[SB076]

I received an email from the Commonwealth bank (with logos everything) stating I had a new secure mail message and that I need to log on to retrieve it, and it had a link to the website - I deleted it - they are getting smarter you need to be careful - never click on any links in emails even if you bank with that organisation.

[boss-290]

I can't beleive you had to get other opinions on this. It couldn't Be any more obvious that this is a scam.

[fpvluver]

[Bucknaked]

I received a letter today. First time ever I've received a scam in the post. $6,100,000 euro's waiting for me. Came from Portugal.

[chief]

Odd for them to use snail mail Bucky. They would have had to pay for that compared to a free email. Imagine international post fees, no wonder they made the reward more enticing for the gullible.

[kyro_02]

"Good Day,

Let me start by introducing myself.I am Mr.Marvin K.T Cheung Executive
Director and Chief Financial Officer of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd.
I have a Secured business suggestion for you.

Before the U.S and Iraqi war our client Col. Hosam Hassan who was with
the Iraqi forces and also business man made a numbered fixed deposit
for 18 calendar months,with a value of Thirty million United State
Dollars ($30,000,000.00) only in my branch. Upon maturity several
notices was sent to him, even during the war early this year. Again
after the war another notification was sent and still no response came
from him. We later find out that Col. Hosam Hassan along with his wife
and only daughter had been killed during the war in a bomb blast that
hit their home.What bothers me most is that according to the laws of
my country at the expiration 4 years the funds will revert to the
ownership of the Hong Kong Government if nobody applies to claim the
funds.

Against this backdrop, my suggestion to you is that I will like you as
a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to Col. Hosam Hassan so that
you will be able to receive his funds. Please endeavor to observe
utmost discretion in all matters concerning this issue.Once the funds
have been transferred to your nominated bank account we shall share in
the ratio of 60% for me,40% for you.

Should you be interested please send the information?s below,

1. Full names and Age..............
2. Private phone number...............
3. Current residential address...........

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

Email: m_ktcheunghk008@yahoo.com.hk

And finally after that I shall provide you with more details on this
transaction.

Your earliest response to this letter will be highly appreciated.

Kind Regards,
Mr.Marvin K.T Cheung."

Dont mind this scam. The only people it will get is honest people who have already been duped once, and honestly believe this is a fix up ( DER you deserve it if you get done again)

Or even better, dishonest people trying for a quick buck

And where did they ask you to send it?

[Bearman]

To an address in Canberra, citing a well known major thoroughfare and suburb where lots of Govt departments are located. In other words it sounded like a legit address!!

Not good!!

[cjf]

It amazes me the naivety of some people to honestly fall for these scams, when will they learn nothing comes free.!!
Ps. not directed at anyone just my view on these scams.
