* Patrick Chan – Hang Seng Bank – Email Scam

This guy emails you claiming to be a credit officer from Hang Seng Bank in Hongkong. He has a proposal to put your name as next of kin for someone who died, so that you can claim a large amount of money. Don’t send your personal info. This is a typical scam. Below is a copy of the email:

Dear Partner,
I am Mr. Patrick Chan a Credit Officer of the Hang Seng Bank in Hong Kong. I have a business proposal for you. My client a Major, who was with the armed forces and also a Merchant in Middle east, made a fixed deposit for million of dollars for 18 months with my bank. Upon maturity several notices were sent to him. It was later discovered that he and his family were killed in the war leaving no heir/family member to these fund. According to the to the laws of my country at the expiration 3 years which has currently exceeded, the funds will revert to the ownership of the Hong Kong Government if nobody applies to claim the funds.

I have already succeeded in transferring the funds to an online bank and if you are interested, my proposal is to put you as next of kin and have the funds released to you from the online bank for a share in the ratio 50% each. All paper works would be put in place to ensure a legal transfer. However I shall be waiting your response and assurance that you can be of partnership with me in making the project a reality. Should you be interested in executing this proposal with me; please kindly reply me with your full name and current address and telephone number on my e-mail address below:

[email protected]

Finally after that I shall provide you with more details of this whole operation.

Sincerely,
Patrick Chan.

   I received a similar email.

   Mr. Peter Wong ,

   I am Mr. Peter Wong Executive Director of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd,HONG
   KONG. An Iraqi named Besem Faruak, a business man made a numbered fixed
   deposit of (126,336,8299.38 HK) for 18 calendar months, this is valued to
   Eight million United State Dollars only in my branch.

   Upon maturity several notice was sent to him, even during the war,four
   years ago (2005). Again after the war another notification was sent and
   still no response came from him. We later found out that Besem Faruak, 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 Besem Faruak,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 we was at my office that no one
   except me knew of his deposit in my bank. So, Eight million 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 five years six months the funds will revert to the ownership
   of the HONG KONG Government if nobody applies to claim the funds.

   My proposal, I am prepared to place you as the next of kin in a position
   to instruct HANG SENG BANK to release the deposit to you as the closest
   surviving relation. Upon receipt of the deposit, I am prepared to share the
   money with you in half. That is: I will simply nominate you
   as the next of kin and have them release the deposit to you. We share the
   percentage 50/50.

   I would have gone ahead to ask the funds be released to me, but that
   would have drawn a straight line in my involvement in claiming the
   deposite. I assure you that I could have the deposit released to you
   within a few days.

   I will simply inform the bank of the final closing of the file relating
   to Besem Faruak, I will then officially communicate with my Bank and
   instruct them to release the deposit to you. With these, all is done.

   I am aware of the consequences of this proposal.should be interested in
   executing this with me,indicate your interest by sending me the following:

   1. YOUR NAME
   2. YOUR RESIDENTADDRESS
   3. YOUR OCCUPATION
   4. YOUR PHONE NUMBER
   5. DATE OF BIRTH
   6. COUNTRY OF RESIDENT

   Your response with the requested information should be
   sent to reach me at my personal email address below:

   [email protected]

   I shall then provide you with more details on this
   operation when I hear from you.

   Sincerely,
   Mr.peter wong
