Hi there!
Am a new member here. It so happened that I've an e-mail several days ago. It informed me that I won $1.5M thru an International Lottery in UK. I was amazed then and so I reply to verify If really I won such prize. An e-mail responded to me confirming my winnings and gave some details on how to claim such amount. They also gave me the contact details of a certain forwarding company supposedly will handle the shipment. So I did. I contacted the company thru e-mail. I asked them regarding shipping modalities and charges. They replied to me and gave me some payment options and advised me to remit the payment immediately to a certain person(not the company)thru Western Union so that they can expidite the delivery of my winnings to me. Accordingly, my cheque is ready and thy're just waiting for my payment. At that moment, I became doubtful. What I did was to look over thru the internet the Forwarding Company they're referring to. I found out that there was no such shipment ready for me. Also, they don't require individual to pay in advance. Below is the reply they made to me.

Hello again.
Before that 419 Nigerian type scam, I already encountered a modus operandi. Somebody had e-mailed that I was chosen among thousand e-mail addressee to act as a relative of a deceased bank client who deposited Million USD amount in a certain Hong Kong Bank. The one they referred to was an Iraqi official died during US led attack on Iraq including his immediate family member. That person accordingly did not declared any relatives in his bank documents. If nobody would claim as relative of that client, the whole amount of that said account would go the Government of Hong Kong. He introduced himself to me as certain Patrick Chan holding the position of an Executive Director and Chief Financial Officer......Below is the e-mail he sent to me: MR. PATRICK K.W. CHAN HANG SENG BANK LTD. 83, Des Voeux Road., Central HK, Hong Kong. Good Day, Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr. Patrick K.W. Chan (Executive Director and Chief Financial Officer) of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd. I have an obscured business suggestion for you. Before the U.S and Iraqi war our client Gen. Aadel Akgaal Bastaan who was with the Iraqi forces and also businessman made a numbered fixed deposit for 18 calendar months, with a value of (Twenty Four million Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars only) in my branch. Upon maturity several notices was sent to him, even during the war which began in 2003. Again after the war another notification was sent and still no response came from him. We later find out that the General along with his wife and only daughter had been killed during the war in a bomb blast that hit their home. You can read more about the bombings on visiting this site below: U.S. Bombing Watch: When was the last time the U.S. Bombed Iraq? . After further investigation it was also discovered that Gen. Aadel Akgaal Bastaan 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 most is that according to the laws of my country at the expiration of 5 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 Gen. Aadel Akgaal Bastaan so that you will be able to receive his funds. MODALITIES: I want you to know that I have had everything planned out so that we shall come out successful. I have an attorney that will prepare the necessary document that will back you up as the next of kin to Gen. Aadel Akgaal Bastaan, all that is required from you at this stage is for you to provide me with your Full Names and Address so that the attorney can commence his job. After you have been made the next of kin, the attorney will also fill in for claims on your behalf and secure the necessary approval and letter of probate in your favor for the move of the funds to an account that will be provided by you. There is no risk involved at all in this matter, as we are going adopt a legalized method and the attorney will prepare all the necessary documents. 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 then share in the ratio of 70% for me, 30% for you. Should you be interested please send me your the following: 1. Full names 2. Private phone/fax 2. Current residential address and I will prefer you reach me on my private email address below and finally after that I shall provide you with more details of this operation. Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated. Kind Regards Mr. Patrick Chan. E-mail: patrick_kw.chan@yahoo.com.hk |

Here is what happened next....(the exchange of e-mails we made)
Dear Joel, Thank you so much for your response to my proposal. I have attached to this mail, a copy of my international passport as my identity just to prove my integrity. However, Your interest to assist me was rather unspecific as a result of which I am quite skeptical in believing that you could be of assistance to me, therefore I would like to be sure of your willingness, trustworthiness and committment to execute this transaction with me,I cannot afford to compromise these virtues considering the money involved,it is necessary for me to be sure of the person to whom I will be entrusting this transaction,my trust is not given out lightly. What I expect from you is trust and commitment,I want this large sum of money transfered with your assistance and you should have nothing to worry about regarding legality AT ALL. I want to know if you are willing to follow up this business seriously before I can give you more details about this transaction, however I shall be waiting for your response and assurance. Sincerely, Patrick Chan. _______________________________________ YM - 離線訊息 就算你沒有上網,你的朋友仍可以留下訊息給你,當你上網時就能立即看到,任何說話都冇走失。 Yahoo!

I know we have not met before,but I am very confident that we will be able to establish the necessary trust that we need to execute this project. I am now in contact with a foreign online bank, I now intend that you open an account in your name in this foreign bank.The money would be transfered to that account which you will open in the bank for both of us, this is the best way,I have found,it will protect us from my bank. I want us to enjoy this money in peace when we conclude. So you should listen to my instructions and follow them religiously. Also You have to know that I cannot transfer this money in my name as my bank will be aware that it is from me. This is where I need you Joel. As a result of this,you will have to open an account in the corresponding bank and that is your only financial obligation. After this,the money will be banked online for both of us, no other person will be involved in this transaction,We can then instruct the bank to transfer our various shares into our respective home bank accounts. I will also perfect the documentations with the assistance of my attorney to give the transaction the legal right,and I have attached to this mail, copies of some legal documents which you are to complete and sign, then scan and send as attachment to E-mail back to me immediately or via my private fax number bellow: 852-301-02381, in other to grant the attorney the legal power to prepare the required legal documents naming you as the sole benefitiary of the funds and also process your claims.

Regards, Patrick Chan. _______________________________________ YM - 離線訊息 就算你沒有上網,你的朋友仍可以留下訊息給你,當你上網時就能立即看到,任何說話都冇走失。 Yahoo! Messenger 語音加強版 --------------------------------------- Dear Partner, Thank you for your response to my request. I received the documents along with your passport and I appreciate your total interest in this transaction. Considering the money involved, it was necessary for me to be sure of the person to whom I will be entrusting this transaction and you are the exact kind I will really love to see me through this, my trust is not given out lightly. I have included to this mail my work I.D. for your trust. What I expect from you is trust and total commitment; I want this large sum of money transferred with your assistance. Furthermore, with regards to the legality of this transaction, I must let you know that this transaction is risk free, it shall be done in accordance with banking Laws and regulations, My Attorney is handling the entire documentations, he is responsible for drafting and notarization of the Affidavits which shall put you in place as next of kin. He is handling all matters of probate on your behalf, hence you would not have to be here physically, and you will not be required to be in Court. As a matter of fact I am taking care of the cost of running all the logistics involved on my side of this transaction, such as the cost of retaining the services of the Attorney and obtaining the necessary official documents from the Hong Kong authorities, including the drug clearance certificate and other miscellaneous expenses which I am incurring to ensure a hitch free transfer, certain beaks have to be watered in a transaction like this. Like I said in my email, 5% of the total sum mapped aside shall be used to settle all expenses incurred from both parties during this transaction as a form of reimbursement. As a result of this you are advised to keep records of any expenses you incur no matter the amount, I am keeping records of my expenses too, we will deduct it from the 5% during the overall calculation. I am taking care of the expenses on my side but it is necessary for me to let you know that you will be required to take care the cost of opening the account and make sure it is fully operational and ready to receive our funds when the transfer of our funds is effected. The reason I am telling you this is because if we transfer the money from here to the account when it is not active the transfer will bounce back hence the money will return to its source which is my bank, I do not want such complications AT ALL. I am sending you the website of the bank so you can browse it and make enquiries on offshore/on-line account opening. I advise you like I said earlier that you open an account via online With the bank so that once the funds are released, they will be moved Straight into that account and the transfer will not attract the Monetary bodies, as the transfer will be seen as an in-house transaction because the bank telex type and banking procedures coordinates with Hang Seng Bank. After that, We can then transfer the funds into our private home accounts bits by bits. Please find below the bank's Contacts: CLYDESDALE BANK (U.K) 44, North Stifford RM16 5UE, Dartford, UK Tel: +44-701-112-1068 Fax: +44-871-251-7803 www.clydesdaleb-online.co.uk Please apply online and get back to me immediately. Sincerely, Patrick Chan. _______________________________________ YM - 離線訊息 就算你沒有上網,你的朋友仍可以留下訊息給你,當你上網時就能立即看到,任何說話都冇走失。 Yahoo! Messenger 語音加強版 ------------------------------------------ Dear Partner, Thank you for your effort so far in trying to make this business a success, I really would have loved to assist you but at present, am very low in cash as I have put in thousands of dollars to get this transaction to its present stage. You might not be aware of what it takes to have such an amount transferred, especially being inherited funds, well let me make it clear to you that I have taken care of the cost of all the logistics that has to do with this transfer, such as the cost of retaining the services of the Attorney and obtaining the necessary official documents and clearances from the Hong Kong authorities, including other miscellaneous expenses which I have incurred to ensure we have a hitch free transfer, I do not intend to take any phase of this transaction for granted. The reason why we need to use the UK bank is because it has the same telex code with Hang Seng bank, so when we transfer, it will not attract the international monetary body because it will be seen as an in-house transaction, I want us to enjoy these funds in peace. Actually for a person of your age and status and my partner in this transaction, I expect you to handle this issue of processing your account, I want the account processed between today and Monday next week, so that I can go ahead with the transfer latest Tuesday morning (Hong Kong time). Please do everything humanly possible to get your account ready to receive our funds, even if it means you getting a loan of 100% interest, please take it as long as we will pay back immediately the funds credits the account. This funds means the world to me and my entire family , as our whole life depends on it. Regards, Patrick Chan. ------------------------------- This is the last part... Dear Partner, Let me know how much you can be able to raise and I will see what I can do to add to it for the activation of your account. I await your reply. Patrick Chan. <guzvill71@yahoo.com> 說: Dear Patrick, Good Day! Over this weekend, I've tried my very best to acquire such amount for me to open an account to your nominated bank, but to no avail. I don't have the capacity to indulge in a loan of such big amount. I'm so disappointed nowadays thinking that I can't do the task that I suppose to do pertaining to the transaction. To get this thing going, I have got an idea of asking you for a financial assistance. If you agree, then this will be the fraction of the shares that we will be going to have; yours will become 80% and for me will go down to 20% plus, I will pay you back the set-up amount that may incurred in opening of the account at Clydesdale bank. I hope this will be favorable on your side. Have a nice day! Sincerely, Joel Note: This is the end of our communication. They never get back to me upon learning that I have nothing for them....
