo.com. The biggest tip-off for these types of scam emails is that they are not personally and specifically addressed to you. If you review the email properties, your specific email address will not appear. The other tip-off is the tone of the letter. It drips of illegality and urges you to participate in the deception. As always with anything online, be smart, be intelligent, and check it out first because most of the stuff we receive is crap.

I just got this one below & found geeked.info when I googled the guy's name... do people really fall for this stuff? They were even trying to validate their bogus email with real wiki links...
