Definetly a scam. First of all, you don't even know the person. Second, this is coming from a foreign country (most likely from Africa where there are suspected terrorists using such scheme). Third, banks or lawyers or any financial institutions do not ask for bank accounts or any personal information through email. In most cases, that foreign country doesn't even have a government or a local bank. |

Hold onto your wallet - that email is complete balderdash. Welcome to the club. You have a good nose for detecting junk emails and dead animals.
To paraphrase the saying: if you smell a rat, there's an excellent chance you'll find one.
For other emails that you think are scams, check with your state Attorney General (www.ag.ca.gov for California), or other federal agencies: US Federal Trade Commission (www.ftc.gov); FBI (www.fbi.gov)
Also, check with Snopes.com -- they are very reliable at investigating urban legends and chain letters sent by email. |

Everyone gets that letter or some variation of it. The ones who respond and their money are soon parted. |

It's a total scam...never answer these emails...next thing you know, they will be asking for some.."up-front" monies to defer the legal costs. |

Oh, come on, this is the first email like this you've seen? They're scams, and most people have gotten several. I get maybe one a month. |

One of several dozen, perhaps hundreds of variations of these types of scams, they've been around now for DECADES. Apparently someone makes money on this.
I probably don't have to tell you: NEVER EVER give personal info out, Social Security #, Bank acct #. Credit card, anything!!!
I'd suggest you don't even respond as these people seem to stoop to ANYTHING!! |

This is an 'advance fee' scam.
Basically, if you contact this person, you will be asked for a never ending list of last minute payments. You have to fill in a government application, and send $200. You have to hire a special attorney, that takes another $1000. You have to appear in an office in Africa, or have someone appear in your place for $500. The bottom line is that the excuses and the things you have to send money for will continue for as long as you are willing to send money. |

scam - nothing so blatant. I get those 12 to 20 times a week.
Don't waste your time, you're better off playing the local lottery. |
