I'm no financial wizard, I'm better at math. I know what's going on here though. "Patrick John Grattan" of "HSBC Funds" wants you to accept "investor refunds" in your bank account, keep ten percent of it as your "pay," and then wire the rest to him by Western Union, in cash, of course. The checks and money orders appear to be good because the paper itself is good, but your bank will be unable to cash them. You will then be left on the hook for the cash you wired.

AuthorMy name is Gary, and I live in the Midwestern United States. This site is intended to expose the frauds and scams that are so pervasive on the internet, especially today. One hundred per- cent of the e-mails you get that promise you millions are never, ever real. They'll tell you they're "dying," trying to gain your sympathy. They're not dying, they're lying. Click Here for the "Dying" scams. Don't fall for it, and never send them any money, no matter what they tell you. Oh, and good luck hacking this website. It's got a nice strong password on it.
