Old-school business opportunity through Google Plus

The classic Internet scam is known as a 419 Scam. In brief, you receive an email that  seeks your help in moving funds out of a west African country. You are asked to provide your bank information and, possibly, a check to facilitate the transfer.
We don't see them very often any more because most everyone knows to check snopes.com for information about a Nigerian (419) Scam.

The 419 name refers to the section of the Nigerian criminal code regarding theft by fraud. The scam is not limited to Nigeria, however. The messages originate from any of several west African countries.
This morning, I found this message from an attorney in Togo in my Spam folder:

I am looking for a missing client (Gary Hakkarainen) who is traceable to your family tree because he shares the same family name and nationality with you. He is an international investor in solid minerals such as precious stones, diamonds, mercury, gold bars, gold dust, Oil and gas etc. He got missing since his business trip to Saudi Arabia on Wednesday 7th July 2004. But now, there is an urgent need of him or any of his relative because his bank here wants him or his relative to run re-activation process of his bank account with the balance of €22.788Million which became dormant after this past six years the account has not been operated by him. Also a family treasure safe keeping security company here in the name of GSE that he deposited six trunk boxes of Gold Bars and Gold Dust as family treasure and classified bond on 29th December 2003 seeks for him as well. Kindly get back to me so that I will give you his full details to enable you give me any info or link about him that you can possibly provide, and you will be highly rewarded for your time and any help you can offer.

It was sent to me by way of my Google Plus profile. I've since restricted this feature so that only people I know can send me messages in this way.
For the record, Gary is not a close relative. Hakkarainen is a fairly common name in central Finland and, as a result, the diaspora has sent quite a few folks with that name into the wilderness.
