I am Mr. Joseph Poon director of operations of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd. I have an obscured business proposal for you. Before the U.S and Iraqi war our client political party official and a business man Muhannad al-Hakim, made a numbered fixed deposit for 18 calendar months, value at Forty Four million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars, in my branch. Upon maturity several notices where 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 found out that Muhannad al-Hakim, his wife and only daughter had been killed during the war in a gun fire.

After further investigation it was also discovered that uhannad al-Hakim did not declare any next of kin in his official papers, including the paper work of his bank deposit. 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, Forty Four million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars is still lying in my bank, and no one will know of it. What bothers me most is that according to the laws of my country, at the expiration of 3 years and 6 months 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 uhannad al-Hakim so that you will be able to receive his funds.

WHAT IS TO BE DONE:

I want you to know that I have everything carefully planned. I have contacted an attorney that will prepare the necessary documents that will back you up as the next of kin to Muhannad al-Hakim. All that is required from you at this stage is to provide me with your Full Names and Address so that the attorney can commence his job. I will use my position to influence the move of the funds. After you have been made the next of kin, the attorney will file 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 to 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. Should you be interested please send me your full names, private phone/fax and current residential address and finally after that I shall provide you with more details of this operation. I prefer you to reach me with the below.

CCTV, the scammer sends you this tale of millions and hopes to convince you to pay "fees" to "release" the money. The scammer ends up with your "fees" and you end up with nothing, because the millions don't exist.

[lebogangt]

Guys I think I'm in the process of being scammed. I have forwarded them a copy of my ID. Please guys advise on what to do.

[Nyla]

First thing to do is to stop replying to the scammers and definitely do not send any money.

Unfortunately, you can't do anything about the ID that you've already sent. It would be best, if possible, to let the issuing agency for your ID know that you have sent a copy to a known criminal. They would be able to advise you of your risk for identity theft and might even issue you a new one. Different countries and states handle ID differently. You might also see if your local police will accept a report on the ID, but in most cases, they won't.
