I (and many others) receive these types of letters frequently by post and by email.  I just delete the emails without reading them if they are from someone I do not know.  The ones that I receive through the post however, I keep the envelope and stuff it full of advertising flyers which come in magazines etc. When the envelope is fairly heavy I then post it back to them without a stamp on it making sure that none of my personal details are included.

Here are some signs someone is conning you:\n\n1. They are offering you a ridiculously large sum of money: if someone would offer you a large sum, why over e-mail?\n\n2. They are asking for your bank account number. If anyone wishes to transfer money to your account, they wouldn't ask for your bank account number in such an unstable medium such as e-mail.\n\n3.  You don't know them and they are giving you money. Would you give money to strangers over e-mail?\n\n4. They are asking for a small payment in return for a larger one. This is common in scholarship scams.\n\n5. You don't know them and you have no real ties to them, yet they want to make business with you (for example: you're an engineer, they are supposedly in real estate.)\n\n6. Any e-mail asking on a first-message basis for any sort of donation or personal info is most likely a hoax for your money.\nHope these helped!

Thats almost certainly a scam. Its a common scam where people say "oh your reletive has left you lots of money, please send some money to cover xyz costs or give us your bank details"\n\nNever give out your personal details from unsolicited emails like that. Just delete it.

You are attacked by fraud people.They  stole your identification like name, address,bank account number and more.It may be from lottery company as they pretend or related to property.They ask for Notary fees which they have to pay to authority to transfer the part of money to your account.I received similar mail from Nigeria.They use yahoo id, which does not go to bulk folder usually. So you can report to spam by clicking on'spam' in inbox.

Good God.  This is another Nigerian scam.  They are going to want your name and mailing address, and depending on what kind of scam they are trying to pull off are either going to send you a fake money order to cash and/or are going to ask you to wire transfer money via Western Union.  This guy is a scammer and wants to steal your money.  I play games with these clowns all the time, and make them chase after fake money transfers and string them along until I get sick of their stupidity.  if you want to mess with them, never give them your real name or any other real personal information.  Everything about these jokers is fake. Be warned.

You can block her out. Report her as often as possible. She is obviously a scam artist, will get hers eventually.

Contact your local government consumer affairs. Or if you don't have one, contact the state attorney's office. They are eager to crack down on any scam.

Yes it is defo a scam. I bet he says it's from someone who has deceased and he needs a next of kin( which is you). He will say that you don't need to send any money to him as he's accounted for that and all admin costs etc. Then when you are getting really keen he will say he needs money from you to cover your registration fees as you are a foreigner. Then he will say your cheque is waiting and he needs you to send him some money to cover insurance of the money etc.\nIf you pass this up, you will probably hear from him in a month or two, saying he is doing really well and to thank you for you effort he has given an accountant some money for you. Then they will ask for you to send him money to release your money etc. Bla Bla Bla.\nLook at his email he sent you then look at the time it was sent, go to this site http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/ and look at roughly what country he is in. \nSometime they will say they are in Spain and the time on the Email says it's from Johannesburg.\nEither way no-one gives someone they don't know free money. If you get any other emails promising this sort of thing Delete them immediately and don't open them. If you need any further help please visit my site.  www.bakerinvestigations.co.uk

DON"T DO IT AND DELETE IT FAST!!!! I fell for one of those scams, and they sent me fraudulant money orders and now I have to pay back the money I got from the money orders beacuse they were fake $3900. Don't mess with these ims or emails because they are based out of Nigeria and there is nothing in-state authorities can do about it because it is a foreign country. Don't do it, it's not worth the trouble you can get in.

YOU ARE BEING SCAM GIRL!!!!!!!\n\nhttp://www.letusreason.org/Current35.htm\n\nScams from Nigeria\n\nSomething you need to be aware of are email letters sent from Nigeria (usually from Lagos). They are written with a story about a millionaire who wants to deposit millions to help your ministry.  I have been asked by a number of ministries if these letters are legit, no-they are not. It seems that Nigeria has gained a reputation for these scams and other sorted stories to make money off religion.\n\n The Nigerian money-laundering scam is not new, it began before the Internet. You get a letter, explaining how some deposed leader (usually he was from Nigeria) left his homeland with much cash and needs to deposit it in a bank. By allowing him to use your bank account to deposit the funds, you get a certain percentage of what they have, but it is really what they want from you, because they have nothing to give!\n\nNowadays, for Christians they send a email saying they converted from Islam and have a lot of cash they want to give to a ministry for the Lord. It starts off saying something like this -I was a Moslem or a retired military top officer in the Nigerian Army. The letter may have a heading of Confidential or Top Secret or some other eye catching phrase. In it they write that they sold all the properties after someone's death, or gained a great inheritance and are looking to invest  into God's work as instructed by the owner, is $10,000,000.00 (Ten million US dollars). Some will say I was able to divert up to $45,000,000.00 (Forty Five million U.S Dollars, into my personal Bank Account, hoping to invest the money when I’m retired. They may even mention the International Bank and give you a phone number. Of course they need you bank account number. Don’t give it to them, don’t even entertain these liars even if they say there is an urgency for this transaction. These email letters are NOT legit, and if you look in the code in the back you can usually tell where it was sent, this should be reported.  \n\nWhat these scammers want is your banking info, when they get it there will be a withdrawal, not from their account but yours.  Imagine someone who does not know you wanting to deposit over 10-30 million dollars in your account. That's better than the lottery, you didn't have to buy a ticket. I get at least 4-8 of these letters a week. What I do when and if I answer them (most are trashed or reported) is I trade letters for fun. I send each solicitation letter to the other person and tell them to work it out among themselves. However, they should be reported to the FBI or other agencies that cover these matters. \n\nThere are a number of sites that are on top of these scams and others and should be referred before you do anything  www.hoaxbusters.ciac.org,    www.truthorfiction.com., and www.urbanlegends.com

Never heard of them. If you got an email asking for personal details or saying a relative has left you money, or that you are owed money from a lottery win or anything like that, and they need you to send a deposit or release fee or need you bank details... ITS A SCAM. Delete the mail.

First of all did you even enter this Lottery?? If not then its a scam if you answer it the next thing they will want your bank account details so they can transfer the so called winnings into your bank But the only that will happen is they will steal all the money from your account. Don't even answer the letter cause that will confirm your details and the scammers can do many fraudlent things with YOUR identity.\nP S its proberly a Nigerian money transfer scam

be carful dont give any of your vital information.  it could be scam.  if they request your bank account so they can transfer the money or anything else like that, dont do it. ask them for a check instead.  after talking with them, you will know if it is a scam or not

Delete all foreign lottery emails and throw away foreign lottery faxes and letters cause they are ALL scams.  +\n\n\nPlease be EXTREMELY WARY of offers by distant strangers to send you a high value (but counterfeit) cashier's check/USPS Money order, and then have you wire the balance to them.  Banks will cash these counterfeit checks/USPS Money orders, but then hold you responsible for the funds when the check fails to clear!
