Mr. LEE Raymond Wing Hung - Next of Kin Scam

The following email will be sent from any one of many disposable email address that the scammer uses, in this case it came from [email protected]

The header indicates the email was actually sent from China, 218.76.207.31 China (Hunan)*

Scammers operate from every country of the world and China is fast becoming a popular choice for scammers to operate from.

This particular email promises you a share of a large amount of money but of course in order for you to get your hands on it you will first need to pay fees, in fact, you will continually be asked to provide more and more fees, a banker or lawyer may be involved to work with you and some of the people you deal with may even tell you that they have paid some of the fees for you which the other persons involved will confirm, this is a ploy to make you think the person who contacted you is actually helping you but of course, he is just trying to make his scam look more realistc

Edit: I should have checked before posting, we have the same scammer with different email address posted here viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1854

Of course, every person you are passed onto will be part of the same group of scammers if not the same person and you will never actually recieve any money, only fees.

Searching on the opening line of the email shows over 1,000 hits on the exact line and all of them are scam related, you can have a look for yourself by clicking Here

Please dont become the next victim of this scammer, delete and ignore is your best course of action

proposal a positive consideration.

The deceased account has been declared dormant since 2006 and these funds
will be confiscated/declared unserviceable and turned over to the Hong Kong
government if the deceased business associates or next-of-kin did not claim
this money; since all efforts to trace any living relative of the deceased
proved abortive, i have decided that i will have you claim this money as the
deceased business associate/or next-of-kin, since you are from the same
country and perhaps have some similarities in certain areas.



Everything concerning this transaction shall be LEGALLY done without hitch,
as i was the deceased account Officer and all the relevant documents of this
deposit were kept under my care.



Please endeavor to observe utmost discretion in all matters concerning this
issue, as i hope that you are a sincere, honest and matured person and above
all TRUSTWORTHY. Once the funds have been successfully transferred into your
account, we shall share it in a ratio of 30% for you, 65% for me and my
associates in the bank and the reminder 5% to take care of contingencies.



I will prefer you reach me on my private email address below :{
[email protected]) and finally after that I shall furnish you
with more information about this operation. I am counting on your
anticipated co-operation for a successful and hitch free business
transaction between us, that will be mutually beneficial, for a start oblige
me these information:-

1. Your Full name{s}:-
2.Current contact address:-

3. Your present Occupation: -
4.Your age:-

5. Contact phone numbers {Office and Mobile {cell}:-



Please if you are not interested delete this email and do not hurt me
because I am putting my career and the life of my family at stake with this
venture. Although nothing ventured is nothing gained, as it is said, the
taste of the pudding is in the eating, do give this proposal SERIOUS AND
POSITIVE CONSIDERATION.



Your earliest response to this letter will be highly appreciated.

Hi Triage
Welcome to Scamwarners

Often scammers email addresses are closed down by their providor, we actually prefer when they stay open so that anybody who does search such as you did may find the proof of their scams
If they change email address it makes it much harder to track them

Thanks for the info, feel free to ask if you have any questions
