No, they don't. They will tell you they have so many of these, they don't need anymore.

FYI: I'm still waiting for my money.

Everybody is not as smart as you, thanks


I was not being critical, just curious about why you did open it.
Thanks,

Mr. Ming Yang

Dear Friend,
I am Mr.Ming Yang, director of operations of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd, Sai WanHo Branch. I have an obscured business suggestion for you concerning one of our client. This business is about Major Fadi Basem and his family who were killed during the war in a bomb blast that hit their home.

Until his death he deposited the sum of Twenty Four million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars with my bank, after further investigation it was also discovered that Major Fadi Basem did not declare any next of kin in his official papers including the paper work of his bank deposit. What bothers me most is that according to the laws of my country at the expiration of 3 years the funds will revert to the ownership of the Hong Kong Government if nobody applies to claim the funds. Against this backdrop, my proposal to you is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to Major Fadi Basem so that you will be able to receive his funds. All that is required from you at this stage is for you to provide me with your full Names, address and phone numbers so that the attorney can commence his job. After you have been made the next of kin, we shall share in the ratio 50% for me, 45% for you and 5% will be used to pay back expenses incurred from both ends in the process of the transfer.

I am prepared to release further details to you based on your response and communications.If you are interested in assisting me, I will give you more details.
Email:ming@my-ming.com
Awaiting your response.
Sincerely,
Mr.Ming Yang

Why open emails like this? I do not receive any, but I would certainly recognize this type by the listed subject.

All those scams go directly to my spam box, and I don't even read them.... just trash them every so often.

Yes, report the scam at once, as a civic duty.


govt. won't care. I've forwarded a dozen of these things to my state's attorney general's office and never once received a response. It's not worth your time to do anything.

Image if you are walking down a street. Down on the pavement is twenty dollar bill. You pick it up and run ahead. You ask the next twenty people who walked past if they want their cut of the $20 bill. "Sure!" They say. But everyone must give you two one dollar bills. Then you will share what you found on the pavement.
REALLY!
When was the last time that happened to you. When did someone else find money and offer to give it to you.
NEVER!
This scam has been going on as long as there have been twenty dollar bills.
NOPE!
I'm not interested. This will find its way into my spam folder.
I'm not writing about the one on my computer. I'm writing about the one in the box that houses my personal central processing unit.

By the way, the FBI is so overwhelmed by these scammers, they don't have enough agents to track these scammers down. That is why these scammers exist.

Absolutely, you said it so very well. One of the current ones (don't have any idea how long this one has been going on, quite a while most likely.) Posing as a service man they are sending you a pkg shipped from them to you........of course getting stuck in customs somewhere and you need to come up with huge amounts of money. On and on and on. Makes you want to put them into some kind of snake pit and leave them there. They never quit, is spot on. Good talking with you

This goes on all the time so I doubt the FBI can do a thing to stop it as they most likely are not in their jurisdiction. Just delete it.
