A couple of months ago I wrote about a business proposal I got from a Taiwan Business Bank. Apparently there's $44.5m USD sitting in a dormant account and the account holder is dead. They can't find a living relative, so Mr. Hsu is willing to let me pose as the relative to the deceased client in position to receive the $44.5m USD.
I thought it would be funny that day to write an entry as if I believed the email and was excitedly taking Mr. Hsu up on his generous offer. I just assumed everyone would assume I was savvy enough not to fall for such an obvious scam and that you too would find amusement in my celebratory entry.
Since I wrote that entry I've received dozens of notes from concerned netizens alerting me to the fact it's a scam. The best is when people try to point out the flaws in logic as proof it can't be real.
The purpose of this entry is to assure everyone that I didn't actually fall for Ching-Hua Hsu, Executive Vice President, Head Auditor Wealth Management Division of Taiwan business Bank, Taiwan's little ploy.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have someone willing to sell me his Bre-X stocks for mere pennies on the dollar. I really am going to be rich!
