It has been a while since I’ve posted about scam e-mails, but a couple have made it past my spam filter in recent days, and so I thought it might be worth warning the gullible out there. If you receive either of these, please don’t be stupid enough to think that some random individual has singled you out to give a large sum of money to. It is a scam to get your personal information, and perhaps more.
Below are the two e-mails. One came from “Mr.West Tom” frdayff@eircom.net with the title “Contact My Pastor Immediately”. The other came from “Nadine C. Bruce M.D.” nbruce@neoucom.edu

Good Day To You,
I am Mr.Jun Huan of HSH Nordbank AG, Hong Kong. I have an obscured
business suggestion for you. In November, 1999, Ahmad Fahmi an
Indonesian, a contractor with the Iraqi Government and also a
businessman, made a time investment of US$24.5M as secured growth
funds for (60) sixty calendar months in my Branch. This investment has
matured and has been lying in our Bank reserve for the past two years,
and under the Hong Kong banking laws, any time Investment unclaimed
after three years will be turned over to the Hong Kong Government
purse.
Upon maturity several notices were sent to him and no response came
from him. Early This year, it was later discovered that the Ahmad
Fahmi and his family were killed in a convoy attack in Musol, Iraqi on
22nd Aug, 2004. After further investigation it was also discovered
that Ahmad Fahmi did not declare any next of kin in his official
papers including the paper work of his Bank deposit. And he also
confided in me the last time he was in my Office that no one except me
knew of his deposit in my Bank.
Against this backdrop. I will like you as a foreigner to stand as the
next of kin to Ahmad Fahmi so that you will be able to receive this
funds. I have contacted an Attorney that will prepare the necessary
document that will back you up as the next of kin to Ahmad Fahmi and
also the rightful beneficial to the funds. After you have been made
the next of kin, the Attorney will also fill in for claims on your
behalf and secure the necessary approval and letter of probate in your
favour for the transfer of the funds to your nominated bank account.We
are going adopt a legalized method and the Attorney will prepare all
the necessary documents.Please endeavour to observe utmost discretion
in all matters concerning this issue. What is required from you at
this stage is for you to provide me with your full names, address,
direct telephone and fax numbers to enable my Attorney commence his
job.
Reply strictly if you are interested with the requested information
via my personal email address hshjunhuan12@hotmail.com to enable
the Attorney commences his job immediately.
Sincerely,
Mr.Jun Huan.
