ok guys
i got a mail today:
MR. Qin Wang
HANG SENG BANK LTD,
DES VOEUX RD.BRANCH
CENTRAL HONG KONG
HONG KONG.
I am Mr. Qin Wang, credit officer of Hang Seng Bank Ltd; I have an urgent
and very confidential business proposition for you.
I honestly apologize and hope I do not cause you much embarrassment by
contacting you through this means for a transaction of this magnitude, but
this is due to confidentiality and prompt access reposed on this medium,
sorry my English is not very good. Furthermore, due to this issue on my
hands now, it became necessary for me to seek your assistance, and it is
imperative for me to know your opinion.
On September 6,2000, a Saudi Oil consultant/contractor with the Chinese
Petroleum and Chemical Corporation Mr. Waliladi Maudi made a numbered time
(Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at US$12,500,000.00
(Twelve Million-Five Hundred Thousand Dollars) 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 Petroleum and Chemical Corporation that
Mr. Waliladi Maudi died from an automobile accident. On further investigation,
I found out that he died without making a WILL and all attempts to trace
his next of kin were fruitless.
I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr. Waliladi Maudi
did not declare any kin or relations in all his official documents,
including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum of
US$12,500,000.00 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 of maturity, 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. Waliladi Maudi so that the fruits of this old
man's labour 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.
We shall employ the services of an attorney for drafting and notarization
of the WILL and to obtain the necessary documents and letter of
probate /administration in your favour for the transfer. 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. If you are really interested
in doing this business with me please reply immediately to this email
address, qinprivate@netscape.net.
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.
Awaiting your urgent reply.
Thanks and regards.
Mr. Qin Wang.
NOTE: Please reply to my mail email address, qinprivate@netscape.net.

i posted something about this in general. It might interest you.

Can I ask how people lose money without giving it?

Surely those people didn't start paying for the 5% expenses!?

sadly some do. again in my topic in general, some guy working for a bank of all places gave access to the banks funds.

here is some links

Just incase anyone does decide to bait, read this warning 1st - from the same site:
IT CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS!

I would advise anyone considering "cash baiting" to think again. Not only is it extremely dangerous for inexperienced scambaiters to try, but legally you are also skating on very thin ice. Whilst morally you may think you are giving the scammers exactly what they deserve, technically you are still obtaining money by false pretences, and whilst you may just get a slap on the wrist from law enforcement officials, the greater danger is from the scammers themselves.

It is stressed on this site a lot, but again, PLEASE remember that these people have been known to beat, torture, and in some cases even murder their victims. Although most of the scammers you may read about here seem to be bumbling fools, you certainly would not want to meet up with them in person. You may feel you are safe baiting a scammer many thousands of miles away from you in another country, but remember, even though they themselves may not be prepared to go to the time and expense of flying across continents to come and deal with you, they may well have relatives or contacts living much closer to home!

I implore newcomers to scambaiting to never lose sight of the main goal; to waste the scammer's time as much as possible, to mess with their minds, to make them jump through hoops. Of all my most favourite scambaits, not a single one of them involved extracting cash - or even a trophy picture - from the scammer. It is much more satisfying to drive a scammer mentally insane over a period of weeks or months than it is to spend a week or so convincing them to send you a bit of cash. None of my own cash only baits are remotely near any of my favourite baits in terms of overall satisfaction.

Cheers,

TSC.

A very good warning. Remember that children.

If you don't heed the warning, you might not like what could happen.

Don't make me pull out the syringe with an 8-gauge needle [the smaller the gauge, the bigger the needle - 13 being the high one].

Good advice. I personally would never mess with them - just wouldn't risk it.  ::)
Okay - call me chicken!

Yeah, you can call me a chicken aswell......

..... I can't run very fast, I can't fly for s**t & I sure as h3ll can get my a$$ kicked around a farmyard by an ill meaning gang of blokes!!!



TSC.

wouldn't waste my time going into that much anyway. Surely there must be better things to do with your time?
Its fun for a short time, but if it starts getting serious its a persons own fault.

 I just delete them as soon as they show up in my mailbox, just like any other junk.

On my home email we get loadsa spam. My Dad put a spam filter on that throws everything not in the adress book into it. Every now and again it has to be checked for any serious first time emailers. Usually though I know when I am going to get one and so check the spam box.
