Ah the good old "Hang Seng Bank" has written to me again.

I have lost track of how many times I have received messages from people purporting to work for them, offering me access to an unclaimed account.

Were these mails to be true, the bank would be positively awash with unclaimed accounts.

Thanks for taking your time to read this e-mail.

My name is Mr. Song Li le I work with the Hang Seng Bank. Although you might be apprehensive about my email as we have not met before,There is the sum of $19,500,000.00 in my bank"Hang Seng Bank", Hong kong.

There were no beneficiaries stated concerning these funds which means no one would ever come forward to claim it.

That is why I ask that we work together so as to have the sum transferred out of my bank into your account. Should you be interested please send me your:-

1. Full names,
2. private phone number,
3. current residential address,
4. occupation

Regards,

Mr. Song Li

This particular scam from the "Uk National Lottery Organization" is particularly dismal.

1 Why are the two email addresses based in Japan and Spain?

2 Why is the winning amount in dollars, not sterling?

3 UK is spelt with a capital "K", not lower case "k"

4 "Organisation" is spelt with an "s", not a "z"

Complete crap from start to finish.

An unusually short scam email.

However, it goes the same way as all the other scams; namely in the bin!

Dear Friend, I am Mr Andy Tombi the Former credit manager of SNS Bank in the Netherlands now based in united kingdom. I have a proposal to discuss about a certain bonded account in SNS bank, Please contact me through my email below if you are interested to know. It will be beneficial to all parties concerned. Regards, Mr Andy Tombi Tel:+ 44-701-115-0818 Email: mrtombandy1001@yahoo.it

The fact that this scam email starts off by talking about a "concealed business suggestion" should alert even the most naive recipient to the fact that this is a scam.

The scammer, for good measure, then offers me a deal involving unclaimed funds allegedly belonging to a dead Iraqi general.

A scam if ever there was one!

Mr. Patrick Chan.
Email: (patriwcchan1954@yahoo.com.hk)

Good Day

I am Mr. Patrick Chan, Executive Director and C.F.O of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd. I have a concealed business suggestion for you. Gen. Samir Abi Rahman who was with the Iraqi forces and also businessman made a fixed deposit for 18 calendar months, with a value of USD$24.5 Million only in my branch.

Several maturities notices was sent to him, before the war which began in 2003. also after the war another notification was sent and no response came from him. We later found 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 more inquiry it was also discovered that this General did not declare any next of kin in his official papers.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. What bothers me most is that according to the laws of my country at the expiration of 6years the funds will revert to the ownership of the Hong Kong Government if nobody applies to claim the funds.

I want you to know that I have everything planned out so that we shall come out successful. 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. Should you be interested send me the following;Full names, private phone number, current residential address and I prefer you reach me on my private email address below after which I shall provide you with more details on this operation.

Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated.

Kind Regards,

Mr. Patrick Chan.

The improbably named "garvn wallace" sent me this missive today.

I can't but help think that he meant to call himself "Garvin".

Hello you have won 915,810.00 great british pounds. contact Mr. garvn wallace on infocashout@strompost.com for more information on how you want the prize sent to you.

I am afraid that this scammer kind of shoots himself in the foot in his first sentence "this letter is not a hoax".

It is!

THIS IS FOR YOUR ATTENTION.

We wish to inform you that this letter is not a hoax mail. we wish to notify you AGAIN, that you were listed as a beneficiary to the total sum of £3,600,000.00GBP (Three Million Six Hundred Thousand British Pounds) in the codicil and last testament of the deceased. (Name now withheld since this is our second letter to you). We contacted you because you bear the surname identity and therefore can present you as the beneficiary to the inheritance.
