I have just set up a new email account using duff information and sent Mr Gull an email showing my great interest in his proposal but have stated 50/40 split my way. Lets see what his response is!!!!!!

[Jack]

lol there's a good site out there somewhere, detailling how a guy strung along some 419ers. I did it a while ago when selling my old hatchback ("yes I have the horn for your Vauxhall" LOL).

As for banking scams, I had one a few months ago all labelled up as a HSBC email, proper graphics and all. Looked quite legit. However it was from hsbc@natwestbankingonline.com or something like that. Whoops lol

[Pistol Pete]

I say we get our own back and spam him lol email is in the orginal post!

Good Day To You My Friend.
It is understandable that you might be a little bit apprehensive
because you do not know me but I have a lucrative business proposal of
mutual interest to share with you. I got your reference in my search
for someone who suits my proposed business relationship.

I am Mr. Peter. Lee a South Korean, happily married with children, and
i am a Director of Hang Seng Bank Ltd, in charge of the International
Remittance department. I have a confidential business suggestion for
you. I will need you to assist me in executing a business project from
Hong Kong to your country. It involves the transfer of a large sum of
money. Everything concerning this transaction shall be legally done
without hitch. Please endeavour to observe utmost discretion in all
matters concerning this issue.

Once the funds have been successfully transferred into your account,
we shall share in the ratio to be agreed by both of us. I will prefer
you reach me on my private email address below (peterleejp@yahoo.cn)
and finally after that I shall furnish you with more information's
about this operation. Should you be interested, please forward the
following to me urgently:

1. Full names
2. Occupation
3. Private phone number
4. Current contact address

Please if you are not interested delete this email and do not hunt me
because I am putting my career and the life of my family at stake with
this venture. Although nothing ventured is nothing gained.
