Recently received. Letter from Paul Alfred Thomas, TD Canada Trust Bank, [protected]@gmail.com, stating that I might be an heir to a Joe Granke who died in 2007 in London. Is this for real or a scam? I am highly suspicious especially since the letter is not on any bank letterhead and the city is listed as Ontario, which I know is not a city.

I received my letter today from Mr Lenny Mendoez Canada Trust Bank 9.2 million GEO Rice died in London from cardiac arrest stating we need to make claim to these funds now. Lenny Mendoez is claiming I am the next of kin and once he has these funds released it will be shared between the two of us. Please send your response to this fraudulent piss ant lennymendoez@lennyconsult.com just so every one can send lenny an email just to let him know how we feel about his attempts at scamming money. Karma is no joke these pissants doing this need to understand this attempt at fraud or theft by deception is not a joke what they are doing has a way of coming back to bite them in the [censored]. Sincerly DW Rice...
Mr. Thomas Mendu @ thomasmendu101@gmail.com sure is a busy fellow. He sent me a letter also... same guy Geo dies from heart attack in London leaving $9.2 milllion unclaimed in TD Canada Trust.
I received the same letter as everyone else. Geo -- died in 2010 with 9.2 million but mine was from Lenny Mendoez. Have to say the scammers don't give up easily. Please don't fall for this!
April, 2020
Received a similar letter in E. Grand Forks stating Jean MaCrae, an account manager with TD Bank Canada; and a deceased relative in London, Ontario Canada has left an account with over $9.2 million USD. Apparently a scam.
Why won't anyone just go along with the letter's instructions so that one of us here on this blog can legitimately say that, "yes, it was a scam and these so-called managers asked me to send $5000 for processing fee of this transaction, etc...". then at least one of us can really say it is a scam, and these people are just wanting to score money from innocent victims like us. Dare, anyone? At least one of us here can say what this scam is all about (if this is a scam). What if none of these managers want money from us, but, instead, they just want a piece of the action- and as long as the split is fair, and everyone is happy, right? But beware, if these managers start asking for money, then that's when you can say "HELL NO!" and simply run. Then one of us can complete the ending of this suspicious scam...
First, IF it were legitimate and only "want a piece of the action" that would be fraud and put everyone on the hook for major prison time. In Texas, that dollar amount would put you in First degree felony charges, not to mention federal charges. Again, IF it were true, but it is not. Second point, add up the number of people reporting this in this thread alone and multiply that by the dollar amount offered. Seem outlandish yet?
Your comments are leading me to think you are hoping that this may be something leading to money. It's not. There's no such thing, prosecutors all over the country have put out warnings for this very scam. At its worst, responding to this will lead to losing money or having your identity stolen. At best, responding will confirm to the scammer that your contact info is legitimate and can be sold to other scammers.
I received a letter from a Jean Macrae. Works at TD BAnk canada, 9.2 million inheritance from someone I’ve never heard of. He wants to split the money. He even send a death certificate. Now he just wants me to send a letter claiming the money to the bank along with the death cert and a copy of my driver’s license. I just can’t figure out where the scam comes in- he hasn’t asked for money.
Well... what’s the latest? So curious!
Getting your driver's license may be enough for the scam. Name, Date of Birth, valid address, photo. Many places will allow you to open an account or verify your identity by electronically sending a photo of your ID. Scammers don't always have to ask for money if you give them the "key" to your identity.
I received same letter today from Daniel McFarland.
GEO is The deceased same last name as mine. Lol died under the exact same circumstances.
Really?! Give me a break.
My husband received a similar letter today from a Steve Anderson. The circumstances of death have changed to a “ghastly car crash” and the amount of cash in his bank account had gone up to $47, 500, 000.00! I could tell by reading the letter that English is not this person’s first language. Beware.
Got mine today from James Noval, TD Canada Bank. My relative, George died in...you guessed it...London!
Wonder how many folks have actually been duped by this guy(s)?
Hmm, I guess i must be special. My scam letter from TD Canada trust said I had 24.5 million waiting for me!
Oh if we could only take these scammers to task over this, it would be so nice to see them get what they deserve.
I received my letter at my office today. Said I was the next of kin of a George Raby. My last name is through marriage so surely there are many next of kin ahead of me including my husband, my children, my sister-in-law, her children, and all of their cousins who are offspring of family members older than my father-in-law! It's a shame that there are innocent people that fall for these scams! It's too bad. I could do a lot of good with $9.2 million USD!
I received the same letter from a Daniel Tibor saying I am the heir to 24.5 Million USD. My last name is through marriage, and there a LOT of legitimate relatives he could have contacted. SCAM if I ever saw one.
Pat
Yes, Daniel Tibor is still at it. I received my letter today with the same 24.5M offering.
I would have thought he'd have been prosecuted by now, or just given up.
Well, I will add my two cents. I just received a Notice by mail today March 9, 2021, from Larry Wolf claiming that I am the inheritor of a 9, 764 million Dollar from a relative with the same last name as mine who died in London from Cardiac Arrest back in 2010. The Letter is from a Canada Trust Bank. Would be nice if it were true, but everyone please be careful, and do not provide any of your information to these scam solicitations. Hopefully, they'll locate and prosecute these scammers.
My letter says exact same thing
Same letter came to me today... but it was for a relative with my married name - so that was a big red-flag right away since the person would've been my husband's relative - not mine. After I read the first paragraph, I knew it was a scam. Can't believe people actually fall for this. Sad.
I just received a letter today, from Lenny Mendoez claiming I am heir to 9.2 million dollars.
My husband received one from his as well...
This is so sad! I was already making plans thinking that my husband was a millionaire! LOL 🤪😭🤣
Ok here is the scam if you get a letter. Regardless it will start off someone died and some lawyer is trying to reach you because woohoo there is a boat load of money with your name on it. You do the happy dance and email them back saying yes yes yes show me the money. The next step will be that they will email you back saying that they are serious and send you all kinds of fake documents, maybe a passport showing that they are legit (but if you do a google image search you can find the fake image as someone else). But hell you want your money so you go forward and reply to the mail with what ever information they are asking for. Next is the scam. To get the process started they will need money. How much depends on the scammer. They will say to do the documents and what ever else is needed you will need to send them funds which they will repay you once you get the money and they will pay you out of there split. I stopped dealing with them after that part but I'm guessing you send the money wait by your mailbox for that big check everyday wondering where your money is at.
My wife received a letter last month. Same deal 9.2 mill, London Ontario, blah blah...
email was jmacrae@fairfaxlink.com
Garbage!
My husband received one today almost identical to yours. It was Canada Post too.
Good to see that this scam still has 'legs' ...
I received a letter yesterday (Feb 2022) from "TD Canada Trust." Same basic details: someone with my last name died in London, Ontario in 2012 this time, leaving $9.2M USD. Sent with a Canada Postes metered mail stamp. Low grade copy, skimps on ink. Etc. The contact, Mr. Matias Edison, has an email address that leads to a parked domain on GoDaddy.com (figures). Two funny details:
- The letter is 100% black + white; they didn't even bother to make the TD logo green.
- There is a faint outline of *another* similar letter imprinted into the sheet of paper, upside down!
The RCMPs should be investigating: there are a lot of wealthy, lonely American ex-pats dying in London, Ontario! ;-)
Mr Daniel Tibor is still at iT! That 9.2 Million sure sounds Great but the fact he says “once the funds are released they will be shared between us”…. What makes him think I’m not a SCAMMER Too!😏😏😏…. This is a Busy Guy that needs to be behind Bars with no printer or Bad copy paper!😜
Are people really that stupid ?
My wife just received a letter from Mr. Daniel Tibor with a relative that died in 2012 of a cardiac arrest. He too had USD 9.2 million in his estate. Is a Canadian or US agency looking into this guy?
It's a scam. I just got the same exact letter, from Daniel Tibor, relative died in 2012 of cardiac arrest, had $9.2 million.
I got one, too! LOL. What a scam. And because they're using US mail, I believe this is mail fraud, a felony. Turning it into the post office.
Daniel Tibor letter received in Oregon today. Says 9.2M was left without heir by guy that died of cardiac arrest in 2012. Asking me because dead guy shares my last name do I want to go in with him to scam the loot. Kek.
I just received a letter from Daniel Tibor yesterday stating the same thing I guess he does not use google
Received the same letter 2 weeks ago. The name on the envelope was not even close to my name! Obvious scam. This looked more professional than the "Spanish Letter" i received a few years ago. However, the scammer didn't even bother to use a color laser printer as the bank logo was in black, rather than the real bank logo which is in green.
I am going up to Toronto in a few weeks to visit with a friend who worked for Scotia Bank until he retired. I'm sure he will get a kick out of it.
As they say, you can't cheat an honest man!
Same exact letter name
Changed - SCAM
Received same scam as well...May 2022
Also received this same letter from : Daniel Tibor, LOL..what a joke of a human being!
I just received a letter from Daniel Tibor, with letterhead CANADA TRUST, not address or phone number, but a funky email address dtibor@efaxemail.com. Yes, I am to receive 9.2 million dollars! Lucky me.
I also received a bogus letter from sketchy Danial Tibor. Called the Canadian fraud office and they said , yep, they have received many complaints and are apparently doing nothing bout it.
Just received a letter similar to all of those mentioned in the comments. Must act fast so that 9.2 million dollars can be claimed and split with the writer, Jean Macrae 🙄
2022 and this letter is still being sent out! The weirdest part to me was that the envelope was printed with “Voila By sobeys” in the return address area. A quick search showed that it’s a grocery store in Canada.
I received a letter dated August 22nd from Michael Reid Account Manger with TD Canada Trust Bank 77 Bloor St. W, Toronto ON M55 1 M2 Canada- stating I am the only living family member of Engr. James Peters who died in an automobile accident and left $47,500,00 in his TD Bank Private Investment Company account. He’s asking me to email him at info.secure@securedom.net to claim the money and wants me to split it with him 50% each.
LOL, got the same letter today...ENGR JAMES ESTILL.
This guy is an idiot!
Hey Diane, I got the same letter today, only he changed his last name to Reynolds. Same bank, same amount. And of course he changed the deceased last name to mine. Only if we did have relatives with that kind of money! But, we would probably known about it by now. Have fun spending your millions, or are they my millions, LOL
Steve from Florida
I got the same letter today, acct manager Matias Edison. Definitely a fake. Let me guess, your letter says your relative died in London, 9.2 million dollars
I got a the same letter telling me of the 9.2 million. I acted like I would go through with it and the next step is you have to send a picture of your driver's license to claim the funds. I don't trust that and feel it might be identity theft especially since everyone else is inhering the exact same amount of 9.2 million.
I received the same letter from a Matias Edison. Asking for discretion and to split the funds of 9.2 million USD, from a bank in Canada... of a relative that died in 2012 in London...Don't get me wrong, would love to receive a letter like this if it was legit.
I received one today from JEAN MACRAE. Same letter as above, Mr. HYLTON _______, cardiac arrest 2012, 9.2 million. No next of kin. It came in a TD Securities envelope! & TD Securities letterhead. Email jmacrae@fairfaxlink.com.
Return Address: PO Box 4250 Stn Main, concord,ON L4K 0M3
I received one as well. I’m and old guy here in Southern Oregon, and I must admit, this is a new approach. .
Evidently, I had a relative in Canada that kicked the bucket 10 years ago, named Hylton. Really? Cool name! And it’s another cool $9.2 million that’s been floating around their bank since 2012.
I had a feeling that I had boat loads of money coming my way. If for no other reason, because I’m just one hell of a guy. I was wondering where it was!
But wouldn’t you know it, London, Canada is always the last place you look.
After an arduous search, scam artist alias, “JEAN MACRAE finally found me. Man she’s good! And it only took her 10 years.
If they want to impress us, enclose a check for 10% and I think we will all pay attention at that point. If a check to me for $920,000 clears my bank, then dang it!; I’ll provide my email, and then fly to London, Canada just to buy Jean baby a big dinner.

Euroguy in the U.S.
I received the same letter from Matias Edison.
I would have been getting half of 9.2 million as per his Confidentiality and Trust Agreement he emailed me.
Scammers like this tend to not care about the feelings of others.
They are only selfish looking for money for themselves.
I created a report online with the US Postal Inspection Service regarding this scam under the category of a fiduciary scam.
The offcial website is: https://www.uspis.gov/report
I hope the USPS will take action and stop this since based on this website it has been going on since at least 2017.
I just received my letter today. Sounds like a lot of Americans were dying in 2012 in Canada; Mr. Tibor is certainly a busy guy. He obviously doesn't know my relatives; if there were even one-tenth that much money up for grabs my kin would be combing the streets of Toronto demanding their share of the loot. This scam might actually work, if the scammer invested in some proper stationery and did a better job printing off the letter. As it is, I don't think that any bank handling this amount of money would use the cheapest paper available. Sorry, I'll take a pass.
Letter received US Postal mail from Canada Post to Florida
Postage paid 2829371
from Daniel Tibor account manager with TD Canada Trustv Bank
$9.2 million inheritance
Email: dtibor@efaxemail.com
I just received the same letter dated October 3, 2022 from a: Michael Torres stating that a relative of mine with the same last name died and had no heir to the $47,500,000.00 and that we will share the funds in the ratio of 50% for him and 50% for me.
SCAM
I got the same let same name of sender and same amount of money 10/29/2022
We received the same letter today, from Canada! I'm going for it! LOL
Received a letter dated 12/5/22 from Daniel Tibor. Same exact description as everyone else on this thread.
I actually looked up the deceased person he mentioned with my name and he did not pass 2012 and he did have children and a wife.
This guy or organization of scammers are not doing their homework, with google these days you can pretty much find out anything with a little research. That's how I found this page and thread.
It is very SAD and horrible that they manage to trick innocent people with this BS.
Well Mr Daniel Tibor is still at it. Just received my letter dated 04/05/23 regarding someone with the same last name leaving $9,200,000. The letter stated he has been trying to locate a next of kin for almost 10 years with no luck and he was contacting with an inheritance opportunity. Oh, yeah, I need to keep this confidential as he was going to name me as the beneficiary for a 50-50 split. BTW, he is still using dtibor@efaxemail.com as his contact email. Googled it right away and found this thread.
Total Scam, don't fall for it!
I just received the same letter for only $9.2 million, but at least there was no mention of sharing. The guy in charge is now Mateo Anderson at mateo@mandersonconsult.com
His Name has NOW changed to "Eric M. Jones", Banker TD Canada Trust Bank - same Bravo Sierra story. The letter is addressed to my wife, whose last name was NOT who he's asking for... It's my last name. Sadly, my wife passed away several years ago - his letter is dated 3/28/2023. He wants half of the 9.764 Million "Dollars" that is "available". Wish he'd come to Texas and get some REAL justice, I'd love to "Meet" this guy...
I just received one today (4/29/23) from Meteo Anderson w/TD Canada Trust as well. That $9.2 mil seems to be a magical number. A relative with the same last name. He was a citizen of the US but died in the UK of cardiac arrest in 2013. He says there's an expiration of 10 years for unclaimed estate funds. I had better hurry up and give him my banking information I guess. LOL. Yeah right. Next he'll be representing a Saudi prince wanting to give me money as well. What losers out there. Get a real job. Earn an honest living instead of trying to scam people out of their hard earned money.
Well Mr Daniel Tibor is still at it. Just received my letter dated 04/27/23 regarding someone with the same last name leaving $9,200,000. The letter stated he has been trying to locate a next of kin for almost 10 years with no luck and he was contacting with an inheritance opportunity. Oh, yeah, I need to keep this confidential as he was going to name me as the beneficiary for a 50-50 split. BTW, he is still using dtibor@efaxemail.com as his contact email. Googled it right away and found this thread.
I just received the same letter, dated 4/27/23, but with an email of daniel@tiberwealthmgmt.com (which is a parked domain at GoDaddy). Interesting how he found the name of my grandfather, but only the shortened version and no middle initial. It's also interesting how the signature isn't remotely close to "Tiber". I knew right away it was a scam.
I just received the same letter from Eric M. Jones, for $9,764,000 and since I am a genealogist, this letter is really disturbing, since there are lots of people out there who would like to know about distant relatives and would truly mourn their loss. What a horrible scam.
Me too, exactly same amount. Just today August 17, 2023. Scammers abound these days. Bank fraud, catfishing, of late it is almost weekly in mail, linkedin contacts, emails at work...
I too received just today (August 19, 2023) a letter from Eric M. Jones indicating that Mr. Henry Montelius passed away in Toronto, Canada from cardiac arrest. He apparently left a bank account with $9,764,000. He died intestate - so, having no will and apparently no family to claim the inheritance, Mr. Jones contacted me as I have the same last name. He wants me to apply as the next of kin and beneficiary and (his words) "once the funds are released to you, they will be shared between the two of us."
I must say, I have never received a scam letter like this before...
I received a version of this scam letter yesterday. The scammer even misspelled his first name: "MCHAEL".
TD Bank should open a fraud case with the Canadian authorities.
