So on the first day of a new month I received a scam e-mail from Mr Jacobs Zhang. Hahaha. What a funny way to start a new month. I am so entertained.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Email from Mr Jacobs Zhang:
Dear Sir/Madam,
It is understandable that you might be apprehensive because you do not know me but I have a lucrative
business proposal of mutual interest to share with you. Permit me to introduce myself, I am Mr Jacob Zhong,
Chief Financial Officer of the Bank of China (Hong kong), Eastern Commercial Centre, Wan Chai Branch.
Only recently I discovered that an account belonging to Farhan Morad Sahed, who was with the Iraqi
forces and also a businessman made a numbered fixed deposit for 12 calendar months, with a value of
Eight Million Three Hundred Thousand United State Dollars (US$8,300,000.00) only into an account
with my branch, Upon maturity several notice was sent to him, but there was no response.
Again, December last year, another notification was sent and still no response came from him. We later
find out that Farhan Morad Sahed and his family had been killed during the war in gun fire at Mukaradeeb
where his personal oil well was.

After further enquiries, it was discovered that Farhan Morad Sahed did not declare any next of kin in his
official papers, including the paper work of his bank deposit. The last time he came to my office, he
confided in me that no one knew of this deposit in my bank. What bothers me most is that according to
the laws of my country, at the expiration of six{6} years, the funds will be revert to the ownership of the
Hong Kong Government, if nobody applies to claim it. Against this backdrop, my suggestion to you is
that I will like to front you as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to Farhan Morad Sahed, so that you
will be able to receive his funds.
MODALITIES:
I want you to know that all modalities for the successful of this transfer to you have been mapped out
and success is 100% sure. I have an attorney that will prepare the necessary documents that will back
you up as the next of kin to Farhan Morad Sahed all that is required from you is 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 file for claims on your behalf and also secure the necessary approval and letter of
probate in your favour for the movement of the funds to an account that will be provided by you. We are
going to adopt a legalized method because the attorney will prepare all necessary documents in your
favour. There is a reward for this project and it is a task well worth undertaking. There is no risk involved
at all in our planned modalities, I have evaluated the risks and the only risk I have here is your refusing to
work with me and Alerting my bank.
I am the only one who knows of this situation. Please endeavour to observe utmost discretion in all
matters concerning this issue. Once the funds have been transferred to your nominated bank account,
we shall share in the ratio of 50% for me, 50% for you. Please observe these instructions religiously.
Should you be interested please send me your:
1. Full names and address.
2. Telephone and fax numbers.
And finally after that I shall furnish you with more information about this operation.
Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated.
Kind Regards
Jacob Zhong

And this is my reply to Mr Jacobs Zhang's offer:
Dear Jacob!
Thank you so much! Your email came just in the right time when i needed money!
So all i need to do is to give you my full name, my address, and telelphone number?? Do you also need me to send you my bank account number and PIN NUMBER so that i can receive US$8,300,000.00 from Mr Farhan Morad Sahed who passed away together with his whole family? My condolences to Mr Farhan Morad Sahed who randomly pick you and fixed deposit such a large amount to you only to have you looking for randomly picked people to receive his funds.
What BOTHERS me most is the fact that you said you "only recently discovered that an account belonging to Mr Farhan Morad Sahed made a fixed deposit into an account with your branch" only to have you tell me "The last time he came to YOUR office he confided in YOU that no one knew of his deposit in YOUR bank".
FYI, Mr Farhan Morad Sahed is a Facilities Protection Service worker who pass away at Wassit or Diwaniya area not at Mukaradeeb where his personal oil well is and he died on the 20 July 2008, 12:00 PM to be more specific not December last year. And, he didn't die with his family. WTF Jacob, Did you do your homework?
And what BOTHERS me even MORE is the fact that you would rather randomly picked me to receive such a HUGE AMOUNT OF MONEY FROM A DEAD PERSON than to let the funds be revert to the ownership of the Hong Kong Government.
Can you imagine me laughing at a scammer because of his poor ability to scam? HA HA HA Fuck your life Jacob. Big time. Are you from china? Judging on your introduction of yourself you are a chief financial officer of the bank in china (LOL) blah blah blah WAN CHAI BRANCH.
Please see link don't be stupid and lazy -> http://www.scamwarners.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=15342
So in regards to the risk that you mentioned; ME REFUSING TO WORK WITH YOU, check. ME ALERTING YOUR BANK, check (I doubt your bank even exist). So i guess you haven't mention one more risk is that ME GOING TO THE POLICE STATION TO REPORT YOU UNDER SCAMMING CASE, check!
Please furnish me with more information so that i could furnish the police with more information too! Please observe my email INTELLIGENTLY.
Should you be interested in my name, address, telephone number, fax number, bank account number and my bank's pin number, please FURNISH ME WITH MORE INFORMATION.
Your earliest response to this email is not needed if you have so much of a free time to send retarded email, i suggest you to go look for a proper job and work hard rather than hoping for fast money by scamming. I rather be stupid and down to earth than to be a stupid scammer.
Now i'm going to take a min to close my eyes and pray for you, Mr Jacobs Zhang. Pray for you to change your mind to rather be stupid but down to earth. Amen.
Thank you so much for choosing me to receive such a HUGE AMOUNT OF MONEY, NOT.
Best regards,
J
