My Dear Friend,

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.Patrick Chan director of
operations of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd. I have a obscured
business suggestion for you of $24,500,000USD.

SEND REPLY TO MY PRIVATE E-MAIL:[email protected]

I will update you with further information as soon as I hear
positively from you.

Regards,

Mr. Patrick Chan

I posted this in another section, but when I saw the name "Patrick Chan" I had to post it again. Definitely a scam.

I just received a check in the amount of $385,000 on a Citibank "Official Check." The emails that I have received fit this scam exactly. Here is the most pertinent info:

Name of Asia company: Matila Manufacturing Pte Ltd
Contact name: Patrick Chan
email: [email protected]
Bank: Citibank
Amount: $385,000
Debtor American Company: Eagle Power Equipment, Attn: Paul Gettel, 2211 N Dupont Hwy., New Castle, DE 19720, tel: 1-302-380-3705

I called the number and told "Paul Gettel" to go F*$@% himself. The real Eagle Power Equipment has never heard of a Matila Manufacturing, although the website looks very real.

Also, the check was mailed to me from Paul Owen, 3310 South Service Road, Burlington, Ontario, Canada, L7N3M6, 289-888-2348

Any thoughts on what to do with the Check (other than tear it up)?

@ arkansaslawyer
If you still have the envelope or packaging the cheque came in, if it was by courier (fedex etc) with their tracking sticker on, take it back to them, and it is possible that they will close the account used to send it from.

If it was by Postal service, and the post mark is clear, the same thing

Other than that, report it to your local Law Enforcement, and also your Bank.

Write FAKE across the cheque if you are going to keep it, and start a collection.
