Fraud email example:
From: "SONG" <songlile@yahoo.com.hk>
Date: Mon, 26 Nov 2007 19:03:20 +0000
Subject: Hi.
DEAR FRIEND,
I am Mr Song Lile Executive Director of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd,Sai Wan Ho
Branch,171 Shaukiwan Road Hong Kong.
An Iraqi named Haider Hanoon,a business man made a numbered fixed deposit
of (139,513,102.50 HK) for 18 calendar months, this is valued Seveteen
million Eight Hundred and Sixty Thousand United States Dollars only in my
branch. Upon maturity several notice was sent to him, even during the war,
three years ago (2003). Again after the war another notification was sent
and still no response came from him. We later found out that Haider Hanoon
and his family had been killed during the war in Gunfire that hit their home
at Mukaradeeb where his personal oil well was.
After further investigation it was also discovered that Haider Hanoon 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, Seveteen
million Eight Hundred and Sixty Thousand United State Dollars is still lying
in my bank and no one will ever come forward to claim it. What bothers me is
that according to the laws of my country at the expiration five years six
months the funds will revert to the ownership of the Hong Kong Government if
nobody applies to claim the funds.
My proposal, I am prepared to place you as the next of kin in a position to
instruct HANG SENG BANK to release the deposit to you as the closest
surviving relation. Upon receipt of the deposit, I am prepared to share the
money with you in half. That is: I will simply nominate you as the next of
kin and have them release the deposit to you. We share the procentange
50/50. I would have gone ahead to ask the funds be released to me, but that
would have drawn a straight line in my involvement in claiming the deposit.I
assure you that I could have the deposit released to you within a few days.
I will simply inform the bank of the final closing of the file relating to
Haider Hanoon I will then officially communicate with my Bank and instruct
them to release the deposit to you. With these: all is done. I am aware of
the consequences of this proposal.
I ask that if you find no interest in this project that you should discard
this mail. I ask that you do not be vindictive and destructive. If my offer
is of no appeal to you,delete this message and forget I ever contacted you.
Do not destroy my career because you do not approve of my proposal. You may
not know this but people like myself who have made tidy sums out of
comparable situations run the whole private banking sector. I am not a
criminal and what I do, I do not find against good conscience, this may be
hard for you to understand, but the dynamics of my industry dictates that I
make this move. Such opportunities only come ones way once in a lifetime. I
cannot let this chance pass me by, for once I find myself in total control
of my destiny.
These chances wont pass me by. I ask that you do not destroy my chance, if
you will not work with me let me know and let me move on with my life but do
not destroy me. I am a family man and this is an opportunity to provide them
with new opportunities. There is a reward for this project and it is a task
well worth undertaking. I have evaluated the risks and the only risk I have
here is from you refusing to work with me and alerting my bank. I am the
only one who knows of this situation, good fortune has blessed you with a
name that has planted you into the center of relevance in my life. Lets
share the blessing.
If you give me positive signals, I will initiate this process towards a
conclusion. I wish to inform you that should you contact me via official
channels; I will deny knowing you and about this project. I repeat, I do not
want you contacting me through my official phone lines nor do I want you
contacting me through my official email account. Contact me only through the
numbers I will provide for you and also through the email account that i
will provide therein in this email.
Further more be informed that the fact that you are a foreigner give you
the privilege to stand in as my deceased client beneficiary as my deceased
client had no relation all his family died with him during the war and I can
not use my relation because its not accepted here in Hong Kong. Also I am
very confident that we will be able to establish the trust that is needed to
complete this deal and all that I need from the time been is your
willingness and commitment so that we can end this in the nest one weeks.
What you need to understand about this transaction is that I will make sure
that it passes through all international banking laws regards to this I will
take care of all the expenses and the cost of retaining the service of my
Attorney to give the transaction the proper documentation that is required
to perfect the finishing. Your only obligation in this transaction will be
to set up two offshore accounts that can accommodate these funds and I will
give you more light later once you agree to partner with me.
Like I said before there is no risk involve as it will pass through
international banking laws and all documents related to this transaction
will be sent to you by post for your perusal and trust.
I do not want any direct link between you and me. My official lines are not
secure lines as they are periodically monitored to assess our level of
customer care in line with our Total Quality Management Policy. Please
observe this instruction religiously. Please, again, note I am a family man,
I have wife and children. I send you this mail not without a measure of fear
as to what the consequences, but I know within me that nothing ventured is
nothing gained and that success and riches never come easy or on a platter
of gold. This is the one truth I have learned from my private banking
clients. Do not betray my confidence. If we can be of one accord, we should
plan a meeting, soon. Should you be interested I will prefer you to reach me
on the email address below.
