Hi,
My mom received the same message from a coordinator named DR. LYNDA DUKE telling her that she won 850,000GBP and asking her to email the details (name, sex, date of birth, nationality, etc..) to agent Rev. Frank Jackson at revfrankjackson@gmail.com..
Hope this kind of scam be stopped so that nobody will become a victim again.
I have just recieved one of those fake inheritance letters from Mr Cho Xiang of the Shoku Chukin Bank of Hong Kong,luckily I checked it out first on this website. It is worded the same as the letters above with a promise of 12 k USD I will not be following it up and hope others read this before they do
somebody sent me a similar email with almost the same words and i fell for it at first because it thought the documents they emailed me were true untill the lawyer asked for 15,500 to represent me since i cant be their smh i knew it was to good to be true
this same letter was sent to me to. I nearly fell for it too. till they then asked me to pay USD15,000 to a bogus solicitor up front to be power of attorney for me at an ASIA signing over meeting because I was not able to be there. looked up and found out bogus solicitors has fake website too. Edmund Chung & Wo surposed to be in Kowloon Hong Kong. Public Bank Hong Kong surposed to be bank with the inheritance money in USD10,500.000.

My dad has been sent same letter From a huo ho.... Had to break the news to my dad that it's another idiot trying to rip off vulnerable people. It's easy to fall for it because not asking for any money at first... So fed up with people sending these things to my 76 year old dad. But defiantly a con! Should be sorted legally people are getting away with this! .
Hi, we have at the moment a person from china saying there is a 12 million inheritance waiting of a namesake and he will split it with us we are aware it is a scam but so far he has asked for no money etc! Does anyone know what the scam is?
yes. You will be asked to pay solicitors who will act on your behalf.
They will send you "receipts" showing they have paid out the initial legal costs but you will need another registered attorney to handle the legal position with the bank.

My son wanted a new Charger too!:( lol
I am Chung Wung Li, Principal Assurance manager for the China Trust Commercial Bank in China. I have asked a friend coming to the UK to post this letter on my behalf. I am getting in touch with you regarding the estate of Alfred S. Yourname and an investment placed under our banks management 8 years ago.
I would respectfully request that you keep the contents of this mail confidential and respect the integrity of the information you came by a as a result of this mail. I contact you independently and no one is informed of this communication.
In 2000 Alfred came to our bank to engage in business discussions with our privayte banking division. He informed us that he had a financial portfolio of 12.35 million United States dollars, which he wished to invest on our behalf. Based on my advice we spun the money around various investment opportunities and made attractive margins for our first months of operation, the accrued profit and interest stood at this point at over 14 million United States Dollars. In mid 2002 he instructed that the principal sum (12.35M) be liquidated because he needed to make an urgent investment regarding cash payments in Hong Kong. We got in touch with a specialist bank in Hong Kong the Dah Sing Bank (DSB) who agreed to receive this money for a fee and make cash available to Alfred. However Dah Sing Bank got in touch with us last year that this money had not been claimed. On further enquiries we found out that Alfred was involved in an accident in Mainland China, which means he died intestate. He has no next of kin and the reason I am writing to you is because you are namesakes.
Whai I propose is tjhat since I have exclusive access to his file, you will be made the beneficiary of these funds. My bank will contact you informing you that money has been willed to you. On verification which will be the details I make available to my bank, my bank will instruct DSB to make payments to you. You do not have to have known him. I know this might be a bit heavy for you but please trust me on this. For all your troubles I propose that we split the money in half. In the banking circle this happens every time. The other option is that the money will revert back to the state.
Nobody is getting hurt; this is a lifetime oppportunity for us. I hold the KEY to these funds and as a Chinese national we see so much cash and funds being re-assigned daily.
I had exactly the same letter as you and went along with it almost believing it to be true, but discovered the scam before any money was asked for.
I was curious as to what exactly they were going to request - I assume it was going to be some release fee. Did that happen to you and how much did they ask for? Or did you not let it get that far?
