Hi Libby,
as you should expect, this is a scam. It is commonly known as Phishing. If you were to agree to help this person out, they would eventually tell you that they need your bank account details to lodge the money into. This is usually after some transfer of bogus documents and contracts to and fro...to give the impretion that this is legitimate.
But now that you have handed over your bank account details....well I guess you know what happens next.
Never..ever..ever even reply to these people or unsolicited emails, even if it is to say no. |

These are scams!!!! Don't be greedy or you will loose your own money. Never ever give your bank account or personal information to anybody, most especially to strangers you have never met before.
There are a lot of people who assumes other people's personality
using their personal information such as social insurance number, driver's license number and bank account number.
Good Luck!!! Please be careful!!! |

It`s a scam. If she really wanted you to have all her money she would have sent it to you through Western Union or a bank check. But as soon as you give her your account there goes your money. |

Its called a Nigerian 419 scam. Like hackers, they can get your email address. They sometimes even know which country you are in. They even target high government officials. Always mark their emails as spam and block the sender's email address.
Read about it below. |

That's great you'll be an inheritor of large sum of money...
ask her to prepare the transfer of money to your account,
but wait, you need to pay first thousand of dollars for
documentation, processing and payments to courier...
would you go into this trick??? |

she's trying to get access to your account; and chances are she's not in Africa but somewhere right around the corner. The government of Canada frequently offers warnings about these types of scams which tend to originate with the Russian or Chinese mafias
ignore it and tell them to lose your email address |

DON'T!!!! these are just ways to get money frm u!! once u accept their offer, they'll ask u for ur personal details, and ask u to deposit some money to start the process... and this would continue until u get a lil stern... and finally when u say u cannot deposit anymore, u'll never hear from them ever again!! and all the money u've so far paid is down the drain!! |

Whatever you do DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR BANK DETAILS !!
It's a scam, they just want your bank details. Take the letter to the police so that people that are more gullible & vulnerable than you do not get stung by this scam. Think about it, why would someone who doesn't know you from Adam want you to deposit all that money in to your account. Good for you for recognising it was a scam but there are people out there who are extremely gullible so do something for their sake's. |

I am going to give you some advice. If they have your email address, they may have obtained other information about you from the Internet. Never publish any private information about yourself on the web. These Yahoo Profiles can be quite good sources of information for scam merchants and identity thieves. You should put your name and any other Identities you use into your browser and see what, if any sites, come up. Then change all the details so that you cannot be found.
This scam first started in 1975 and has been very lucrative for many Nigerians, but they feel justified because they prey upon greed. As all other respondents have told you, they want to get access to your bank account. If you send them your bank account number, someone claiming to be from your bank will phone you. The person will sound genuine because they will have your account number. and other details they have scabbed from the internet. Then they will ask for more details such as your date of birth and your mother's maiden name so that they can access your account and transfer money to their own.
I am sure you won't fall for this, but identity theft is a rising crime and one should never publish personal details anywhere. You know, right now, there are hundreds of hackers around the world trying to get into lists of credit card numbers held by companies. Only one needs to be successful to make a fast fortune. Remove all personal information from the Internet or you might become a target for other, less transparent scams. |

I think they just go through generating lots of e-mail addresses either that or they buy a list of them from somewhere. You should say no to your details being handed out to other companies for advertising purposes as you never know where your details are going to go! |

I bet she did not know your name, she had $millions to invest and she was trusting your honesty. How sweet!
It seems that Africa is full of immensely rich people and I wonder why they need aid from other countries. |

Congratualtions, its all genuine.
Be careful, i can process this for you, for your own safety.
Please send me your bank details and me and my Nigerian contact will process it for you.
I guess someone, somewhere must fall for it.
I did find a website not long ago where they string these people along for months, its amazing how these scammers actually think someone has really caught the bait. |
