Another scam involves sending people money orders for more than they are supposed to then requesting the balance from the transaction be mailed to them. This might happen on a roommate site or auction site. They will make up a story about how they got the money order for a previous deal that someone else backed out of and request you send them the balance from the transaction. When you deposit the money order the bank credits your account. You write a check for the balance and mail it off. A couple weeks later the bank finds out the money order is a forgery. They take the money out of your account, but before that happen the scammer already cashed your check.

Bank scams are also very popular. No matter what never go to a website from an email claiming to be from your bank. Even if it is from your bank just don't do it. These scams are a full-time job for someone. They are getting more and more sophisticated. They will even go so far as to look up profiles and emails by city and state. Then they spoof the website of a small local credit union or bank. When they are finished with that, they will send you an email that you have been locked out of your account. Don't click on the link.

Where are the police in all of this? Well they will never really get to the bottom of who received what in most cases. It occurs on foreign shores. It is basically a waste of time for them.

Hello:

I am Mr. Peter Wong, one of Hang Seng Bank Ltd board of directors here in Hong Kong. I would respectfully request that you keep the contents of this mail confidential and respect the integrity of the information.

I contacted you independently of our investigation and no one is informed of this communication. I would like to intimate you with certain facts that I believe would be of interest to you. I know you would be wondering why I am writing you with a request such as this but I only urge you to read on.

I need your co-operation in receiving US$10.5Million that has been in a dormant account with my bank since 1997 under inheritance claim. 30% of the total sums will be accrued to you upon the confirmation of the funds in your nominated account. Although it may seem small, but you have to understand and accept this since 40% of the total sum will go to charity, as my entitlement here is also 30%.

The account holder is late and I being his account officer, I have tried to reach any of the next trustees, but to no avail and since I am not in position to make the claim to myself, I can establish you before the bank as the heir to the bequest. It is very important that the claim is made,as the bank will turn the funds over to the treasury anytime from now if it remains unclaimed.

I will provide you with detailed information on the modalities of this operation once I have your interest but I must say that trust flourishes

business. Therefore let your conscience towards this proposal be nurtured with sincerity.

I will prefer you to reach me at my private email address (mrpwong8@gmail.com) and I shall provide you with further details of this

operation.

Dear friend,

This letter may come to you as a surprise due to the
fact that we have
not yet met. I have to say that I have no intentions
of causing you
any pains. My name is Mr. Mark Larson, a merchant
in London, but
taking treatment in Dubai, in the U.A.E. now I have
been diagnosed with
prostate and esophageal cancer that was discovered
very late due to
lack of caring for my health. It has defiled all form
of medicine and
right now,

I have only about a few months to live according to
medical experts. I
have not particularly lived my life so well, as I
never really cared for anyone
not even myself but my business. Though I am very
rich, I was never generous, I
was always hostile to people and only focus on my
business as that was the only
thing I cared for. But now I regret all this as I now
know that there is more to
life than just wanting to have or make all the money
in the world.

Recently, I use to say to my self that if God should
give me a second
chance I would have live it differently way from how I
have lived. I
was meditating on my hospital bed and something told
me that God is
giving me a second chance by keeping me alive though
doctors said I
won’t last long. I know my time is near, that’s why I
have willed and
given most of my properties and assets to my immediate
and extended
family members and as well as some few close friends.
I have decided
to give alms to charity organizations, as I want this
to be one of
the last good deeds I do on earth. So far, I have
distributed money to
some charity organizations in the U.A.E, London and
Ireland. And I
have also met two people on the net who have helped me
distribute
money to charity organizations in their country. Now
my health is
deteriorating so badly,

I really need you to help me distribute the last of my
fortune. You
might be wondering why I did not ask my close
relatives to pick over
this task. But I once asked members of my family to
close one of my
accounts and donate the money, which I have there to
charity
organizations in Bulgaria ; they closed the account
but refused to
donate the money to the organizations, some of them
even fled away with
some of the money while the rest shared the remaining
among money
among themselves. From the way they are acting around
me tells that
they want me dead so that they can talk about
inheritance. Hence, I do
not trust them anymore, as they seem not to be content
with what I have
left for them. The last of my money which is a huge
cash deposit that
I have with a security firm abroad will be put in your
care if only
you will agree.

I want you to help me collect this deposit and
dispatched it to charity
organizations and let them know that it is I Mark
Larson that is
making this generous donation. I am writing this from
my laptop
computer in my hospital bed where I wait for my time
to come.

I pray for you to support and assist me with a good
heart. But the
choice is yours

Please you can contact me through this email address:

Be blessed my beloved,

Mark Larson.

MRS. ADINA F. AGANA
CREDIT ACCOUNTS OFFICER
HEAD OFFICE EQUITABLE PCI BANK TWR.
MKT AVENUE. COR.H.V DELA COSTA STR
PHILIPPINES.

Good Day,

Let me start by introducing myself, I am MRS. ADINA F. AGANA, CREDIT ACCOUNTS OFFICER EQUITABLE PCI BANK. I am writing you this letter based on the latest development at my bank, which I will like to bring to your personal edification. I am writing you this letter with so much joy and excitement even though my heart goes out to the very powerful and distinguished gentleman who I was fortunate to have worked for and extremely privileged to have known for numerous years. I am a top official in charge of client accounts in EQUITABLE PCI BANK inside the Philippines.

In 2001, my client was going through a horrendous divorce in the United States of America and was on the verge of losing most of his estate to his vicious and diabolical wife. As a result of this alarming predicament, my client came to me with a very brilliant idea. He transferred some funds, ten million two hundred thousand dollars ($10.2m) to a fixed deposit account in my bank under an alias which only the two of us knew about as the confidentiality of the matter was necessary for his protection.

Due to his untimely death in early 2002, the funds have been sitting in the account ever since and will continue to do so perpetually unless we do something about it. This is where you come in. I located you through an agency that helps seek people by their email. My client did not declare any next of kin in his official papers including the paper work of his bank deposit. Against this backdrop, my suggestion to you is that I would like you as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to our client so that you will be able to receive his funds. I want you to know that I have had everything planned out so that we can come out successful. I have contacted an attorney that will prepare the necessary document that will back you up as the next of kin to my client. All that is required from you at this stage is for you to provide me with your Full Names and Address so that the attorney can commence his job.

After you have been made the next of kin, the attorney will also file in 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 the matter as we are going adopt a legalized method and the attorney will prepare all the necessary documents. The allocation of our money will be as follows: 20%($2.02m) to you for your part in this, 75% for me and my partners and 5% for any unforeseeable expenses we may incur.

As you can see this is easier than taking candy from a baby, but mind you, trust is something that is developed over time and that is something that we do not have. So I have to let you know that it will highly unfeasible to try to run away with the money because even though only you can transfer money in and out of your account, the transfer can only be authorized by my department of which i happen to be the head. The money will be transferred from my bank to an account you will provide. So please, there should be no room for greed because ten million two hundred thousand dollars can quench even the most insatiable desire for the almighty dollar.

Your urgent response is highly anticipated so please email me through this email; (adina.agana010@hotmail.com) on this transaction as soon as possible. This should be kept very secret and confidential. I believe you know.

Kind Regards,
Mrs. ADINA F. AGANA.

Dear Friend,
YOUR COOPERATION AS NEXT OF KIN
I am William Van Brook an employee of RABO Bank branch here in Netherlands. I have urgent and very confidential business proportion for you. I got your contact from the World Trade Centre Online Web directory here in Nederland. In January 2003 an American Oil Consultant/Contractor Lewis davies) Made a numbered time (fixed deposited) for twelve calendar months valued at (US$2.5 million United States Dollars) in a domiciliary account in my branch. Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification of account statues to his forwarding address but got no reply, after two months, we sent a reminder of same letter and finally we discovered from his contract employers, Sofimation Oy, a Finland Company based here in Netherlands that LEWIS DAVIES died in an auto crash.
After further investigation, I found out that he did not leave a WILL and all attempts to trace next of kin were fruitless. I therefore made further investigation and discovered that he did not declare any Next of Kin in all his official documents, including his bank deposit papers. This sum of US$2,500,000.00 is still floating in our bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one would come forward to claim it, according to Dutch Law, at the expiration of 6 (six) years; the money will revert to the ownership of the Dutch government if nobody applies to claim these funds. Consequent upon the above, my proposal is that I would like you as a foreigner to stand in as the Next of Kin, I Will do all the nesscesary docmentation on your name to stand as the next of kin.
I will quickly work out the full documentation and transfer of the funds into your nominated account anywhere. We shall discuss the percentage as soon as I here from you. Please furnish me with the following details:
A]. Bank Name..................
B]. Bank Address (including Phone & fax numbers)............
C]. Swift Code..........................
D]. Your Account Number..................
E]. Your Account Name .................

I just wanted to mention that there are several legitimate organizations under the David Smith Associates name and it is not uncommon for scammers to use legitimate organizations as a pretext to lure recipients into their web.

UPDATE AGAIN:

Here we are in the month of May and this scam is still on the web. This site has passed the ten thousand mark for reads about David Smith and his scam. As I said before, the poor guy has his name used by some bottom feeder trying to scam honest people sorry David, keep smiling, us honest people sent along our best wishes.

I would love to contact Mr.Williams Moore but should I email him at attorney_williams@yahoo.it or williammoore01@gmail.com? Surely one of my readers would be able to inform me on this one. I can't let this one slip away; I have passed on perhaps 500 million this year and this one is just too good to be true, don't you think?
