I'm not sure you can do anything about it since it is an international affair. Maybe just block her address. It is most definitely a scam. I get these all of the time. |

It is a scam and she will later ask you to send her a check before hers clears. Than her check will bounce. This is known as a Nigerian scammer. They are over sees and the police wont do anything.
You could say OK and then give her a bunch of fake info and just mess with her assuming of course she has no idea who you really are |

I've only read about 4 lines of your question. PLEASE go straight to the police with any info you have - let them deal with it. It is a massive scam and the police are aware of this type of scam. Oh please go now please. See the police don't wait. Don't give her your birth date, account number, anything at all. There was a programme on tv regarding this type of scam - it has been going on for years. They steal your identity, they take money from YOU, please go to the police. Scotland yard are the best to see. |

Just delete these messages and as the others have said block that E-mail address if it continues. usually just ignoring and deleting does the trick, however answering just encourages them. |

I actually struck up a conversation with one of those guys. Just because theyve got your email address it doesnt mean they know any other thing about you.
This guy wanted me to give him my bank account details because he was involved in some sort of scam ripping off the equivalent of the ministry of defence in The Congo or some other African country, which is where he said he was emailing from. Really bad broken English, but he managed to make his point. Anyway, you can get your mail server to print a full header containing all of the detailed routing information that arrives with the incoming email. Including the originating internet IP address (in case you dont know, this is a unique ID given to each piece of equipment attached to the internet, so the information knows where its supposed to go- it looks like 4 numbers seperated by dots, and you sometimes see them in Internet Explorer as it loads pages from far away file servers, e.g 127.1.23.1). Anyway, a more computer savvy mate of mine traced the originating IP, no idea how he did it, presumably there are registries of them on the web.
Turned out my man was emailing from an Internet Cafe in west London, and my mate managed to get a full address. Not sure the cops would approve of what I did, but I'll bet if you could provide them with as much as that they'd be really very interested..
Maybe you should have some fun with this chick. Please see this website-

Just ignore it. Do not provide any information about yourself. The whole point is to convince you through various stories that you are going to receive some money, then you are supposed to provide information about your checking account and then they will try and issue a draft against your account. Do not even reply to the emails as that just confirms for them that your email address is active. |

Delete the emails!!! Do not respond to them..do not give them any of your information. They are, in fact, scams... I've spent the past several years working in a business brokerage company. I see dozens of these emails every single day.....I pray you have not given them any of your info, aka bank info, home phone...please don't. You'll be regrettful. Block these emails, delete, whatever it takes...Reporting them to the police really won't do much good...these are such common emails. If you've given over bank info...contact your bank IMMEDIATELY!!!! You've been scammed. Your local bank branch manager should be able to assist you from being a victim of a scam or identity theft. |

Ignore it and run away from it as fast as you can. |

There is not much you can do because it is another country.
I would just tell her that the FBI has contacted you about the transaction already and you would not like her to contact you anymore.
And may a thousand sand fleas invade your home. |

Ignore the emails and as someone has said block them. |

Forward it to scams@fraudinternational.com Also notify her isp and the FBI. They need to catch her before she steals money from people who don't know any better. |

I get one of those emails every day. It is a SCAM and it seems Nigeria's greatest export. Just press the scam button on Yahoo and delete it.
They are trying to get your name and bank a/c no. and then they will send a forged banker's draft against it and clear you out.
Some people play tricks with them, eg give them false information, but it is a dangerous game because these people are dangerous ruthless criminals. |

It's one of the oldest internet scams. Whatever you do, do not give them your details and do not get in touch with them for they may become dangerous, at least that's what I've read. Apart from that, I don't think there's much you can really do - ignore them and delete them. Don't reply. |
