419 Scam: $30 million in Shanghai Bank of China

<![CDATA[
]]>

So, “an idiot” left $30million in Bank of China (Shanghai) in 2002 and after 7 years, he could not be contacted. So another idiot in the “Bank” contacted YOU (oh we are always so lucky!) to help transfer out this sum of money.

The deal is great, its a 50% split. You believe in this crap? Get ready to be ripped off!

Thousands of “rich men” have “died” or gone “missing” since 419 scam was borned. And millions have lost their money to such scams.

Always watch the news for the truth – we only hear scammed victims. NEVER once are such stories real.

Don’t even think about it.

  Subject: Proposal

Compliment Of The Day!

Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr. Hong Wu operations
manager of the Bank of China (Shanghai Branch), 200 Mid.
Yincheng Rd., Pudong New District, Shanghai 200121, China. I
have an obscured Business suggestion for you.

In June, 2002, a certain British Crude oil merchant (Mr.Martin
Walker) came to our bank and made a Fixed (Numbered) deposit of
Thirty Million United State Dollars (US$30,000,000.00) Only in
my branch for 12 calender months. Upon maturity, I sent a
routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply.
A month later, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from
his contract employers, the Chinese Solid Minerals Corporation
that he died from an automobile accident. On further
investigation, I found out that he died without making a WILL,
and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless.

After proper further investigations, it was also discovered that
he 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 in my office that no one
except me knew of his deposit in my bank. So, Thirty Million
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 Laws of Republic of China, at the expiration of
seven {7} years the funds will revert to the ownership of the
Chinese Government if nobody applies to claim the funds. What I
wish to relate to you will smack of unethical practice but I
want you to understand something, It is only an outsider to the
banking world who finds the internal politics of the banking
world aberrational. The world of private banking especially is
fraught with huge rewards for those who occupy certain offices
and oversee certain portfolios. You should have begun by now to
put together the general direction of what I am proposing.

Against this backdrop, my suggestion to you is that I will like
you as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin so that you will
be able to receive the funds so that the fruits of this old
man’s labor will not get into the hands of some corrupt
government officials just like that.

MODALITIES:

I want you to know that I have had everything planned out so
that we shall come out successful. I shall employ the services
of an attorney that will prepare the necessary document that
will back you up as the next of kin, and also he will be
drafting and tarization the WILL and to obtain the necessary
documents and letter of probate/administration in your favor for
the transfer. There is a reward for this project and it is a
task well worth undertaking. There is no risk involved at all in
this transaction as all the paperwork for this transaction will
be done by the attorney and my position as the Branch Manager
guarantees the successful execution of this transaction.

I have evaluated the risks and the only risk I have here is for
you refusing to work with me and alerting my bank. I am the only
one who knows of this situation, good fortune has blessed you
with a name that has planted you into the center of relevance in
my life. 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 share in the
ratio of 50% for me, and 50% for you. I send you this mail not
without a measure of fear as to what the consequences, but I
know within me that nothing ventured is nothing gained and that
success and riches never come easy or on a platter of gold.
Please observe this instruction religiously.

Do not betray my confidence. If we can be of one accord, we
should plan a meeting soon after this project is successful.
Please observe utmost confidentiality, and rest assured that
this transaction would be most profitable for both of us because
I shall require your assistance to invest my share in your
country.

Kind Regards,

Hong Wu.
