T he Philippine Consulate General in Los Angeles cautions the public, especially Overseas Filipinos, to beware of Internet fraud schemes and text scams, especially those purported to be involving cash inheritances from persons unrelated to email recipients.
One such modus operandi specifically involves the supposed multi-million dollar inheritance from a certain Engr. Jurgen Krugger being offered to email (online) recipients and allegedly being managed by one of the following:
* Barrister David Smith, Esq. of David Smith and Associates with email address at davidsmith.esqunit@live.com;

The said contact numbers are either numbers of dubious legitimacy or not recognized numbers. The e-mail addresses concerned also tend to vary in some e-mail messages.
