Hang Seng Bank Ltd Letter Scam: Peter Wong
June 12, 2006
If you’ve gotten an email that looks like this one
FROM:Mr.Peter Wong
Hang Seng Bank Ltd
17 Des Voeux Road
Hq Branch.
Hong Kong.
Hello,
I sincerely ask for forgiveness for I know this may seem like a complete intrusion to your privacy but right about now this is my only option of communication. This mail might come to you as a surprise and the temptation to ignore it as unserious could come into your mind; but please consider it a divine wish and accept it with a deep sense of humility. I am Mr. Peter Wong director of operations of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd. I have an obscured business suggestion for you.
I want you to know that this is an email scam. “Peter Wong” (in this particular case) is a false name. More than likely this person is from Nigeria. That is where most of these scammers come from.

Man gets Caught up by Nigerian E-mail scammers Look at this:

If you read the letter in the link above, he has some of the same elements in his plea for help. Except its from a “MR. CHEUNG PUI”. Notice that the company is the same as well, Hang Seng Bank Ltd. “Hang Seng Bank Ltd” maybe a legit complany in China (the equivalent of a Bank of America) but these Nigerian email scammer are using their name.

Hello All,
I received an email from a Mr. Cheung Pui from Hang Seng Bank LTD. I did some research and if it’s correct Mr. Cheung Pui is deceased. The bank is real in China, it’s equivalent to a Bank of America. Below is the email I recieved. I do not know how I keep getting emails like this. If anyone knows how I can stop it, please let me know. Thanks

MR CHEUNG PUI
Hang Seng Bank Ltd
Sai Wan Ho Branch
171 Shaukiwan Road
Hong Kong.
Good Day,
Although, I do not know you in person, I have received your contact
via,
personal search while seeking a reliable but obscure individual to
assist
me in this pending transaction.
It became necessary for me to seek your assistance as I Want you to
Assist me in investing my share of the money in your Country.
Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr. Cheung Pui director of
operations of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd. I have an Obscured business
suggestion for you.
Before the U.S and Iraqi war our client Major Fadi Basem who was with
the
Iraqi forces and also business man made a Numbered fixed deposit for 18
calendar months, with a value of
Twenty Four million Five Hundred Thousand United State
Dollars only in my branch. Upon maturity several notices was sent to
him,
even during the war early this year. Again after the war another
notification was sent and still no response came
from him. We later find out that the Major and his family had been
killed
during the war in bomb blast that hit their home.
After further investigation it was also discovered that Major Fadi
Basem
did not declare any next of kin in his official papers including the
paper
work of his bank deposit.And he also
confided in me the last time he was at my office that no one except me
knew of his deposit in my bank. So,
Twenty Four millions Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars is
still
lying in my bank and no one will ever come forward to claim it. What
bothers me most is that according to the to
the laws of my country at the expiration 7 years the funds will revert
to
the ownership of the Hong Kong Government if nobody applies to claim
the
funds. Against this backdrop, my
suggestion to you is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand as
the
next of kin to Major Fadi Basem so that you will be able to receive his
funds.
WHAT IS TO BE DONE:
I want you to know that I have had everything planned out so that we
shall
come out successful. I have contacted an Attorney that will prepare the
necessary document that will back
you up as the next of kin to Major Fadi Basem , all That is required
from
you at this stage is for you to provide me with your Full Names and
Address so that the attorney can commence
his job. After you have been made the next of kin, the attorney will
also
file in for claims on your behalf and secure the necessary approval and
letter of probate in your favor for the move
of the funds to an account that will be provided by you.
There is no risk involved at all in the matter as we are going adopt a
legalized method and the attorney will prepare all the necessary
documents. Please endeavor to observe utmost
discretion in all matters concerning this issue.
Should you be interested please send me your full names and current
residential address and I will prefers you to reach me on the email
address below (
cheung_pui_director_hangseng0@yahoo.com) and finally after that I shall
provide you with more details of this transaction.
Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated. Note that
the
sharing rate as soon as this transaction is concluded is 30% for you,
60%
for me and the remaining 10% for any
expenses we both incur in the process of this transaction, If this is
okay
by you, Contact me only via this my confidential email box.
Kind Regards
Mr. Cheung Pui

Greetings,
Thanks for the email. Brief History Of The Funds: I have more than 158 Corporate Investors attached to my portfolio whose Capital Investment Funds are being managed and administered by me.This Capital Investment Funds has a value of over US$22Billion net. The US$22B is been used for trading in Stock Market, Crude Oil and Lending with Profit Returns. Every end of year, each corporate investor is expected to receive interest from his total Investment Capital Funds. However, I make an excess of 1.2% from the Investor’s Investment Capital Funds annually which have exceeded our targeted 20% of Total Investment Capital Funds. This extra of 1.2% from the 21.2% is been retained by me as my personal profits for managing the Capital Investment. However, I cannot claim these funds without presenting someone to stand as an Investor otherwise our establishment will convert the funds into the company’s treasury. The amount am talking about here is $6.5millionUSD. I really want to invest in any enterprise you will suggest but firstly i need you to stand as one of the investors in my bank. This is why I have come to you for the deal to take place. I will not make any move until you clearly understand me and grant approval.
I hope this gives a clear picture of the messege i am trying to convey. In my next email i will send you the procedure on how this project will be executed and my ID for you to know who you are dealing with if you are still interested.
Thanks.
Respectfully,
Mr. Peter Wong.
I received one too:
from: peter wong (jpeter.wong33@verizon.net)
(peterwong400@yahoo.com.hk)
I am Mr.Peter Wong from Hang Seng Bank Ltd Hong Kong, I have a late client funds in my bank and i need you to front as beneficiary,if interested contact me for more details on mail:jpeterwong@yahoo.com.hk
Sincerely,
Mr.Peter Wong.
I got this one (the name is changed to Alexander Flockhart).
>Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr. Alexander A Flockhart
>Board of Director Officer of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd.I have a Secured
>business suggestion for you of $30,000,000,00,Reply back if
>interested.
Mr. Wong emailed me with the same info - his email is HangSengBankplc
Same #’s 6.5M and Kelly Page is also someone who is on the other end of it - he mentions to open an account. For some reason this email initially sounded like an investor wanting to buy properties in US. So he promises to do this once you “open and account” and monies are transferred. Even when you send him an email with a link to a scam page he will say I didn’t ask you to pay a dime.
Interesting. Then when you try to Google Earth the Bank with the address you cannot find it. Interestingly enough, the Hang Seng Bank does have a Peter Wong listed as part of their team. The key is the email - it’s not the same as that banks. The same thing with Standard Life Bank. If these names sound familiar
I actually contacted the bank regarding the email that i got.
It is a real bank.
I can’t quite remember what it said, it was a while back, and they say that they were taking it up with their IT and local police.
Given how long ago that was, and the last post in here, I can see that nothing has been done.
It’s what you get when you try and do the right thing:(
The latest twist includes a reference to one of Saddam Hussein’s sons, whom died quite publicly early on in the war…….
“Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr.Peter T S Wong director of operations of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd in Hong Kong.I have an obscured business suggestion for you.
Before the U.S and Iraqi war one of our client Colonel Sadiq Uday who was with the Iraqi forces and also businessman made a numbered fixed deposit for 18 calendar months…….
Upon maturity several notices was sent to him, even during the war
which began in 2003. Again after the war another notification was sent and still no response came from him. We later find out that the General along with his wife and only daughter had been killed during the war in a bomb blast that hit their home………
Colonel Sadiq Uday did not declare any next of kin in his official papers including the paper work of his bank deposit. And he also confided in me the last time he was at my office that no one except me knew of his deposit in my bank. So, One hundred & twenty five million, seven hundred & fifty thousand U.S dollars is still lying in my bank and no one will ever come forward to claim it……..
When I discovered he and his family is dead i had to look for a very reliable person who can stand as the Next of kin to that funds, so that the funds will be transfered out of the bank immediately. What bothers me most is that according to the laws of my country at the expiration 5 years the funds will revert to the ownership of the Hong Kong Government if nobody applies to claim the funds…..
Therefore , if you know you are capable of involving in this mouth
watering transaction, please send me an email to my Private email below, so that i will give you more details about this transaction and how we will successfully carry out this transaction without any risk involved.”
I have trouble believing anyone falling for this, but i guess when “One hundred & twenty five million, seven hundred & fifty thousand U.S dollars” is at stake somebody out there will bite…AMAZING
This is clearly a scam! STAY AWAY from that.
First, that guy is using a real bank name, but his email addresses always change. Second, his name is also not consistent: Patrick K. W. Wong, Mr. Peter Wong, Peter S.K Wong, etc…name them! Third, his stories make no sense, if they were true they would be illegal actions that yoiu should stay away from at any time.
The best you can do is to report with your email service provider and alert authorities if you enter in contact with him.
All the best!
All of us at one time or another wish for that something more to help with our lifestyle.These scammers pry on that.
Any legit company will not ask you send money to release it.
Be careful how you spend your hard earned money.
After all,it’s your sweat.
Shit, Yesterday I recieved that fucking mail and surprised, and I believed that He (Peter Wong) want to make that kind of operation. but unfortunatelly he doesn’t.
But I still don’t understand why he (they) need it??? Just for getting our identification??? It is very and very interesting
This guy is something else! I just got one from Mr. Patrick Chan. Checked the company website, and there is actually a Patrick K. W. Chan, company CFO, on the board of directors. This guy, as we Americans say, has balls of brass!!
Anyway, standard letter, except my benefactor, deceased of course, was Gen. Khalid Ali Abdullah, of the Iraqi Army. The email was from ccccpptri000016@earthlink.net.
If I want to claim the $24,500,000 (ha ha) I respond to patr54chan@yahoo.com.hk,of
course with my private info.

=================================================
4th June, 2008.
Greetings,
I am Mr. Peter Wong, one of Hang Seng Bank Ltd board of directors here in Hong Kong. I handle all our Investor’s Direct Capital Funds and i made 1.2% Excess Maximum Return Capital Profit (EMRCP) per annum on each of the Investor’s Capital Funds. As an expert, I have made over $6.5M from Investor’s EMRCP and hereby looking for someone to trust who will stand as an Investor to receive the funds as Annual Investment Proceeds which i would like to finish before work start fully this new year.
Brief history of funds: I have more than 158 Corporate Investors attached to my portfolio whose Capital Investment Funds are being managed and administered by me. This Capital Investment Funds has a value of over US$22Billion net. The US$22B is been used for trading in Stock Market, Crude Oil and Lending with Profit Returns. Every end of year, each corporate investor is expected to receive interest from his total Investment Capital Funds. However, I cannot claim these funds without presenting someone to stand as an Investor otherwise our establishment will convert the funds into the company’s treasury. This is why I have come to you for the deal to take place.
Details on how this project will be executed will given to you as soon as i read from you.
Respectfully,
Mr. Peter Wong.

First I wish to thank you for your response.
I sincerely appreciate your interest to assist me in this transaction, however I would like to be sure of your willingness, trustworthiness and commitment to execute this project with me, I cannot afford to compromise these virtues and none of your personal information will be shared with anybody whatsoever, I have my principles.
I got hold of your email through the web directries and I had decided to contact you since I needed a reliable foreigner that can help me pull the funds out of my bank as I cannot do it myself and I do not want anyone around me (family, friends and my bank) to be aware that the move is from me.
I want you to know that I have had everything planned out so that we shall come out successful. I have contacted an attorney that will prepare the necessary document that will back you up as the next of kin to Col. Ahmad Ali Mohamed Hassan, and all that is required from you at this stage is for you to provide me with your Full Names, your Age and Address so that the attorney can commence his job. The attorney will prepare the Affidavits which shall legally put you in place as next of kin, he will obtain the necessary clearances which will cover all the aspects involved in this transaction from the Hong Kong authorities including the Justice department.
What I expect from you is trust and commitment, I want this huge sum of money (Ten Million Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars) transferred with your assistance. The fact that you are a foreigner give you the priviledge to stand in as my deceased client beneficiary and I assure you that none of his relatives will ever come for the funds. What bothers me most is that according to the laws of my country at the expiration of 4 years the funds will revert to the ownership of the Hong Kong Government if nobody applies to claim the funds. Hence, I want us to act fast and get this funds transferred in our favour and as a banker I know that if we follow up this transaction diligently it would be completed within 12 working days.
I want you to assure me that you will follow up this business seriously and as soon as I hear from you with your information, I shall give the Attorney a go-ahead to prepare the documents in your name. I shall be waiting for your response and assurance in this regard, you need to be someone whom I can rely upon, at least for absolute commitment.
I await your response.
Sincerely,
Patrick Chan.

Any similarity is not a coincidence!
Financial fraud
Advanced Fee Fraud: 4-1-9 letters (Nigerian letters)
For more than 16 years, private individuals, as well as organizations and commercial companies, have been receiving unexpected communication through letters and faxes but mainly through e-mails from senders claiming to be Nigerian or African citizens and promising high profitable business. According to the relevant section of the Criminal Code of Nigeria it is referred to as 4-1-9 Fraud.
In general, the solicitation for a profitable money deal is very simple and almost always similar:
The unknown sender purports to be the family relative or close friend of a former member of the government or an important and rich businessman who lost his life during political changes or during the September 11 attack or an accident
Before the person died he deposited a large amount of money in a bank account in Nigeria. The alleged amount may vary between 800.000 USD and 100.000.000 USD or more
The sender of the letter maintains that he has legal access to the account and intends to transfer the money to a foreign account
The sender found the name and address of the receiver through recommendation or by chance and the receiver is the only trustworthy person able to assist him in the successful transfer of the money
For his assistance the mail receiver is promised between 15% to 50% of the total amount
The mail sender requests discreet and confidential handling of the deal while the expected enormous profit makes the receiver forget or ignore all rules of secure and professional business. The victim is asked to open a special bank account to allow the correct remittance of the money.
The next phase of the fraud is convincing the victims that the money transfer is in progress. Several documents are provided bearing apparently official Nigerian government letterhead and seals, as well as false letters of credit, payment schedules and bank drafts. The name of the victim is almost always already mentioned in the documents.
An extensive exchange of e-mails, faxes and telephone calls takes place between the perpetrators and the victims in order to gain the victim’s confidence and to collect as much private information about him as possible. The information e.g. of bank accounts, ID documents, addresses and contact persons is often used later on to commit further criminal offences in the name of the victim.
In the next stage the intended fraud takes place. The fraudsters convey that some problems have suddenly arisen which can only be solved with the assistance of the victim. An official is demanding an up-front bribe, or an unforeseen tax payment or fee to the Nigerian government has to be paid before the money can be transferred. These can include e.g. licensing fees, registration fees, and various forms of taxes and attorney fees. Each fee paid is described as the very last fee required. Invariably, oversights and errors in the deal are discovered by the Nigerians, necessitating additional payments and allowing the scheme to be stretched out over a long period until the victim is no longer willing to invest any money.
In a possible follow-up stage victims are requested to travel to Nigeria or a border country to complete a transaction. The perpetrators maintain that a visa is not necessary to enter the country while arranging with airport officials for the victims to pass through Immigration and Customs. As it is a serious offence in Nigeria to enter without a valid visa, the victim’s illegal entry may be used by the fraudsters as leverage to coerce the victims into releasing funds. Violence and threats of physical harm may be employed to put further pressure on victims.
Victims might also be asked to travel to a neutral country where the money could be handed over in a hotel room. European capitals as London, Madrid and Amsterdam were identified as a favourite venue for this.
The Black Money Scheme
During such meetings, the fraudsters present suitcases which are allegedly full of genuine money to the victim. The notes usually have the size of 100USD bills and are all coloured black. The victim is told that they have been coated with a special substance in order to smuggle these out of the country. A special cleaning liquid is required to wash the notes in order to return them to their original state which costs between 10,000USD and 500,000USD. Having initial physical contact with the enormous amount of promised money seems for the victim to be the final step required to enter into possession of the money. All the victims obtain in the end is worthless paper.
The good and the bad
A possible intermediate step before the Black Money Scam takes place could be as follows. When the victim is no longer willing to pay advance fees, the team of fraudsters may disappear and contact is interrupted. After a while the victim may be contacted through the same channels by a new generation of fraudsters maintaining that they are investigators, aware of the fraud and willing and able to assist the victim in getting his lost money back. However, this is only another criminal attempt to ask the victim for more money to cover the unexpected cost of the investigations.
What to do
if you receive one of these fraudulent messages:
Do not reply to any of these messages
Do not surrender details of your bank accounts
Do not surrender details of your company
Do not send or hand over ID documents and letters with your personal or official letterheads and logos - not even copies -
What to do
If you are already in contact with perpetrators or have already paid advance fees:
Save all received and sent messages
Save all documents of transactions and remittances
Do not agree to attend meetings where money is promised to be handed over to you
Contact your local police forces and follow their advice
For this time, also, I have got several mails from Mr Patrick Chan, I asked him to write me in spanish, so, he did it, also, I asked him to send me a copy from his ID in hang seng bank and He did it. Finaly I was searching into website from hang seng bank and I found so much information about, including from Mr Patrick as a big criminal. But thanks God I did not send anything from me to him. Now I wonder if that bank does not know about Mr Patrick, yet? What happen? Why the authority in that coutry does not investigate him (Mr patrick K W Chan).
// To My Belief this is Obviously some form of ID theft, Don’t mess with it I wouldn’t even email him back.

Hey, Don’t you just love these letters. I have been corresponding with Mr. PATRICK CHAN - Director of the HANG SENG BANK IN HONG KONG with an offer of ten million 500 thousand dollars to split! Guess he has unloaded some of the other millions. OH, darn, and I wanted it all!!!! Anyway BEWARE, and don’t give out your information. In my letter he wants to make me a next of kin to Col. AHMAD ALI MOHAMED HASSAN. I’m sure that would go great with a last name of GOOD Ole AMERICAN “CLARK”. I just wonder if anyone in this country will really fall for such BS.
I ask Mr. Patrick Chan to send me all his personal info so we could set up a nice bank account in both our names, but he suggested he has an attorney to handle everything, so I didn’t need his info. I told him I was an attorney and had banking connections to open an account he could just send all those millions to. Of course I haven’t heard anything back from him. Humm, I wonder if he TRUSTS me to share???

after that i did reply his email and this wart he reply
Dear Friend,
Goodday.I was the one that contacted you regarding the funds left unclaimed in my bank by a deceased client.Nobody will ever come for this funds because his entire family died with him due to the bomb explosion that hit their home and my bank also carried out their search to locate the next of kin or the beneficiary to the deceased times without number but all effort proved abortive,all in vain.I was the personal banker to the late major as at that time and no next of kin was written on the documents he used in depositing the funds in my bank.
I am a family man with two children and a lovely wife and i just did my 30years of anniversary of my employment.I am a man with reputation earned from my good work in my place of work.I need a reliable,trust worthy and a committed partner who could assist in transfering the funds that was why i contacted you.I am the director of operations of my bank and i have being in the banking world for 30years now.I have all it takes to have this funds transfered without hich.As a banker,i will make sure it passes through all laws of international banking and on the other hand,my attorney will also be there to give it the legal backing it requires,So you do not have anything to worry about because it is 100% legal and risk free.If you are interested,get back to me with any form of your identification(driver’s license,work ID,international pass-port e.t.c) in order for me to instruct my attorney to commerce on the paper work.

Mr.Patrick Chan.

I also receive an e-mail, but I knew that it was a scam. All of the e-mails I received saying that I won something or I can earn fast money using this were all scams. I already new that they were scams without even going onto Google and searching for it. Here was what Patrick Chan sent to me:
“I am Patrick Chan Executive Director & Chief financial officer

Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr.Huang Yanxiong credit officer
of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd. I have a concealed business suggestion for you.
Before the U.S and Iraqi war our client General.Mohammed Ridzuan who was
with the Iraqi forces and also business man made a numbered fixed deposit
for 18 calendar months, with a value of Twenty million Five Hundred
Thousand United State Dollars only in my branch. Upon maturity several
notices was sent to him, even during the war early this year.Again after
the war another notification was sent and still no response came from him.
We later find out that the General and his family had been killed during
the war in bomb blast that hit their home.
After further investigation it was also discovered that Gen. Mohammed
Ridzuan did not declare any next of kin in his official papers including
the paper work of his bank deposit. And he also confided in me the last
time he was at my office that no one except me knew of his deposit in my
bank. So, Twenty millions Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars is
still lying in my bank and no one will ever come forward to claim it. What
bothers me most is that according to the laws of my country at the
expiration three years the funds will revert to the ownership of the Hong
Kong Government if nobody applies to claim the funds. Against this
backdrop, my suggestion to you is that I will like you as a foreigner to
stand as the next of Kin to Gen. Mohammed Ridzuan so that you will be able
to receive his funds.
There is no risk involved at all in the matter as we are going adopt a
legalized method and the attorney will prepare all the necessary
documents. Please endeavor to observe utmost discretion in all matters
concerning this issue.Once the funds have been transferred, we shall share
in the ratio of 65% for me, 35% for you.Should you be interested please
send me your private phone and fax numbers for easy communication, you can
and I will provide you with more details of this operation.
Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated.

To: undisclosed-recipients
–
Good Day,
Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr. Patrick K.W. Chan (Executive Director and Chief Financial Officer) of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd. I have an obscured business suggestion for you.
Before the U.S and Iraqi war our client Gen. Abbas Radhi Ismail who was with the Iraqi forces and also businessman made a numbered fixed deposit for 18 calendar months, with a value of (Twenty Four million Five Hundred Thousand United State
Dollars only) in my branch. Upon maturity several notices was sent to him, even during the war which began in 2003. Again after the war has subsided, another notification was sent and still no response came from him. We later find out that the General along with his wife and only daughter had been killed during the war in a bomb blast that hit their home.
After further investigation it was also discovered that Gen. Abbas Radhi Ismail did not declare any next of kin in his official papers including the paper work of his bank deposit. And he also confided in me the last time he was at my office that no one except me knew of his deposit in my bank. So, Twenty Four million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars is still lying in my bank and no one will ever come forward to claim it. What bothers me most is that according to the laws of my country at the expiration of 5 years the funds will revert to the ownership of the Hong Kong Government if nobody applies to claim the funds.
Against this backdrop, my suggestion to you is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to Gen. Abbas Radhi Ismail so that you will be able to receive his funds.
MODALITIES:
I want you to know that I have had everything planned out so that we shall come out successful. I have an attorney that will prepare the necessary document that will back you up as the next of kin to Gen. Abbas Radhi Ismail, all that is required from you at this stage is for you to provide me with your Full Names and Address so that the attorney can commence his job. After you have been made the next of kin, the attorney will also file in for claims on your behalf and secure the necessary approval and letter of probate in your favor for the move of the funds to an account that will be provided by you.
There is no risk involved at all in this matter, as we are going adopt a legalized method and the attorney will prepare all the necessary documents. Please endeavor to observe utmost discretion in all matters concerning this issue.
Once the funds have been transferred to a nominated bank account we shall then share in the ratio of 70% for me, 30% for you. Should you be interested please send me the following:
1. Full names
2. Private phone/fax
3. Current residential address
and I will prefer you reach me on my private email address below and finally after that I shall provide you with more details of this operation.

Thank you so much for your prompt response to my proposal.
However, Your interest to assist me was rather unspecific
as a result of which I am quite skeptical in believing that
you could be of assistance to me, therefore I would like to
be sure of your willingness, trustworthiness and committment
to execute this transaction with me,I cannot afford to
compromise these virtues considering the money involved,it
is necessary for me to be sure of the person to whom I will
be entrusting this transaction,my trust is not given out lightly.
What I expect from you is trust and commitment,I want this large
sum of money transfered with your assistance and you should have
nothing to worry about regarding legality AT ALL.
I want to know if you are willing to follow up this business
seriously before I can give you more details about this transaction,
however I shall be waiting for your response and assurance.
Sincerely,
Patrick Chan.

It appears as though these emails have been sent out to people all over the world.
I just replied with a request for proof and assurance that it is not a scam.
Just received this and it’s looking real promising that it’s not a scam:
Subject: I AWAIT YOUR UPDATE
From: “Patrick Chan”
To: troy_ruddock3@yahoo.com
An attachment of the certificate of deposit. (The only thing about it is that it’s in English.)
Dear Troy,
Thank you for your response, just to prove my integrity; I have attached to this mail a copy of the certificate of deposit that was issued to the late General on the day he deposited the funds in my bank. I will at this very point want you to confirm your seriousness and willingness to follow up with this project.i used an Austrailian account because i do not want my bank or anynobody to know were the mail was sent from.i know alot of scam is going on but i just have that feeling that you are the kind of person i need for the project.
Regards,
Patrick Chan.
Received one from a Patrick Chan today as well. Basically the same asking me to reply without asking for account numbers and things. Tried to “appeal to my better nature” by saying he is “putting his family and all his belongings on the line”. Makes absolutely no sense. I’ve noticed that the emails are getting shorter and shorter. I don’t know if anyone would actually fall for this, but I guess it’s possible if you’re really strapped for cash.
Be well,
Alley.

Dear Friend,
Greetings to you,
May I be granted the opportunity to introduce myself again; I am Mr. Patrick Chan, the Executive Director and Chief Financial Officer, of the foreign operations department of Hang Seng Bank ltd, Taikoo Shing Branch. I have an obscured business proposal for you with details stated below.
Before the U.S and Iraqi war our client Salman Jaber who was with the Iraqi Military forces, and also a business man made a numbered fixed deposit for 3 years in my branch, with a value of Eighteen Million Euros (€18,000,000) only. Upon maturity several notices were sent to him, during the Iraq war. Again after the war another notification was sent and still no response came from him. It came to my notice that the man (Salman Jaber) and his entire family had been murdered during the war in a bomb blast. You can read more about the bombings on visiting this site below:
http://civilians.info/iraq/deaths_frameset.html
Right now in my bank under an alias which only the two of us knew about as the confidentiality of the matter was necessary for his protection. Due to his untimely death, the funds have been sitting in the account ever since and will continue to do so perpetually unless we do something about it.
This is where you come in. I located you through an agency that helps seek people by their email. My client did not declare any next of kin in his official papers including the paper work of his bank deposit of the funds. Against this backdrop, my suggestion to you is that I would like you as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to our client so that you will be able to receive these funds. I want you to know that I have everything planned out so that we can come out successfully. I have been in contact with an attorney that will prepare the necessary documents that will back you up as the next of kin to my client. All that is required from you at this stage is willingness and commitment to this transaction. You are to provide to me with your Full Name and Address so that the attorney can commence his job. Also I would appreciate you send to me attached a valid form of Identification (Driver’s License or an International Passport).
After you have been made the next of kin, the attorney will also file in for claims on your behalf and secure the necessary approval and letter of probate in your favor for the movement of the funds. The funds will be transferred into an account which you are to provide. I will advise necessary steps in getting the account opened. There is no risk involved in this as we are going to adopt a legalized method and the attorney will prepare all the necessary documents. Once approved, the entire transaction should take no longer than twelve business days after which we will go about our daily businesses, plus millions of Euros richer.
As you can see this is easier than taking a candy from a baby, but mind you, trust is something that is developed over time and that is something that we do not have. The transfer can only be authorized into your account by my department of which I happen to be the head. The money will be transferred from my bank to an account which I will advise you to provide. You only, will be able to make transfer of the money in and out of the account. So please, there should be no room for greed. The allocation of our money will be as follows: 35% to you for your part in this and 65% for me. I think this is extremely fair, as you have nothing to lose. I will assume all responsibilities for this endeavor.
Your urgent response is needed. This should be kept very secret and confidential. I believe you know.

At the beginning I was glad to believe that could be and opportunity for me, but after checking the information on your web page to be a scam, I wonder if I have to be afraid of that man or not, as if he is real and untouchable, I might be in danger for revealing this information and not trusting him. I am positive and I hope this type of offers finish in short time. Thanks.
I keep receiving different e-mails like those above. It’s all tooooooooooooooo good to be true. The greed in most humans makes them fall into the endless money sucking web of those scammers. People should know that the sky dose not rains gold and luck does not fall in your lap, luck is what you do in and with your life.
Every time I receive a letter I check the message hidden information and trace the IP address and the report it to the Interpol in my country. I hope that everyone who receives such a letter do the same. Just open the e-mail and chek the e-mail options, print it and pass it through to the police in your city.
