Hang Seng Bank Ltd Letter Scam: Peter Wong

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.

419ers Sets Fake Cops on Ebayer
Nigerian Phisher tried to Scam me on Ebay
Man gets Caught up by Nigerian E-mail scammers Look at this:
http://server-wg.de:8080/nigeria/pui_cheng.html

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.

Another Amazing Opportunity from Peter Wong, Hang Seng Bank- SCAM

**I should Scam Bait this bastard**

I have a new email address!You can now email me at: peter.wong3@btinternet.com

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.

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 millions Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars only in my branch. Upon maturity several notice 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 3 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 fill 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 will be adopting 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 your nominated bank account we shall share in the ratio of 60% for me, 40% for you. Should you be interested please send me your full names, private phone/fax and current residential address, and finally after that I shall provide you with more details of this operation.

Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated.

Kind Regards

Mr.Peter Wong

ez1 rate scam

An email from an eLamb.org reader regarding a fraud agency knows as EZ-1 Rate:

” a company called EZ-1Rate STOLE $49.95 from my
checking account. I have no idea how they know my
information, but this wasn't authorized!!!! I won't be able
to talk to my bank until Monday morning. Is it a sure thing
to get my money back immediately, or is it possible that I

am just out of luck? Thanks.”

You didn't agree to the service nor did you receive any service so you are protected under Federal Regulation E provided you talk to your bank within 60 days of the offense. You should not have a problem getting your money back.

The bank should be willing and able to recover your money.
Once I told the bank what happend the first thing they did was try to
call EZ-1 Rate via a number on the check. When they were not in they
had me fill out a “Dispute form”. You will always the have the right
to dispute a charge on your account. Once the Dispute form was
complete it took me about 1-2 weeks to get my money reimbursed. They
gave me the money but warned if they came to the conclusion that I was
lying (after doing research on it) I would be liable for paying the
bank back plus a hefty fee.

These people (EZ-1 Rate) are so shady that they even had a
recording of my wife saying she wanted a service. My wife found this
out after calling them to tell them we did not order their service and
wanted our money back. Thats when we realized that they had taken her
recorded voice from another fraudulent agency known as American
Advantage Benifits (who claimed to be a government grant agency).
Advantage Benefits had successfully “socially engineered” us. But
after doing research (google) I told them I didn't want their service.
Little did I know, these people had recorded the entire session and
gave it to EZ-1 Rate.

I imagine they would have played the recording for the bank if
they'd called. But even if they played it, I would have still have
gotten my money back (from the bank) because I received no service at
all from EZ-1 Rate. If the bank were to point fingers at me I would
have showed them all the stuff on the Net about EZ-1 Rate: http://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial_s&hl=en&q=Ez+1+rate&btnG=Google+Search
