The $24.5 Million Deal

I received an email from Mr. Tan Wong. He allegedly claims that he is a director at Hang Seng Bank located in Hong Kong, China. In his message, he makes a confidential business proposition involving transfer of $24,500,000.00.

Although the email sounds innocent enough, my senses alerts me to danger. Really, this person wants to do business with me. Why me? The money involved in this deal has scam, fraud, and possible jail time written all over it. And to make matters worse, this scammer most likely wants to phish personal information from me.

So, Mr. Wong, please and pretty please; stop spamming me!!!

 

Here is a copy of the original email:
