From: Mr. Liu Yan.
Bank of China Ltd.
13/F. Bank of China Tower
1 Garden Road, Hong Kong.

Hello Dr. xxxx,

Thank you for your email. Like I explained earlier, I�m Mr. Liu Yan a
transfer supervisor operations in investment section in Bank of China Ltd.
Secretariat of the BOCHK Charitable Foundation 13/F. Bank of China Tower, 1
Garden Road, Hong Kong. I have an obscured business suggestion for you.

Before the U.S and Iraqi war our client General Mohammed Jassim Ali who was
with the Iraqi forces and also business man made a numbered fixed deposit
for 18 calendar months, with a value of USD19.5M (Nineteen Million Five
Hundred Thousand United State Dollars only) in my branch. Upon maturity
several notice was sent to him, even during the war early this year. Again
after the war another notification was sent and still no response came from
him. We later find out that the general and his family had been killed
during the war in bomb blast that hit their home.

After further investigation it was also discovered that General Mohammed
Jassim Ali 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, Nineteen 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 most is that according to the to the laws of my country at the expiration
5 years 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
General Mohammed Jassim Ali so that you will be able to receive his funds.

WHAT WE NEED TO DO:
I want you to know that I have had everything planned out so that we shall
come out successful. I have contacted an Attorney that will prepare the
necessary document that will back you up as the next of kin to General
Mohammed Jassim Ali, all that is required from you at this stage is for you
to provide me with your Full Names & Address so that the attorney can
commence his job. 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 movement of the funds
to an account that will be provided by you. There is no risk involved at all
in the matter as 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. 30% of the total sums will
be accrued to you upon the confirmation of the funds in your nominated
account. Although it may seem small, but you have to understand and accept
this since 40% of the total sum will go to charity, as my entitlement here
is also 30%. Should you be interested please send me your full names,
private phone/fax and current residential address.

As a show of good faith, I have attached my work I.D and family pics in
this email so that you see the person you are dealing with, please see the
attached file.

Thank you and reply soon.

Kind regards,

Mr. Liu Yan.

I couldn't quite put my finger on it at first, but I just realized it. Look at the grammar and spelling in that thing. It's actually coherent.

Where does the header say it's actually from?

How does that work then ????

149.254.200.224 is T-Mobile UK.

I didn't think that T-Mobile were an Internet provider as such, although they provide services where you can get E-mail alerts on your phone. (Blackberry or whatever).

Anyone know anything about it ? ..... I think it;s a paid for service.

I love to know anything about things that Lads actually pay for ��$$��

I'm pretty sure they provide full internet services to mobile devices.

It's called walk 'n' web...or something.

Posted: Sun Mar 04, 2007 10:55 am

could that mean every time someone writes to [email protected] the Lad will get an alert on his phone ???? ...that could be sooooo annoying.

That's because it's a script.

Oh, and I don't know how it works in the UK but if I get an email on my mobile phone the alert (sender, subject, timestamp) is for free, it's reading the email that would cost me. This feature is not enabled by default.

Huh. Most of the second-sent script's that I've gotten on my baiter address have been a lot sloppier than that. My catcher account has a bunch of well-made ones though, now that I look at them closer.

If he's managed to get a UK IP addy he may well be a clever lad using a proxy server. Be careful.

Why couldn't it just be a lad in the UK?

Posted: Sun Mar 04, 2007 9:44 pm

It could be I guess, he is faily literate.

Posted: Sun Mar 04, 2007 9:58 pm

I suspect that scripts are purchased or handed down from other lads/ogas who are more literate or better educated.

There are many lads in the UK mainly London based. They will spot high hilarity quicker than a West African lad as they watch TV and will know our cultural references better, so bait straighter. To find out the true IQ of your opponent you need to go beyond the script.

The likelihood is that he isn't too bright, but wait until he proves it to you.
