Hang Seng Bank Ltd Letter Scam: Peter Wong

If you’ve gotten an email that looks like this one

FROM:Mr.Peter Wong
Hang Seng Bank Ltd
17 Des Voeux Road
Hq Branch.
Hong Kong.
Hello,
I sincerely ask for forgiveness for I know this may seem like a complete intrusion to your privacy but right about now this is my only option of communication. This mail might come to you as a surprise and the temptation to ignore it as unserious could come into your mind; but please consider it a divine wish and accept it with a deep sense of humility. I am Mr. Peter Wong director of operations of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd. I have an obscured business suggestion for you.

I want you to know that this is an email scam. “Peter Wong” (in this particular case) is a false name. More than likely this person is from Nigeria. That is where most of these scammers come from.

If you read the letter in the link above, he has some of the same elements in his plea for help. Except its from a “MR. CHEUNG PUI”. Notice that the company is the same as well, Hang Seng Bank Ltd. “Hang Seng Bank Ltd” maybe a legit complany in China (the equivalent of a Bank of America) but these Nigerian email scammer are using their name.
