Dear Jesse,
Thank you quite immensely for your reply mail.

As I was saying all we need in this transaction is "cooperation/partnership”. As I told you in my last mail, I placed this money USD$1.850,000million in Escrow Account in our bank head office here in China without any beneficiary information. Therefore, I want to place your information as the owner/Title-holder of the US$1.850,000. And all you need do is to forward me your information, which I will fix-in on the Account information and that will make you the real owner of this money with back up sworn-statement. I want to let you know that all the legal papers that may need from in any charges has been place and when you will know what are doing and say when you get to the bank for this transfer.


Below is the information you need to forward to me.
1. Your full name
2. Contact address
3. Telephone and fax numbers
4. Age
5. Occupation
6. Marital Status
7. Your Identification

if you send me these mentioned details, I will fix-in your details on the Account, and I will forward you the contact information of our Head-office Bank in China, where you will apply for the transfer of this money immediately.

But, please very important, I want you to assure me that you will not betray me, we will share the money as I told you earlier; 30% for you and 70% for me, and I will arrange with my wife to come over and meet you for my share in your country, and you will assist her to establish investment in your country because my dream is to invest abroad with you.


I wait for your response.
Best Regards,
Dr. Tin Yang
Pretty much this guy wants your Identification, however this guy is not interested in your bank account, even if you give him a wrong one. So I went ahead and answered his questions of course using a bogus bank account. The next day he sent a e-mail with instruction to foward the letter to so called"ABC Bank". E-mail address was provided to foward to..

Dear Sir,

Your mail is received and the content is well understood, you file will only be open from now till Tuesday next week, for the transfer you have two option, send the money through Money gram or western union, I believe that money gram will be easy and cost less, because we only receive foreign payment in this manner that is up to $10,000usd by account, sorry but is our policy.



We shall not expect any delay on your transfer again. Your request is agreeable to Tuesday next week.



Regards,

Mr. C Mark.

I know... like I said, I was playing along. The real losers are the ones that realy felt for it. Like I said earlier, I gave them incorect account numbers (I NEVER LET ANYONE KNOW MY ACCOUNT INFORMATION.) As far as a passsport, I never sent a copy of it but they approve for the transfer wich of course this the first sign of a scam


1.) PASSPORT WAS REQUEST BUT NOT SUBMITTED, HOWEVER BANK APPROVES THE TRANSFER REGARDLESS NO ID WAS SENT.

A little detail of the acount being transfered is an escrow account. You go to any bank, I Identification, phot copy of Passport with valid number is a must. Even thought I sent the attached deposit slip to Marck the banker, he did not request or asked about Passport ID.

A little note (Mark and Ting is the same person, I give yo details that exposes them how)

This is awesome!

I've had an email scam like this before. Of course, I didn't eff with them like you are.

Perhaps if you can't send the Money Gram, the bank will accept a 1 karat diamond ring sent by express mail?

2.) DOCUMENTS ARE OBVIOULSY FALSE.

When I got the attachement from both Ting and Mark, I notice something that didin't make sense. 1. Banks would normally need originals docs right?
Heres the deposit slip that Mr Ting send for me to foward to mark ABC Bank.


Notice the Icon of the company?? Africa? I thought this is a bank form china? Also look around the icon of africa, there are lettering around it that has been erased. (lousy job if you ask me) the icon is similare to the Nigeria bank scam couple of years ago? If it were true, the icon should be Agricultural of China like this...

The deposit slip is bogus.

3.) DON'T BE FOOLED BY RECONFIRMING RELATIONSHIPS

At one point of the e-mail communication, I gave him good news regarding that I was able to pay for the transaction. Mr. Ting will send you a message reassuring relations and his (But not really his) passport copy to send you. All though many will think at this point right now, this guy is for real. However even though he has send me his so called passport, a look closer reveal that even the passport is bogus..

Dear Jesse,

Thanks for your mail; I’m very sorry that you couldn’t hear from me over the weekend, I will try to make up thing about my coming, because I believe this fund will be transfer this week. About the passport all Chinese passport is written in our language that is why it look like that ok. As I told you before so far the bank has approved the transfer nothing will hold it, trust me, I told you all thing work with trust, honest, and success, my brother what we both need now is think about what business we can do with this fund, me and my family will come to your country to live and stay for life soon this is done. Please i thing I want to let you know is that you need to keep this transfer in your mind, money is not all that good to announce for such cases. If you hear from you bank and make the payment kindly update the bank to enable us if the fund will be transfer today.

Regards,
Dr. T Yang

I have some questions regarding this transactions that has alerted me just
now.

1. Deposit slips show an icon of Africa? I thougth this deposit slip is from
Agricultural Bank of China which should have the Icon of that company.

2. Your Passport shows some proof editing on your name and photo.

Please acknowledge me that this is for real as I already gave out my bank
account information to Marck C. In the past there are scams like this and I
want to know that this is not one of them. I reasoned my self regarding the
passport. (Maybe was edited becuase names on passport on Chines characters?)

Please reply my e-mail as I stll have hope that this is a eligimate
buisness. I need to reasure that I can trust you now that I did some
homework. I'm still getting the answer from the bank today. Please if you
can call me at 1-***-***-**** to reasure our relations.

Your Freind,

Jessse Oronigo
He admitted that he altered the passport, saying that it's written in Chinese. (Note that foreign passport will have the Naotions language and english together, especialy China, Japan, Korea, ect....

To make a transaction of an escrow account, it must be withdrawn out maybe after three months. The guys here in this scam are clever to use an escrow account to draw people into this get rich scam. Also thier smart becuase in order to withdraw an escrow account, you have to pay the wire fee and it can't be withrawn from that account. Smart. But very deceitful.

Just like the Nigerian E-mail scam, all they want is the money you send to pay through Money Gram or Western Union. Which leads me to the next Exposure

4.)BEWARE OF TRANSACTION REQUEST BY MONEY GRAM OR WESTERNUNION

Why? Simple, you cant trace the person after they pick up the mail. I asked why I can't make payment via wire? Mark from the so called ABC Bank, say they can't recieve it becuase their are a foreign bank. (FALSE). You can make payment to the bank as long as yo provide them three things:

Swiss code (foreing trade number)
Routing Number
Account number

Western Union is the fastest way to send money as long as you fill out the information. However, once a payment is transacted, it can never be recovered. Even if you file wioth Western Union that you have been fraud, there's nothing they can do for you except provide the pick-up list.

They did a Dateline NBC episode on one of these. It was like "To Catch a Predator," but they did it on internet scams. Scams like this one are coming out of Africa. The sad thing is that people actually fall for this. It was funny to watch what they were doing to them. They were making the scam artists go from place to place and then when it looked like they were getting tired they would let them know that they were reporters. Beware of crap like this and please don't fall for it.

Excactly. In fact, this scamer is in China. I guess he was inspired by the ones in Africa. The only reason why I did this is to see if this is the same scenerio that was happening from Africa. And sure enough, it is.

5.) IF IN DOUBT, PLEASE CHECK THE INTERNET, RESEARCH THE BANK IT SELF

I did a little research on Agricultural Bank of China. It's one of the biggest bank in China. But whats interesting is, does anyone check the official web site? Or actual contact numbers? Mostly branches are in Hong Kong. The address that was provide by Ting and Mark di dnot match any address in China. The number I called did not know any english. Wierd.

Is your name Chris Hansen?

Personally, the Chinese business man using a UK yahoo account would've told me it was beyond a scam. But I too have played around with these morons before. If you have ever heard of Bizarre magazine, they had a guy who totally screwed with those guys from Nigeria. He had them send in pictures of them getting tattooed or holding signs. The one I love is there is a guy holding a white sign that says, "I felch wombats for Charlie Manson".

Heh,

I believe this sport is called "scam baiting". It's funnier when you can get the scammer to take funny pictures of themselves (allegedly) doing strange things - wearing a fish on their head, getting tattoos of funny words, etc.

Check out scambait.com and 419eater.com

6.) YOU KNOW IT'S A SCAM IF THE GUY IS PUSHY

Later I was playing with both e-mails from Ting/Mark. Makeing excuses about the wire fee. I even made a logical sense about payin $21.00 to transfer $10000, and later pay the transfer for the remaining balance which makes sense. However, these guy didn't like the idea and insist that I make at least $1000.00 payment first.

First excuse I made was time zone difference from my (imaginary) bank

Hi Mr. C Mark,


I just realize that time zone is differrent between Guam and
Hawaii. It's Tuesday over here but is still Monday over at Hawaii.
I Humbly ask if I can extend till tomorrow (wednesday). Note that
my funds drawn out to pay the wire fee is scheduled on their time
zone. Once I get the funds tranfer to my checking account, I'll
immedialtey transfer the wire fee via Western Union. Please accept
my apologizes for the little comunication.

Best regards
Jesse J Oronigo

Remember I mentioned earlier that I know that Mark and Ting are the same person? Here's the email below. Note that Ting is upset becuase this is been happening over a week and doubts that I have any money. He suspects that he's being played.

Jesse,
I hope you are not playing with my time, what I want to know from you is, the total charges requested from the bank, how can you rise, let tell yourself the truth and see the solution to the problem, dose not let this bank think you are the real owner of this fund.

How much do you have with you?

Dr Ting,

The bank did not approve for my loan. However I'm negotioting right now with
ABC to see if I can get a partial transfer form the Escrow Account. I'm
seeing if I can transfer at least $10000 today becuase the fee to transfer
that amount is affordable ($21.00). Also I mention that once I get the fund
cleared, I'll transfer the rest since I should have enought to pay for the
remaing amount of the transfer. Please let me know if this is okay. Awaiting
for your reply.


Freind,
Jesse

Attn: Mr. Jesse O.,



The bank has no time for any negotiation with you in this juncture; we have given you long time on this matter. The only help the bank will render if you can come up with about $1000, we can make transfer and hold back transfer charges soon.



I hope you proceed on this urgent, because we have no time left.Please send a copy of your passport is needed.



Management,

Jesse,
I’m not happy for this delay and I believe you understand my position, I have discuss with my friend concern this problem, I want you to send the bank $1000usd I will use my friend to send the bank $1000 in your name soon you concern to me that you have made the payment, Please stop asking bank if they could transfer part of the fund, it dose not look real by you bearing the owner of the fund, I will not be happy when you made the bank cancel this transfer.
Get back urgent,
Dr. T Yang



At this point He figured that He was being played, and there was no e-mails from him since.

There's been a site/guy featured on the news and magazines many times for scambaiting...

http://www.thescambaiter.com

Look for a guy by the name of "TheFailure" and click the links to his baits in his sig. I highly recommend the following (they're all long reads but well worth it):

********WARNING*********

It's best to not consume liquid beverages while reading anything on that site. Damage to your keyboards and other computer components are highly likely.

1. Adebola the Animal Seller: TF (The Failue) by somewhere around page 14ish has the scammer take pictures naked, holding sticks of fire, sign around his neck, bucket on his head, and a string attatched to a rock attatched to his "Mr. Happy".

2. ANY of the Anus Laptop baits (mainly the Cole sagas) many broken appliances have been shipped to nigeria on the scammer's dime

There's people who have gotten scammers to do "homosexual" things and snap pics (fyi, homosexuality is HIGHLY frowned upon in Nigeria), and one guy even got some scammer to put on this pen-is cream which he made and had the scammer pay for the shipping... it contained icy hot, habanero sauce (I believe) amongst other ingredients and snap pics.

Many of those pictures are not work safe, but the baits they have going on there are often quite hilarious. Be prepared to spend quite a bit of time there. I've done some baits myself.

There's a lot of resources and tips and TONS of helpful information on that site for scambaiting.
