OOOh, I got another"New" Scam Winning email
Dear Sir/Madam,

We need agents to receive payment for our textiles( in money orders,check or bank wire transfers) and to resend the money to us via Money Gram or Western Union Money Transfer.This way we will save money because of tax decreasing.
The international money transfer tax for legal entities (companies) in
UK is 25%, whereas for the individual it is only 7%.There is no sense
for us to work this way, while tax for international money transfer
made by a private individual is 7% .

If you are interested please provide me with the
following information:
1.Full Name.
2.Full Contact addresses.
3.Phone and Fax number.
4.Date of Birth.
5.Year of Working Experience.
Get back to me with the information and your application will be processed and we will get back to you.
Please follow the link below to contact me for further
information and directives:
Dr Hupun Chu


Yours sincerely,
Dr Hupun Chu,
Co-Ordinator.
HANSON TEXTILES LIMITED.

1. Here is one of the letters I usually send to those crooks. Feel free to use it.
Dear Sir,

I send salutations from my country, the sovereign nation of Antarctica.

Now that I have carefully read your email, I cannot express to you the sheer scale of my incredulity.

I instantly considered your intentions to be criminal.

This is indeed a miracle. You actually chose little old me out of all the hundreds of millions of the world's other suckers.

However, I must respectfully decline your very kind offer, as I am already deliriously rich, due to my being an Internet tycoon.

I visited your beautiful country recently. I'm probably mistaken, but I am sure I saw your name on a wanted poster.

Anyway, I was so excited, I went out and purchased four oil refineries.

Now, I have just had a wonderful thought. Perhaps I could be of more assistance to YOUR fellow scammers and crooks.

Listen: Why not simply provide me with all YOUR details (including bank account numbers, PIN numbers, etc.) and I will deposit heaps of lovely money into your account? There is no need for references, as I trust you implicitly. After all, you obviously have faith and trust in me.

Yours ever sincerely
Dr B.S. Hit

2. Forward it on to the FTC?
Maybe forward that email to the Federal Trade Commission?

While there is a Hansons Textiles Limited in the UK, there is no Dr Hupun Chu that I could find by google searching a little bit.

You could also forward the email to the Hansons Textiles company. Could be they need the alert about this.
Here's their contact link:
