    The Bank of East Asia Limited Hacienda Heights Branch17180 Colima Road,Hacienda Heights, CA 91745, USA Greetings Friend, You may wonder why I am reaching out to you in spite of friends that I have known for years, the singular reason is that I have by the very nature of this proposition and the required confidentiality decided to deal with a person that I have not known before so that we can develop the trust and execute this transaction without a third person knowing. I would not have used this medium (Internet) but I chose to reach you through it because it is the fastest, surest and most secured medium of communication. However, this correspondence is un-official and private, and it should be treated as such. I also guarantee you that this transaction is hitch free from all what you may think of. I am Mr. Bob Chen of The Bank of East Asia Limited, Hacienda Heights Branch, California USA) I am contacting you based on Trust and confidentiality that will be attached to this transaction. The Management and the Legal department of our bank (THE BANK OF EAST ASIA LIMITED) in a recent meeting recommended that the account of MR. JAMES D.CLEERE, who was one of my branch depositors, should be declared Dormant, confiscated and the depositor's fund sent to the Bank Treasury according to American Banking and financial law. He died in world trade center as a victim of the September 11,2001 incident that befall the United States of America. The bank has made series of efforts to contact any of the relatives to claim this money but without success, you can confirm through this site: http://www.september11victims.com/se...ctims_list.htm ORhttp://www.september11victims.com/september11Victims/VictimInfo.asp?ID=744 MR. JAMES D.CLEERE is an account holder in my branch; he owns a dollar account with the sum of US$58.2M (Fifty Eight Million, two Hundred Thousand United States Dollars Only) deposited in a Secret account with my branch. In fact, since his death, no next of kin of the account holder (the brother) nor any relative of him has shown up for the claim this is because he has the account as a secret account thus he left all the documents for the deposit with me. This is where I am interested and where I want you to come in. I want you to come in as the relation of the deceased; I will give you the relevant documents and contacts to file the application and then effect the approvals for the transfer of the money, I will be the one to provide the vital documents for the claims of the money and then advise you exactly how we should handle it. Please include your telephone/fax number/ Home address when replying this mail and I will give you more information as soon as you indicate your willingness to assist in this transaction. We will use our positions to get all internal documentations to back up the claims. Do not be bothered that you are not related in any way to him as I am in position to affix your name as the next of kin. The whole Procedures will last only 7 working days to get the fund retrieved successfully without trace even in future. After the transfer of the money we shall share the money 60-40, that is I will have 60% while you will have 40%. Kindly respond promptly so that I can advice you on the next step to follow. I will be waiting to hear from you. Yours truly,Bob ChenThe Bank of East Asia Limited

    Ha but you are a lucky man anyway Stewart

    I got a letter a few weeks ago from the 'European Lottery' saying, that I was one of six people who had a share in something like €40 +m, and all I had to do was supply my name, address, telephone no, mobile no, bank account and sort code detail, and I think from memory my passport number. I wonder how many people were taken in by this attempt at identity theft?

    Ok the point here is its a pile of *******s and all I want to do is get the guy to go on you tube , wearing a bright green hat and holding a carrot and wearing a tee shirt saying plonker... too prove his identity

    However I did know someone lose £17,000 to a Nigerian syndicate and I would hardly call her gullible. She got the money back so dont know the full details (it was via e-bay)

    I guess the point is you dont give away money or private info

    Re: Would you trust this man ?

    Is there not anything that can be done with things like this.

    Danny is trying to sell his car (scarface) as he is getting a company one. Its advertised on autotrader. He keeps getting these emails from people all over the place, really weird ones saying they want the car and they have to get it shipped to them, please send all info so they can pay bankers draft immeidately and leave the rest to them.. Its unreal.

    I dont know what they can benefit from having that information though. Any ideas?

    They can steal your identity and then get access to your bank account, clear the said bank account, get credit using your name, make up false id's and passports.

    Important questions to consider

    1) would they clear all my debt ? I am more then happy to have bank accounts loans and credit cards all default to zero

    2) Would they send me pictures of places they get to see

    Even if its only one in a million, if they sent out 60 million e mails, they are going to have a nice little earner

    unfortunately its a lot easier to use the details of your banks than you would think
    about a year ago i noticed several debits made on an account that i only ever used for my mortgage over a period of a week
    Obviously i called the bank immediately and got my card canceled
    It turned out that the police feel that the people using my account had bought the information (including name address card number and the security number on the back of the card) from eastern Europeans working at a Clacton call center, although this was never proved as the bank did everything they could to stop the police investigation
    As the bank paid all the funds back into my account it turns out i am not the victim (even though it feels like i am) but the bank was therefore i couldn't push the police to do anything
