Shawn, We have tracked them to every part of the world from Sigapore to Amsterdam, Texas and California to name just a few. It saddens me to see that more and more US and Canadian locations are used. Attorney General Ashcroft says that people don't think internet crime is a serious as "in person" crime. We tracked a bunch to a Frat house in California. I wonder if they think they are just playing a video game and not really hurting anyone?

They are all over the place, though I've found in my experience the vast majority originate from Nigeria.

WING HANG BANK LTD
253-259 Castle Peak Road,
Cheung Sha Wan,
Kowloon,
Hong Kong.

I am Mr.Liu Jiankai, credit officer of Wing Hang Bank
Ltd. I have an urgent and very confidential business
proposition for you.

On August 6, 1999, a British consultant/contractor
with the Chinese Solid Minerals Corporation, Mr.
Philip Brian a British citizen made a numbered
time (Fixed)Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued
at
US$38,000,000.00 (Thirty-eight Million Dollars only)
in my branch. Upon maturity,I sent a routine
notification to his forwarding address but got no
reply.

After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we
discovered from his contract employers, the Hong
Kong Solid Minerals Corporation that Mr. Philip Brian
died from a boat mishap. On further investigation,I
found out that he died without making a WILL,
and all attempts totrace his next of kin was
fruitless.

I therefore made further investigation and
discovered that Mr. Philip Brian did not declare any
kin or relations in all his official documents,
including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my
Bank. This sum of US$38,000,000.00 is still sitting
in my Bank and the interest is being rolled
over with the principal sum at the end of each year.
No one will ever come forward to claim it.
According to Laws of Hong Kong, at the expiration of
5 (five) years, the money will revert to
the ownership of the Hong Kong Government if nobody
applies to claim the fund.

Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as
a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to Mr.
Philip Brian so that the fruits of this old
man's labor will not get into the hands of some
corrupt government officials.This is simple, I
will like you to provide immediately your full
names and address so that the attorney will
prepare the
necessary documents and affidavits that will put you
in place as the next of kin.

The money will be paid into your account for us to
share in the ratio of 65% for me and 30% for you and
5% for Expenses Incurred in the course of
the transaction . There is no risk at all as all the
paperwork for this transaction will be
done by the attorney and with my position as the
credit officer guarantees the successful
execution of this transaction.

Upon your response, I shall then provide you with
more details and relevant documents that will help
you understand the transaction.

Please send me your confidential telephone and fax
numbers for easy communication. You should observe
utmost
confidentiality, and rest assured that this
transaction would be most profitable for both of us
because I shall require your assistance to invest my
share in your country.
Hope to hear from you soon.

PERSONAL AND CONFIDENTIAL

Dear xxxx,

I am Barrister Don Kenny an advocate and Solicitor. I am the Personal Attorney to Mr. Fredrick Roland a foreigner, who used to work with European Development Company in Nigeria. On The 21st of April 2001,my client, his wife and their three children were involved in a car accident along Sagbama Express Road. All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives. Since then I have made several enquiries to his embassy to see if I can locate any of my clients extended relatives, this has all the while proved unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his relatives (i.e. same surname) over the Internet, to locate any member of his family but of no avail, hence I contacted you. I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money left behind by my client before it is confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where this huge deposit were lodged.

Particularly, the Bank where the deceased had an account valued at about 15.5 million dollars has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin to the deceased or have the account confiscated within the next twenty one official working days. Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 2 years nowI seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since youare still a foreigner, so that the proceeds of this account valued at $15.5million USD can be paid to you and then you and me can share the money, 60% to me and 35% to you, while 5% should be for expenses or tax as your government may require. I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any claim we may make.

All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us seeing this deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.

Best regards,
Barrister Don Kenny
Don Kenny Chamber (Attorney at law)
30 Randi Street, SW, Ikoyi,
Lagos-Nigeria.

PLEASE REPLY TO THIS EMAIL ADDRESS: donkenny_1@hotmail.com

Trust me, plenty of lads use Hotmail. You just don't get out enough.

If it is a free email service and they do not verify anything, and the security is lacking shall we say control they will use it in a heartbeat.

Hi Gang,

Clearly a slight variation on an old theme. I got the mail below last week.

I work for a security company here in Hong Kong and my office is very close to this legitimate branch of the Wing Hang Bank. I haven't had time to go there in person tho.

I have asked our friend Mr Yuen to call me so I can go and see him, or for him to come to my office a couple of times. Funny, he hasn't replied yet.

Bit of a waste of my time, but I do enjoy ....ing with these idiots.

I have kept a couple of these scam mails if you want me to forward to you...Full headers included (Nigerian Body references all OVER the place!!)

Cheers all and keep alert.

"Dear sir/madam,

I am Mr. Yuen Wai keung, the bill and exchange manager of a bank in HongKong and I am contacting you on a business transfer of a huge sum of money from a deceased account.

Though I know that a transaction of this magnitude will make any one apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring you that all will be well at the end of the day. We decided to contact you due to the urgency of this transaction.

PROPOSITION;

I discovered an abandoned sum of US$10,500,000.00 (Ten million five hundred thousand united states dollars) in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customers who died along with his entire family. Since his death, none of his next-of-kin or relations has come forward to lay claims for this money as the heir. We cannot release the fund from his account unless someone applies for claim as the next-of-kin to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines. Upon this discovery, I now seek your permission to have you stand as a next of kin to the deceased as all documentations will be carefully worked out by us for the funds (US$10,500,000.00) to be released in your favour as the beneficiary's next of kin. It may interest you to know that we have secured from the probate an order of mandamus to locate any of deceased beneficiaries.

Please acknowledge receipt of this message in acceptance of our mutual
business endeavour by furnishing me with the following;

1. Beneficiary name and address
2. Direct Telephone and fax numbers

These requirements will enable us file letter of claim to the appropriate departments for necessary approvals in your favour before the transfer can be made. I shall be compensating you with a One million five hundred thaousand dollars on final conclusion of this project, while the rest shall be for us. Your share stays while the rest shall be for us for investment purposes.

If this proposal is acceptable by you, do not take undue advantage of the trust I have bestowed in you.PLEASE REPLY TO: yuen44waikeung@i12.com
I await your response

Regards,
Mr.Yuen Wai keung
