419 Type Scam

[mrt273nva]

I just got this email and thought I'd post it here to warn people that some ass hole is trying to scam people by using the victims of the tsunami. I'll leave his email in tact so that everyone can flood his inbox with disapproval of his disgusting attempt to cash in on the ones that lost their lives in the disaster.

Greetings!

It is understandable that you might be a little bit apprehensive because

you do not know me, Please forgive this unusual manner to contact you, but

this particular letter/email is of exceptional and very private nature, as

by virtue of my vantage position in Bank of China Hong Kong i have a

lucrative business proposal of mutual interest to share with you. There is

no way for me to know whether I will be properly understood, but it is my

duty to write and reach out to you, TRUSTING that you will give this

proposal a positive consideration.

I am Mr. LEE Raymond Wing Hung I am 58years old and happily married with

grown-up children, and i am a Director of Bank of China Hong Kong in

charge of the International Remittance department. I will need you to

assist me in executing a business project from our bank worth US$30.5

Million. These funds were deposited with our bank by a customer of our

bank who is a national {citizen} of your country, who unfortunately died

in the December 2004 Asia Tsunami disaster.

The deceased account has been declared dormant since 2006 and these funds

will be confiscated/declared unserviceable and turned over to the Hong

Kong government if the deceased business associates or next-of-kin did not

claim this money; since all efforts to trace any living relative of the

deceased proved abortive, i have decided that i will have you claim this

money as the deceased business associate/or next-of-kin, since you are

from the same country and perhaps have some similarities in certain areas.

Everything concerning this transaction shall be LEGALLY done without

hitch, as i was the deceased account Officer and all the relevant

documents of this deposit were kept under my care.

Please endeavor to observe utmost discretion in all matters concerning

this issue, as i hope that you are a sincere, honest and matured person

and above all TRUSTWORTHY. Once the funds have been successfully

transferred into your account, we shall share it in a ratio of 30% for

you, 65% for me and my associates in the bank and the reminder 5% to take

care of contingencies.

I will prefer you reach me on my private email address below :{

[email protected]) and finally after that I shall furnish you

with more information about this operation. I am counting on your

anticipated co-operation for a successful and hitch free business

transaction between us, that will be mutually beneficial, for a start

1. Your Full name{s}:-

2.Current contact address:-

3. Your present Occupation: -

this venture. Although nothing ventured is nothing gained, as it is said,

the taste of the pudding is in the eating, do give this proposal SERIOUS

AND POSITIVE CONSIDERATION.

This was my email to the bastard.

Sorry, but I can not in good conscious exploit the victims of the devastating tsunami. My recommendation to you would be to use the proper channels of reallocating the money to proper charities rather than to to profit from it. You sir are the scum of the earth and such despicable acts are not TRUSTWORTHY.

Now that would be the email to you if you were telling me the truth as to who you are. In reality you are most likely Nigerian and are trying to "chop my dollar". So fuc_k off and get a real job instead of trying to be a societal parasite. It is people like you who prey on the ignorant and the elderly who make me sad for humanity. It is people like you who make trusting strangers impossible. I wish that you were the one drowning in the waters during the tsunami. You will have your day, I am sure of that much.
