My letter bears the telephone number +852 8170 3961: it was received today at my work address and is dated 4th April. It purports to be from Mr. Li Pei. It appears to be the same sort of text that other contributors to this site have received; again, the magic figure of US $14.7 million is described: Mr. Pei  magnanimously wants to split this amount with me on a 50/50 basis. I have retained the envelope: the self-adhesive postage label bearsthe code. 62AC 483U, beneath the £0.60 postage charge, . I hope this information is of use to someone.

My letter bears the telephone number +852 8197-4465: it was received today at my business address and is dated 28th May. It purports to be from Mr. Bao Dishi. It appears to be the same sort of text that other contributors to this site have received;  the magic figure this time is US $17.7 million is described: Mr. Bao Dishi wants to split this amount with me on a 50/50 basis, as the funds need to be liquidated and I am a namesake. I have retained the envelope: the self-adhesive postage label bears the code. 62AC 582U, beneath the £0.60 postage charge, and 72AC582U above the scanner square . I hope this information is of use to someone.

I cannot believe the number of people who die in Hong Kong and leave $14.7 million with no one to leave it to!! Definitley not gonna visit Hong Kong it sounds like a very unlucky place to go!! Yup just received a letter from Xiang Cheng from Chiyu Bank, funnily enough there is also a Cheng Xiang District in Hong Kong!!  Not gonna do anything with it as too busy but thought I would put a post up just to keep this scam up to date!! My bar code on my envelope was 72AC 482U and it was posted 11th June and received today 12th June.  Obviously whoever is doing this is not gonna give up yet as it looks as though this has been going on some time.

Good Luck to anyone who wants to look into this further, and thank you all for posting your comments it stopped me losing sleep about my lost millions!!!

Just receive same post today addressed to my husband! 12/06/12. Unfortunately the name of the supposed deceased is the same as my brother-in-law who died suddenly a year ago! Luckily he did not die in China, which made me suspicious and I decided to Google this bank and found this site! If my husband had read this, it would most certainly pick away at the wound that is just starting to heal. These SCUMS need to be caught! Our letter will most certainly be going to the police! Although it is sad, I have to laugh, do they think everyone would be so gullible as to respond without some research? Thanks for this site!

Thanks for your blog, I have just received letter supposed to be from a Xiang Cheng at Chiyu Banking Corporation Ltd in Hong Kong .... It said exactly what you described, thought it was probably a scam hence the search on internet!  Will now hand the letter over to the police!

Yep I got too today, June 12th, with letter date 18th May. Mine came from Jin Wang. Scary! He is supposedly employed by Chiyu Bsnking Corp. Hong Kong. Yeah right!

I received one too postal ref 62AC 282U posted 11/6/12 received to my work address 12/6/12. The letter is dated 23/2/12 with an email xiangchen78@ymail.com &phone number +852 8124 5797.

$14.7m - 50/50 split  - claims guy shared my surname and died in accident in China , no next of kin , Heir Hunters have drawn a blank , wants to split funds with me etc etc etc

Do they never give up?

Do they think we are so naive that we don't use google etc!!!!!!!!

Mine is on its way to police too !

Frankly, if anyone falls for this load of drivel they deserve to be fleeced. I binned my rediculous letter after reading the first paragraph.

My letter bears the telephone number +852 800 905 068  it was received today at my business address and is dated 18th. June. It purports to be from Mr. Wei Ding Xiang Director, Consolidated Assets, Private Banking, for the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC).  It appears to be the same sort of text that other contributors to this site have received;  the magic figure this time is US $12.2 million and  is with an investment bank BEA Global Investments HongKong. Mr. Xiang wants to split this amount with me on a 50/50 basis, as the funds need to be liquidated and I am a namesake. I have retained the envelope: postage frank bears the names Greenford/Windsor and has a first class stamp . I hope this information is of use to someone.

My son just received the same letter from Chu Yun, fax +852-3017-7332, email yun8872@ymail.com
We had a good laugh about it as our surname is one of the most common English ones.
Don't like the fact it was sent from the UK (at least the postage suggests this).
Am seriously concerned about the number of fatal accidents occurring to British tourists in China!!

Pure profit (for them) - if some idiot did give them their bank account details.  They would simply find a way into the account and clean it out.  And you wouldnt have a leg to stand on.  They could also find other ways of getting money or goods using your bank details.  You could find yourself owing thousands.  Also, if you did contact them from a private e mail address, they could get into your email system and again find ways of getting personal details.  And, again could use the information gleaned to order goods on line.  Again, you would find yourself responsible for that debt.

Please do not give them any personal or bank details

I don't know anything about what you are complaining about.  All I know is that my son and now my neighbour have received almost identical scamming letters about an inheritance.  Through this site I found out how widespread this scam is.  If that brings it into more public notice it can only be a good thing - except for the scammers.
Your post has encouraged me to "google" the problems you are talking about, but not using your posts.  There is obviously an interesting story going on, which no doubt the courts will be sorting out.
This might have turned into a blog, but that doesn't make the people posting on it morons.  To call people such when you have no knowledge of their characters is deeply offensive.

The above post was written in response to a post which has now disappeared

They are still at it. Got a letter this morning. I think it is sad that some people resort to ripping off others in order to survive/ live lavish lifestle.
Dirty job but I suppose someone is going to do it.

I reckon they must be investing as the amount they offered me was $18 million.

Just to add to my post, I took my son's and my neighbour's letter to the police, who laughed wryly and showed me all the entries in their incident book. They gave me incident numbers and assured me the problem was being investigated.

As with the above comments I too received a letter yesterday claiming someone in my family had died in HK and left $17.5m (yes its going up!).  A Mr Micheal Zu on tel 852 8193 4004 (new number) and email: zu020@ymail.com would share my half of the claim (if of course I keep this all confidential). Ha Ha Ha not a chance

Have had similar mail $14.7 million US from a Martin Gong tel. 8528197 4465. re deceased relative who died in China and left money in Darian Bank Zhongshan District China. 116001. Also a follow up letter supposed to be from the bank asking me to be in Hong Kong in 14 days to collect said MILLIONS.  
Was from the Chiyu Banking Corp. in Hong Kong so the Scam continues with another name.
email was gong1986@yahoo.com

Have posted a message as received the same letter with 14.7 US million from a deceased relative (John) from a Martin Gong and a Bank letter from China to be in Hong Kong in 14 days to collect said inheritance.  Seems there is a change of name and the letter had a Darian Bank letterhead from
88 Tian AN International Tower, Zhongshan Province, Dalian China.

I got a letter on 3 July to my office address. It was dated 23/02/12. The postmark, which appeared to be British, showed the code 46C9 6X7E and stated "Post By 02.07.12". The telephone number given was +852 8124 5797. The standard of English used is poor.

Again the same old story about my namesake having died in China and their "appointed Heir Hunters have reached a dead end on the matter". Proposed a 50/50 split. Told that I would be contacted by Dalian Bank . Numerous references in letter for confidentaility and "Do not betray my confidentiality". I'll leave you to your imagination to guess why. Oh.........and he says, you do not have to know the name of the deceased.

I think of the heartache caused to people to who may be taken in by this scam. It doesn't do much for Anglo-Chinese realations.

My letter and envelope is going to the police.
