Scam Description
Got a letter from “Chapman & Associates, LLP” claiming that there is an “unclaimed permanent life insurance policy” held by a deceased client. The “client” has the same last name as her. The scammer is asking for her to partner with him for the money that was left behind by the deceased client. He said that the life insurance policy is worth $11,550,300 and is requesting that 10% goes to charity while she gets to split the remaining 90% with him. He introduces himself as Robert W. Chapman and says “I am a partner at Chapman & Associates LLP in Ontario Canada,” but has a UK address on the letter.
