Yawn! Another Attorney Scam-mail with Webpage for Effect
Here's yet another example of a scam-the-attorney email. I guess you can call me a collector.
Crudely conceived email. Its properties:
from Rising Sun
reply-to WLung@aggies.com
to sunr35@yahoo.com
date Wed, Nov 5, 2008 at 11:54 PM
subject Your Service Needed (Attorney at Law)
mailed-by yahoo.com
signed-by yahoo.com
The From and To are identical. In other words, mass email. Here's the text
Rising Sun (HK) Limited
7/F The Grande Building
398 Kwun Tong Road
Hong Kong
Phone/fax: (852)3010-1786
Attention: Counsel,
We the management of Rising Sun Industrial, Hong Kong require your legal representation for our North American Customers. We are of the opinion that the ability to consolidate payments from North America will eradicate delays due to inter-continental monetary transaction between Asia and North America.
We understand that a proper Attorney Client Retainer will provide the necessary authorization and we are most inclined to commence talks as soon as possible. Your consideration of our request is highly anticipated and we look forward to your prompt response request.
Sincerely,
William Lung Chin
Not addressed to me personally. But -- google the phone number and you get a complete webpage for the Rising Sun company. DO NOT go to that webpage. I was able to view a cached version through the google search, but the original may be a phishing site.
