Many people are fans of my Nigeria Calling series of email scammer pranks I played on a nigerian scammer. I’m in the middle of one now with a Hong Kong businessman by the name of of Vincent Hong.

I’ve decided to let you good people follow along while this progresses rather than wait until I have some long unwieldy thread. God I hope he IMs me.

Hello Vince,

Far be it from me to tell a grown man how to operate his computer machine but before we get started on this business project/proposition of yours I want to help already: when you want someone to write you back at a certain email address, just write the email from that address! Dig that!

Please send me info about your business idea as i’ve always been very business minded having one time sold a hammer to my neighbor Larry for higher than the retail price I paid. I think that example should let you know what kind of shark you’re dealing with here.

Dear Friend,

Thanks alot for your interest in partnering with me! I sure like to tell you that we will gain alot from this transaction but there are some certain things we must do to achieve this…However let me give you a comprehensive note what this is about.

I am Mr.Vincent Hong, Non Executive Director of Hang Seng Bank Ltd, Hong Kong.

An Iraqi named Haider Hanoon,a business man made a numbered fixed deposit of Forty Four million Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars only in my branch.. Upon maturity several notice was sent to him, even during the war, Seven years ago (2003). Again after the war another notification was sent and still no response came from him. We later found out that Haider Hanoon and his family had been killed during the war in Gunfire that hit their home at Mukaradeeb.

After further investigation it was also discovered that Haider Hanoon 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, Forty Four million Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars is still lying in my bank and no one will ever come forward to claim it. What bothers me is that according to the laws of my country at the expiration seven years six months the funds will revert to the ownership of the Hong Kong Government if nobody applies to claim the funds.

Be informed that the fact that you are a foreigner give you the privilege to stand in as my deceased client beneficiary as my deceased had no relation all his family died with him during the war and i can not use my relation because its not accepted here in Hong Kong. Also I am very confident that we will be able to establish the trust that is needed to complete this deal and all that I need for now is your willingness and commitment so that we can end this in the next two weeks.

What you need to understand about this transaction is that I will make sure that it passes through all international banking laws regards to this I will take care of the cost of retaining the service of my Attorney to give the transaction the proper documentation that is required to perfect the finishing.Your only obligation in this transaction is to accept to stand in as the only existing beneficiary of my deceased client and you will have to set up offshore account that can accommodate the funds with my principal bank which I will give you information later once we finalize this deal.

Further more I sending you my personal information below;

Shit were you drunk when you wrote that? Haha. Sometimes I write rambling emails to people when i’m drunk… Talk about  TL:DR! Well from skimming your email I get the idea that some iraqi bought the farm and he left you a lot of money and you want to give it to me and want me to then share some with you.

I have not only a HSBC account (HK) but also a Hang Seng account (HK) and a China Construction Bank account (PRC)  =and a Bank Of America account!! boooya!! So you can shoot me the money to any one of those.  Even if you’re a bad shot it’s gonna be hard to miss all of those accounts! Joking!

Im sorry to hear about the iraqi guy and his violent death I hope that allah the most forgiving and peaceful didn’t let any of his fluids hit that beautiful US money during the incident. Joking!

As you can see I like joking but even more than joking I like US dollars. Let’s rock.
