OMG, what?
1. There is no such person named Dr. whatever in Africa.
2. You are involved in a typical scam.
3. Never respond to unsolicited emails, esp involving money or sound too good to be true.
4. What will happen is this:
(a) You will lose $210.00
(b) You will give out your bank info to a total stranger in a foreign county and you will have no recourse.
(c) These scams often draft a reverse wire transfer of all funds out of your bank account, and you account is wiped clean, and no one will reimburse you.
(d) Your identity is stolen, then you are really F'd spending years trying to fix your credit that the foreign criminals screwed you when you gave them your personal info. |

Please! Do you even have to ask? These types of scams are widely known - all you have to do is a search on the internet. Don't give it any consideration at all! |

dont do it. If you didnt inquire about a loan in the first place and they just sent you an email out of the blue, then its a scam. |

How did this person find you? This is another email scam. Never do business with someone that contacts you without you first contacting them. Never do business solely thru email with people or businesses you cannot confirm exist.
Here is the scam. You will get a check. You will be instructed to put the check in your account and then send back some sort of processing fee or something to the guy. You send off the money and then later you find out that the check that he gave you was bad. The bank will want its money back from you. You will be legally bound to give the money back to the bank. In the end you will not get any money but instead have to pay out of your own pocket the money that you sent to the guy.
On top of that, don't be surprised if the guy asks for certain information from you like your SSN and birthdate and stuff like that. You will then get your ID stolen.
Another version involves you giving them access to your bank account which they drain or use for illegal purposes. That worst part about that is that you could be bugged by various investigative agencies for years because of the scams someone else is doing.
To make matters worse, the scammers share information with each other. If one scores a rube then the others will know about it. Expect to get hit from all angles with all sorts of scams. They even have a scam where they pretend they are INTERPOL or some other police organization and want your help catching the scammer. They then get you to give them more bank information or stuff like that or to get you to do the scam again while making you think that you are protected by the police from losing money this time.
Once you fall into their trap you will find that all sorts of misery await you. |

Not I, but my office gets faxes every once in a while for us to provide a loan for well over 10 times the amount of that from some missionaries or doctors or something in Africa. Weird. |

I'm Dr. Peter's accountant. It's only legit if you send me the money. |

No, that's the most common scam going around. If you give him $210 not only will you never see the $7000, he'll know that he's found a sucker and he'll keep asking for money. |
|
I`m not mean, your just a sissy
|
it`s a classic internet scam. |

I know Dr Samuel Peters well - he cured me of cancer. Quite an upstanding citizen, if he offers you a loan then it must be legit. |
