Beware The Hang Seng Bank Phishing Email

Vice/Chief Executive.
Hang Seng Bank Ltd.
Hong Kong.
Good Day,
This is a Life time Opportunity and a genuine opportunity for both of us. I am Wai Chung Lam,Vice/Chief Executive. with the Hang Seng Bank and I got your profile while insearch for the right
person that suits this transaction and can be of asisstance in this transaction of which if you are interested and serious we
will be through within a couple of days.
Before the U.S and Iraq war our client Lieutenant-Colonel Omar Musa Hussein who was with the Iraq forces and also businessman, made a numbered fixed deposit
for 18 calendar months,with a value of Twenty Seven Million Nine Hundred Thousand United States Dollars only in my branch.Upon maturity several
notices was sent to him, even during the war which began in 2003.
Again after the war another notification was sent and still no response came from him.
We later found out that the Colonel along with his wife and only daughter had been killed during the war in a suspected car bomb that rocked the
Italian military police headquarters in the southern Iraq city of Nassiriya.

After further investigation it was also discovered that Lieutenant-Colonel Omar Musa Hussein 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 at my office that no one except me knew of his deposit in my bank.
So now, Twenty Seven Million Nine Hundred Thousand United States Dollars is still lying in my bank and no one will ever come forward to claim it. What bothers me most is that according to the laws of my country at the expiration 12years the funds will revert to the ownership of the Hong Kong Government if nobody applies to claim the funds. Against this backdrop, my suggestion to you is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to Lieutenant-Colonel Omar Musa Hussein so that you will be able to receive his funds.
