Description

Peter Abbott claims to be a partner of Peter Abbott LLP law firm and sent me a form letter that states as follows: "I am reaching out to discuss a significant matter concerning an unclaimed "permanent life insurance policy" from one of our late clients, late Ms. Maria Brauer, who unfortunately passed away ... due to Covid. Mrs. Brauer left behind a "payable on death" savings account valued at approximately ($10,800,020.00). Proposal details: 10% of retrieved funds will be allocated to various charity organizations. The remaining 90% of the funds will be equitably shared between us 50% each. I did not contact them to learn about the full scam but am attaching a copy of the letter I received.
