Beware Hang Seng Bank LTD Bullshit Email By Mr.J.Chan

I would like you to read an email that I’ve just received. Although it’s obvious that this email is an attempt at gaining the recipients private details and therefore falls in the phishing category it does have a few differences. The main one would have to be the fact that it refers to a natural disaster, supplying links to several newsworthy sites as if that alone would substantiate the credibility of the email, which caused the demise of some wealthy businessman who left $25.5 deposited in their bank.

Naturally this guy is willing to send you the money once you send him your details. Of course it’s bullshit, so if you’ve received the following email do yourself a favor and delete it.

Greetings!

lucrative business proposal of mutual interest to share with you.There is no
way for me to know whether I will be properly understood, but it is my duty
to write and reach out to you,TRUSTING that you will give this proposal a
