RESPONSE TO YOUR EMAIL (CODE NO:AM-002)

A reader sent me this tale of tragic death in war, no relatives/next of kin and, surprise, millions of dollars!  The scammer even attached a fake identity card, to try to lend a touch of authenticity to his scam.  If Mr Ming Yang really was the “Director of operations of Hang Seng Bank Ltd” he would get the sack the instant he sent out this email.  He isn’t an employee of the bank – he’s just a scammer hoping you will be taken in by his story and start sending him money.  Ignore him

Dear Partner,

I am Mr. Ming Yang. Director of operations of Hang Seng Bank Ltd, Hong Kong.

An Iraqi named Mr. Sadeq Ja’afar Hussain, a business man made a numbered fixed deposit of Twenty Four million Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars only in my branch. Upon maturity several notice was sent to him, even during the war, Five years ago (2005). Again after the war another notification was sent and still no response came from him. We later found out that Sadeq Ja’afar Hussain and his family had been killed during the war in Gunfire that hit their home at Mukaradeeb where his personal oil-well was.

After further investigation it was also discovered that Sadeq Ja’afar Hussain did not declare any next of kin in his official papers including the paper work of his bank deposit. 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. So, Twenty Four million Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars is still lying in my bank and no one will ever come forward to claim it. What bothers me is that according to the laws of my country at the expiration seven years six months the funds will revert to the ownership of the Hong Kong Government if nobody applies to claim the funds.
