From: The Desk of
Miss. Kim Ho .
Managing Director,

RE: PAYMENT OF US$800,000.00 INTEREST INTO YOUR ACCOUNT:

I am Miss. Kim Ho , Managing Director, Corporate Services Division and Head of Swift Transfer Unit of Hong Kong And Shanghai Banking Corporation. Sometime ago, in our bank your inheritance fund was brought to our bank from National Lotto Group here in Asia and after some period, the money was taken back to their treasury. But for the period of time this money was in our bank, it generated an interest of US$800,000.00 which we are about to pay you Via International Certified Bank (ATM CARD ) through our bank in Bangkok Thailand Asia. Hong Kong And Shanghai Banking Corporation. (HSBC).Bank Plc.

For your information and advice, you need to hasten up to pick this Fund because from time to time the National Lotto Group auditors do come to our bank to cross-check our files and our financial update, the earlier you comply with the demands of the delivery of the (ATM CARD ), the faster the action, because when the auditors arrive and find out that this interest fund is still in our bank they will call back the accrued interest to the lotto treasury account.

What we need from you now is any form of your identification for example; Your International passport or your driver license, your telephone and fax numbers for easy communication to you with your mailing address where this (ATM CARD ) will be delivered.

As a matter of fact we don▓t have enough time to waste since we have wasted time in contacting you through phone, so try and comply with the entire necessary requirement for the transaction.

1. Hasten up, fella...plenty of time has already been wasted

I want to be Head of the Swift Transfer Unit of a major international bank when I grow up

[av8rdave]

2. Which ID would be best to send them?

My passport or driver's license? I'm thinking the originals of both, just to be sure the money gets transferred.

[MrCoffee]

3. That is a really really good idea

I never would have thought to send the originals, but that should ensure prompt delivery. Maybe you should be Head of the Swift Transfers Unit.

4. Both, and include your SS card and birth certificate. No use taking chances.

5. You lucky bastid.

6. Is that contact the Asian equivalent of "Mr. Italy Boyardee"? n/t

[ohiosmith]

7. On second thought, I have serious connections in Hong Kong. PM me either your debit card or credit

card number and I'll see that the transfer gets done asap. :hi:

8. I always love how these high-level representatives

need to use either yahoo, gmail, or AOL account emails, even they give you a website address ...

But hasten up! They don't have anymore time to waste on contacting you, since they wasted time contacting you before. What, don't you pick up your phone? Oh, no, wait, they ask you for the phone number, so what were they dialing?

What is really sad is that people still fall for it ...

9. I think you should go there and pick up your check in person.

10. That's a great idea!

There was a website years ago build by a guy who scammed one of the Nigerian bank scam people. He posted all of his exchanges with the scammer. He would give out just enough information to make the scammer think he was a live one.

Before it was all over, the scammer had purchased several airline tickets to meet with this guy, researched exotic birds in various African countries for him, etc., etc. the funniest part were the emails from the scammer once he realized he'd been had! He was outraged that someone would try to take advantage of him! Surely he was a Republican!

11. I've been tempted to do that.

Maybe I will some day.
