23rd April 2021 - Advance Fee Fraud Scam

On 23rd April 2021, telephone number +85281917130 was reported as being used by scammers to pretend to be Sebastian Paredes working as Chief Executive Officer for DBS Bank (Hong Kong) Limited using email address dbsb234@gmail.com as part of an Advance Fee Fraud Scam.

In Advance Fee Fraud Scams, the scammer will offer you something of high value (a large sum of money or gold for example) and all you have to do is pay a "small" fee. What the scammer is offering you does not actually exist and the scammer will come up with fee after fee that needs to be paid by the victims, until he either runs out of money or realises that he has been scammed. The scammer will often pretend to be real people or companies, use fake websites and introduce various characters, all with the aim of convincing the victim that what is being offered to him is real.

Here is the email that the scammer sent to his victims.
Dear Friend,

Thanks for your response. I sincerely apologize for intruding into your privacy, especially by contacting you through this means for a business transaction of this magnitude, but I had to do it for the security of the information I want to pass across to you and as such, I want our communication to be basically through email for now. Because of the nefarious act being perpetrated on the internet by individual’s whose only AIM is to reap people off their hard earned money, I have decided to be very careful in selecting a capable partner for this business. PLEASE REPLY ONLY IF INTERESTED.

I am Mr. Sebastian Paredes, Chief Executive Officer, DBS Bank Hong Kong Limited. My client, who died with his wife and only child, made a fixed deposit of $30.5 Million in my branch. From investigations, he did not declare any next of kin so; I need you as a foreigner to act as the next of kin to get this fund for us because the funds will revert to the government of Hong Kong if nobody comes to claim it. My anticipated percentages for sharing shall be fair enough 55% for me, 45% for you. My Attorney will perfect the legal documents. Should you be interested please contact me and I shall provide you with more details of this operation.

Regards,
Sebastian Paredes
Chief Executive Officer
DBS Bank (Hong Kong) Limited
