I got one of those spam scam emails and instead of ignoring it I replied. I know Jackie replied to one so I might as well do it myself also. Surprisingly, this is the first time I got it from a “Chinese” person.
Here is the email from Hu Chengzhong:

Dear Friend,
My name is Hu Chengzhong and i am an artist and the owner of DELIX GROUP of COMPANY Ltd in China. I sell my products to my customers in U.S.A,Canada and Uk which i find it very difficult in recieving my payments from them in the past as they have requested to pay through a direct wire transfer into a home equity line of credit account. I have had a lot of experiences in the past when they were paying through checks and money orders.
I have resolved these issues with them that they cannot make payments via checks and money orders any longer. We now accepted that all payments should be made by swift wire transfer into a home equity line of credit account in the United Sates. They requested all payments to be made into “A Home Equity Line of Credit Account”.Why they requested for such account is that the funds will be more secured into such account and the IRS will never question any amount of money coming in or going out of the account. I need you to be my representative in the United States if you own such account. I will offer you 5% of any of my payment that passed through your home equity line of credit account. You will never invest any money at the course of this transaction.
This transaction is 100% legal and does not relate to money laundering and is free from Drug money. The amount of money depends on the volume of facilities sold which ranges from $500,000.00 and above depending on the limit of your account. I will detail you as soon as i hear from you.I will forward a copy of my identification to you as we progress with this transaction. Please do not forget to provide your direct telephone number so i can also give you a call.

NOTE: YOU WILL NOT PAY OUT ANY MONEY FROM YOUR POCKET TILL THE END OF THE TRANSACTION

This is my reply to his email:
Hello yellow brother!
I am also a Chinese man myself living in the United States that is America. I would like to ask you what kind of employment and artistry you are working for because as a hard working Chinese person, I find that being an artist in any country can be a big struggle.
My honorable brother, how do you do it? How must a person like myself be like you, a person who can make so much money by selling products to US, Canadian and British consumers.
Are you a Communist? If so, I would like to join your Communist group of cohorts. I would like equality amongst us and build a unified nation of people who share the same ideas and love as our once glorious leader, Mao Zedong.
My half sister (literally she was cut in half because of the 1.5 child per family rule in the Motherland) would like to help you in wiring this money and whatever we can do to help we would do it! We will fight for our glory and back the Chinese regime! We will be the strong nation that we once were and we will follow the ongoing Communism rules of our past grateful leaders! Whatever you need, brother, I will help! Power to the people! Any information that is need please contact me back once again. I will keep this between you, me and my upper-bodied sister. Good night, brother…
