QUOTE
Good Day ,
I'm Song Li, I work with the Hang Seng Bank here in Hong Kong. Although the internet is a very hard place to meet people because you don't know who to trust, what to believe and what not to.
I have an obscured business suggestion for you. There is the sum of
19,500,000.00 Dollars in my bank "Hang Seng Bank" Hong kong. There were no beneficiaries stated concerning these funds which means no one would ever come forward to claim it. That is why I ask that we work together so as to have the sun transferred out of my bank into your account.
Please do not be offended with the manner I contacted you. It was
necessitated by the urgency and nature of this transaction. Should you be interested please send me your;
1. Full names
2. Private phone number
3. Current residential address

Your can reach me on my private email: slisong@yahoo.com.hk

Kind Regards,
Mr. Song Li.

They make me laugh. It is so obvious how fake it is.

Should I reply, for a bit of fun? $19.5mil would be nice. Just depends on the currency.

Hehe

I'm sure you posted this with a light humor in mind.

But for those who are actually compelled to participate in this scam, and other alike, please be aware that there's no such thing as "easy money" especially via email.

Numerous occasions have been reported through respected TV and newspaper journalism reporting people with losses up to tens and hundreds of thousand dollars. While some of us can distinguish scam and real thing, still there are few of those who cannot.

A rule of thumb: none of respectable organization(s), such as Microsoft or proxy lawyers, will ever contact something so sensitive or urgent over an email. Email can be intercepted. Email can be delivered to wrong inbox. Email is not a registered first class mail that is protected by a private company--like USPO. Therefore please use your best discretion when dealing with the above situation. smile.gif

Indeed. These scams run everywhere. I remember a friend telling me about a similar type of message sent over PM. Why the hell would they send it over PM? This is something that must be worked with carefully.

And no, no one will EVER give you that large amount of money for simply "corresponding"...

I remember another E-Mail I've received. It was presumably from Paypal, asking me to click on a link to reactivate my account, because they locked it because of some kind of credit card activity that was suspicous.

Note : I don't have a Paypal account.

Thus, I found it quite funny. Especially when I saw the From mail address in the headers were : noreply@paypaI.com. That I is so well placed. XD

OOooo I like how you posted up his email... I hope he enjoys the spam as bots looking for email addresses crawl up the site and distribute his email... It's most likely a temporary one unfortunately sad.gif

I get these all the time too, its best just to ignore them. It's hard to believe that people fall for these scam emails when it's so obvious that they're completely fake. I do feel sorry for anyone that might accidentally fall for it though because once somebody gets ahold of your details, like what would happen if someone were to fall for that spam email, their whole lives could become ruined. It's sad to think about it, but things like that happen every day.

    For the past 2 days i have been receiving mails (3 mails till now) from my known contacts having

    and password are entered, it passes it insecurely. i have also attached a screenshot of the site.
    Please look into it. More info: I believe the mail originated from prayagbin86@gmail.com. I have

    I went with gmail when the hype began. Nice inbox size, and it's brilliant if all you want is a

    compatibility. MSN is still the best instant messenger, IMO. Highly doubt I'll be using whatever
    gmail is gonna come up with. MSN has climbed so high above the other clients that I believe it
    won't go down without a fight Anyhoo, what does everyone else use? Hotmail? Yahoo? Gmail? ISP

    rudely eliminate PayPal with no warning, in order to cash in on Stormpay's 6-level-deep
    affiliate program. In other words, it has morals. 2. People at the forum are helpful and quick to
    respond. 3. The minimum level for payout is extremely low - $0.02 and you can reach this with
    four or five clicks (but move fast - the links get clicked quickly). 4. Convenience - holds
