Telephone number +85281914829 is being used as part of an Advance Fee Fraud Scam by someone claiming to be "Seng Cheong" and using the email address cheong1967seng@outlook.com. The telephone number is included in the following Advance Fee Fraud email that is being sent to victims:
Dear [Redacted],

I am Seng Cheong, Attorney at law. A deceased client of mine that bears
the same last name as yours, died as the result of a heart-related
condition due to covid-19 on March 12th 2020.

I am getting in touch with you in respect of the portfolio investment
of my late client deposited in the bank. i am contacting you independently
so, i would therefore request that you keep the content of this mail
confidential and other information that you may come across during the
process. More details will be provided upon your reply.

Best regards
Seng Cheong
Phone number:+852 8191 4829
The email was sent from the email address "Seng Cheong <cheong1967seng@outlook.com>"

The email is a classic example of an Advance Fee Fraud Scam with promises of a large sum of money being transferred to the victim. Anyone responding to it will be told that there is a fee/tax/insurance payment to be paid to receive the money. This will be followed by payment after payment until the victim runs out of money or realises that they are being scammed.
