Your best bet is to leave this journey untaken.  There are way to many scams on credit cards and email accounts coming from Nigeria.  Leave well enough alone and find an american email pal.

These West African get these addresses copy & pasted from a whole variety of free email sites as yahoo, hotmail, msn, etc.\n\nBy experience, I should say, that they surprised me with a letter of a supposed inheritance or lotto won.  All with the trick of getting advance fees from you. I became victim from them and never got the supposed inheritance. Note that they try to seem as real as posssible.\n\nJust Go to yahoo Options, click on filters, and write the clue words that u would find in letters that come from them.\nAlso, I have been forwarding these letters to the FTC at spam@uce.gov & 419.fcd@usss.treas.gov

They are scams! This is known sometimes as the Nigeria Scam cos they tell you things like your distant family died, some high official needs a foreign bank account,etc. People have died in such scams so don't fall for it!!

You are almost right...\nThe "Euro-Afro-Asia Sweepstake Lottery organization" is a real,professional,Euro-Afro-Asia,fuel-injected....scam..\nIf you search for "Euro-Afro-Asia Lottery" (in quotations) on any search engine you can see how much of a scam it is..\n\nLotterys work like this:\n1)10,000 people pay 1 dollar/euro/pound/yen....etc\nThe lottery company now has 10,000\n\n2) the lottery company holds a draw and gives out 7,000 in winnings (and keeps the profit 3,000)\n\nScams work like this:\n-1)nobody pays money (there is no money to win)\n\n0)a scammer sends out 10,000 spam emails to tell people they have won a lottery they havn't entered.(they pretend they work for real lottery websites)\n\n2)The Scammer asks for your Personal details (be prepared! your inbox is going to be full of emails asking for you personally...and dont get me started on what they are gonna do with your Bank details!)\n\n3)The scammer tells you that you have to pay fees before you can accept the "winnings" (and NO,you cant pay out of the winnings! they dont exist!....silly maga)\n\n4)The scammer manages to con 3 people out of 1000 and gives all his profits to a charity for orphaned goats (he dosn't really...he keeps it ;) )\n\n5)Your inbox gets more mails than help@microsoft.com\nEverything from "You have won anotther sooperdooperlottry" to    "CHAN U B A NEXT OF KIN" to "Please join our company,cash our checks,send us the money until your bank realises you are laundering money for us?)\n\nThe moral of the story is...If it sounds too good to be true... It probably is

The famous 419 scam.  You should google this scam.  It's been around for years.  And yes, they even call you.  Crazy people if you ask me.

My former husband worked in Nigeria and these e-mails are indeed fraudulant.  And it seems that there's not much you can do except identify them as spam and keep blocking the address.  Do not send any personal information!!

I really feel insulted because i am a Nigerian. Nigerians arent scammers. its only d helpless ones that dont have money that do it. i dont know why English and American people think so little of Nigeria or Africa!!!!

Well, it sounds like a variant on the Nigerian Scam, but apparently they're branching out into other parts of Africa...  It's a scam, just get rid of it.

Don't even respond to it is scam, and certainly don't give aout any bank information or private informarion to somebody you don't know of. I' had those mails also and i run no bussiness, at first when i used the net, i didn't know better then to open because it was adressed to me in person. I never reacted to it, but in the future if you recieve such notices again, just spam them. Good luck.

In my experience, anything coming out of Nigeria involving money is probably a scam. Fortunately, your English is so atrocious that you won't be able to attract customers.

There's been quite a history of creative internet scams which originated in Nigeria. They've since evolved and globalized. Be wary of any solicitations sounding too good to be true, especially those involving money and sporting a web-base email address. Their English grammar usually leaves a lot to be desired, too.

Do a Google search for the phrase "nigerian bank scam".  The email that you received is one of the most common scams on the  internet.  \n\nSome poor soul passed away, leaving behing millions of dollars and you as the only known heir.  An attorney or some government official wants to get the money out of the country and wants to pay you a percentage.  Suddenly, they need money for transaction fees or bribes.  You send them money and suddenly you never hear from them again.\n\nI get lots of these emails.  Law enforcement doesn't have time to deal with it.  I forward a copy of the email to the abuse department of the ISP were it came from and leave it at that.
