Hi frankie12,

I have seen many of these too. These guys prey on people who don't know any better.

I would suggest filing a complaint with the Internet Fraud Complaint Center (IFCC).



This site also list other email scams that plague users.

Take care,

Rigel

hey frankie

u probably wont belive this but i have gotten faxes b4 like these...... on my fax machine... i dont kno how these ppl get ur # and email adress

Hi frankie

That is the "Nigerian Letter" scam and it has been around for awhile. If you reply you will be asked for banking information and then it escalates to the point where they want you to send some money to cover the "costs" of transferring this money to you. Needless to say you won't get any money but they will keep after you until you won't give them any more.

A BIG SCAM, it has been going for years, lots from Nigeria JL

thanks for the help. I did send a compliant to the IFCC.
