Jurgen Kruger Inheritance Scam I have a client that was contacted by the barrister for Jurgen Kruger and as a nurse she knew him! This means nothing! She has spent 50,000 in an attempt to get an inheritance United Kingdom United Kingdom

The barrister or at least one of the so-called "barristers" in the UK for Jurgen "Hans" Kruger who died Dec 13th 2004 (part of it has to be the truth) has scammed several people for a significant amount of money. I am a financial advisor and I am amazed at how many people are falling for this kind of scam. The same premise was used on my client regarding the fact that Mr Kruger believed she was be a good person to give money to because she would help others in need. After my client put approximately $50,000 on her credit cards, the FSA supposedly stepped in and would not release her 30 million dollar (notice all of the similarities) inheritance until she gave them another $10,000. She then said that the FBI contacted her. This whole thing smells very fishy but I felt it was necessary to add to the dialogue regarding this Ripoff. These are becoming more prevelant because of the economy. This is the last thing that people can afford to do right now!
