    I'm into the scammers!

    Ok, lets play:

    Hello,

    Good day to you!

    Please pardon the abruptness of this letter; it is due to its exigency. I am a member of the auditing team at OCBC Bank Singapore, though you were listed as a beneficiary to the total sum of $26.2M USD (Twenty Six Million Two Hundred Thousand United States dollars) of a deceased who may be related to you (perhaps) in Singapore died couple of years ago in the Tsunami tragedy in Indonesia (names withheld for security reason) who died interstate with no Will or Next of Kin. To maintain the level of security required I have intentionally left out the final details.

    I contacted you because you bear the same LAST NAME identity with the deceased and therefore can present you as the (Next of Kin) to the inheritance claim. I therefore reckoned that you can receive these funds as you are qualified by your last name identity.

    I urge you to come forward since I can provide you with the details needed for you to claim the estate/capital so that we can be gratified by you, we intend to offer you 35% and 60% for us and the remaining 5% for miscellaneous expenses incurred during the cost of this mutual project though my colleagues and I will do all the crucial part in the bank to have the inheritance claim released to you promptly.

    All the legal papers will be processed in your acceptance of this mutual beneficial project, I hereby request that you kindly forward to my private email: [email protected] (1) a letter of acceptance; (2) your full names, (3)home address, (4)Occupation/place of work and position held, (5)Telephone, fax and mobile (6)scanned photocopy of your id in the form of business card or international passport or driver's license to enable us prepare the necessary bank papers to effect the quick release of the inheritance funds to your nominated bank account.

    I wait in anticipation for your fullest cooperation.

    Sincerely,

    Tommy Ping

        My only question is how did you choose which one (of the several dozen you get each day) to reply to?
        Nostalgia just ain’t what it used to be.

              Monster.com had a HUGE Identity Theft scam run on job seekers a few years ago. People gave up their SSN etc as part of job applications.

              You know, your SSN has no expiration date, and much can be done with it. Anyone can contact me for more info but ID Theft is a lucrative, relatively safe and easy crime for those inclined to commit it.

                  On a related note...

                  I think Lois said it best, God bless wikiquote
                  Superman: The Movie - Wikiquote

                  Lois Lane: So how did you enjoy your first day on the job?
                  Clark Kent: Frankly the hours were somewhat longer than I expected, but meeting you and Jimmy and Mr. White on the whole I think it's just swell.
                  Lois Lane: Swell? You know, Clark, there are very few people left in the world these days who sound comfortable saying that word.
                  Clark Kent: What word?
                  Lois Lane: "Swell".
                  Clark Kent: Really? It just sort of comes naturally to me.

                  Hysterical as I recall. That movie was very well done.

                      Gorn Captain,

                      This is not like selling pieces of Federation space. You don't own Belgium and can't sell it.

                      However, I have some connections with the Royal family and they have an... opening shall we say that could put someone in the Royal line...

                      I could arrange a meeting between with my contact for the first person to get me $50,000. Contact me for details. Not sure I trust PayPal.
