Posted on behalf of the targeted victim:

Good day to you

In the past week or so i received an sms from a David Bailey stating that money was owed to me on my last name.
I've seen an exact cover story on your site. Just names and numbers are different.
Numbers for David Bailey +33756833809, +27730685354 and email address db309431@gmail.com
You will see in some of the messages that i played along. I would then do research on the information that he sent. Just on his the last email the bank he used Access Alliance private bank i found out that it is a fraud bank and just after that i found the scammers web page and blogs of other people who have been taken for a ride by this David Bailey.
He sent me a message on my cell number which he got from i don't know where.
He has got my id though

Thanks for your urgent response.


I am David Bailey, an Operational Manager. (CREDIT SUISSE). Switzerland.

Please ignore the length of this message and take your time to read this message for your understanding. This is very important.

I am contacting you concerning a deceased customer and an investment he placed under our bank's management Nine (9) years ago. I would respectfully request that you keep the contents of this mail confidential and respect the integrity of the information you come by as a result of this mail.

I contacted 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.

In 2009, the subject matter: Dr Andrew xxx (family name tailored to fit victim's family name) came to our bank to engage in business discussions with our private banking division.

He informed us that he had a financial portfolio of Four Million British Pound, which he wished to have us turn over (invest) on his behalf. I was the officer assigned to his case; I made numerous suggestions in line with my duties as the de-facto chief operations officer of the private banking sector, especially given the volume of funds he wished to put into our bank. We met on numerous occasions prior to any investments being placed.

I encouraged him to consider various growth funds with prime ratings. I invested his funds into trading in Stock Market, Crude Oil and Lending with Profit Returns, as my specialty is to advise customers to invest healthily and yield good profit. Based on my advice, we spun the money across various opportunities and made attractive margins for our first months of operation, the accrued profit and interest stood out and my the client was glad about the returns.

In mid-2010, he asked that the money be liquidated because he needed to make an urgent landed property investment requiring cash payments in the Kingdom of Spain. He directed that I liquidate the funds and deposit it with a security firm in a private Bank. Swiss Investment Prestige Private Bank (SIPPB) I informed him that Bank of England would have to make special arrangements to have this done and in order not to circumvent due process, the bank would have to make a 9.5 % deduction from the funds to cater for banking and statutory charges. He complained about the charges but later came around when I explained to him the complexities of the task he was asking of us. Cash movement across borders has become especially strict since the incidents of 9/11. I contacted my affiliate in here in London and made the funds available to the security firm.

I undertook all the processes and made sure I followed his precise instructions to the latter and had the funds deposited at the private Bank, Swiss Investment Prestige Private Bank (SIPPB) is a specialist private Bank that accepts deposits from high net worth individuals and blue-chip corporations that handle valuable products or undertake transactions that need immediate access to cash.

This small and highly private organization is familiar especially to the highly placed and well-connected organizations. In line with instructions, the money was deposited with Swiss Investment Prestige Private Bank (SIPPB). The deceased told me he wanted the money there in anticipation of his arrival from South Africa later that week. This was the last communication we had, this transpired around 25th October 2010. In June last year, we got a call from Swiss Investment Prestige Private Bank (SIPPB informing us that the activity of that particular portfolio.

This was an astounding position as far as I was concerned, given the fact that I managed the private banking sector I was the only one who knew about the deposit at Swiss Investment Prestige Private Bank (SIPPB), and I could not understand why the deceased had not come forward to claim his deposit. I made futile efforts to locate the deceased. I immediately passed the task of locating him to the internal investigations department of Bristol & West. Four days later, information started to trickle in, apparently, our client was dead. A person who suited his description was declared dead of a heart attack in Cannes, South of France.

We were soon enough able to identify the body and the cause of death was confirmed. The bank immediately launched an investigation into possible surviving next of kin to alert about the situation and also to come forward to claim his estate. If you are familiar with private banking affairs, those who patronize our services usually prefer anonymity, but also some levels of detachment from conventional processes. In his bio-data form, he listed no next of kin.

In the field of private banking, opening an account with us means no one will know of its existence, accounts are rarely held under a name; depositors use numbers and codes to make the accounts anonymous. This bank also gives the choice to depositors of having their mail sent to them or held at the bank itself, ensuring that there are no traces of the account and as I said, rarely do they nominate next of kin. Private banking clients apart from not nominating next of kin also usually in most cases leave wills in our care, in this case; the deceased died without a testate.

In line with our internal processes for account holders who have passed away, we instituted our own investigations in good faith to determine who should have right to claim the estate. This investigation has for the past months been unfruitful. We have scanned every continent and used our private investigation affiliate companies to get to the root of the problem. It is this investigation that resulted in my being furnished with your details as a possible relative of the deceased. My official capacity dictates that I am the only party to supervise the investigation and the only party to receive the results of the investigation. What this means, you being the last batch of names we have considered, is that our dear late fellow died with no or identifiable family member. This leaves me as the only person with the full picture of what the prevailing situation is in relation to the deposit and the late beneficiary of the deposit.

According to practice, Swiss Investment Prestige Private Bank (SIPPB) will by the end of this financial year broadcast a request for statements of claim to Bristol & West, failing to receive viable claims they will probably revert the deposit back to Bristol & West. This will result in the money entering the Bristol & West accounting system and the portfolio will be out of my hands and out of the Swiss Investment Prestige Private Bank. This will not happen if I have my way. What I wish to relate to you will smack of unethical practice but I want you to understand something. It is only an outsider to the banking world who finds the internal politics of the banking world aberrational. The world of private banking especially is fraught with huge rewards for those who occupy certain offices and oversee certain portfolios.

You should have begun by now to put together the general direction of what I propose. I alone have the deposit details and they will release the deposit to no one unless I instruct them to do so. I alone know of the existence of this deposit for as far as Bristol & West is concerned, the transaction with our late customer concluded when I sent the funds to Swiss Investment Prestige Private Bank, all outstanding interactions in relation to the file are just customer services and due process.

SIPPB ( Swiss Investment Prestige Private Bank) has no single idea of what, the history or nature of the deposit. They are simply awaiting instructions to release the deposit to any party that comes forward. This is the situation. This bank has spent great amounts of money trying to track this man? Family; they have investigated for months and have found no family. The investigation has come to an end. My proposal; you share similar details to the late fellow; I am prepared to place you in a position to instruct Swiss Prestige Private Bank 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 in half. 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. I assure you that I could have the deposit released to you within a few days. I will simply inform the bank of the final closing of the file relating to the deceased I will then officially communicate with Swiss Investment Prestige Private Bank and instruct them to release the deposit to you. With these two things: all is done. The alternative would be for us to have Swiss Investment Prestige Private Bank direct the funds to another bank with you as the account holder.

This way there will be no need for you to think of traveling to lay claim to the money from Swiss Investment Prestige Private Bank. We can fine-tune this based on our interactions. 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 me 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 fight 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 find 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 and alerting my bank. 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. Let’s 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 positive conclusion. I wish to inform you that should you contact me via official channels; I will deny knowing you and about this project.

I repeat I do not want you contacting me through my official phone lines nor do I want you contacting me through my official email account. Contact me only through my private mobile: also through this email address. I do not want any direct link between you and me to raise suspicion. My official lines are not secure lines as they are periodically monitored to assess our level of customer care in line with our Total Quality Management Policy. (TQMP)

Please observe this instruction religiously. Please, again, note I am a family man; I have a wife and children. 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 to learn t from my private banking years’ experience. Do not betray my confidence if we can be of one accord.

Best Regard
David Bailey

Good Day Partner

Thank you very much for your email and for your understanding. I have been very busy with my office duties, we are presently carrying out auditing and we will be through Tomorrow.

When I read your email I feel safe and you build my confidence in you. I have already forwarded your information to the lawyer that is going to prepare the legal document that will stand your right as the next of kin to my late client.

Please note that this transaction will be carried out with the judiciary of both local and international law, I have forward your information to the lawyer and he promises to finish with the preparation of the document in two working days.

The lawyer charged 18.300.00 EURO. I will take care of the charges I already paid him 10.000.00 and I will pay him the balance when he completes the preparation of the document. Immediately he complete with the preparation of the document i will collect it from him and i will forward it to the Access Alliance Private Bank Limited & Security Company presenting you as the last surviving next of relative of my late client

The lawyer will prepare the last WILL of my late client in your favour and then go-ahead and secure a power of attorney AFFIDAVIT from the high court of France.

I deposited the money myself and I will send a copy of this entire document to you and a copy of the CERTIFICATE of deposit because they might require that document from you to confirm if you are the rightful next of Kin.

Normally they are supposed to give you a date to come over to lay claims to the consignment, because it was deposited in the form of consignment, but I will inform them that you cannot be able to travel right now because of the current Covid 19 Pandemic virus.

You will have to open an online account with Access Alliance Private Bank Limited & Security Company. They also have online banking immunities, i will forward their contact information to you along when am sending the document after the lawyer has completed the preparation of the document.

If you contact them you will inform them that you want to open online account with them to enable you receive the 4.5 Million Euro of your inheritance that is under their custody inside your online account with them, immediately they finish with the opening of your online account with them, they will deposit the money inside your online account with them and they are going to send your online account information to you.

Such as your account number and pin code following with the necessary information you will need to access your online account through their online banking system, after you have received your online account information from them that means the money is already in your possession.

All you need to do is login into your online account with Access Alliance Private Bank Limited and transfer the money from your account with Access Alliance Private Bank Limited to your other account in your country. It will look like you are transferring the money from your account in Europe to your other account in your country. Also you can transfer from your online account with Access Alliance Private Bank Limited to any other account of your choice.

Please understand that money as they say is the root of all evil that is the reason I don't need any third party regarding this transaction, this is between me and you only for security reasons. Even my wife doesn’t know about this because of my position in the office. I am taking this step because if I should inform the authority that my late client does not have any next of kin, automatically the money will be redirected to a government treasuring account as an unclaimed fund.

If my late client were to be alive he would have preferred the money use appropriately or rather come to my own personal use than for the money to revert to a government account as unclaimed funds.

Thank you very much for your understanding once again, you can always reach me with this number: +33756833809 i will wait till i hear from you soon. You can call me any time if i am not busy with my work schedule. I will take the call or I will return your call.

Best regards.
David Bailey
