Chris Middlebrook
Complaint 162553 Details

He wrote to me asking if I would pretend to be a lost family member of his deceased client, Peter Reardon, and that Mr Reardon had died along with his wife and daughter. He had left 30 million pounds in a bank. This Mr Chris Middlebrook said that he as the lawyer, and cannot find any other family members and so that the government or bank members take the money, he wanted my help by pretending to be a lost relative. He gave me an address of a lawyer in Africa. We looked it up and there was a photo and the address was correct but the phone number and email address were different. It felt very strange to then we continued looking through the net and came across this scam suit which gave me all the information I was looking for to prove my hunch was correct. He kept telling me he wanted my confidence and that I was not ever to say his name and wanted my phone number to talk more about it all. The English was appealing which gave away the first hint, then his constant saying I want your confidence and that this cannot ever come back to his name of being the person who contacted me first when talking to the bank. Also, that we would go halves in the money after the 5% for repayments of the transaction was completed. These are the best warning signs I got.
