Have you ever had a email scam?

ive just had one saying PRIVATE AND URGENT.


I am contacting you on business transfer of a huge sum of money from a


deceased account. Though I know that a transaction of this magnitude


will make any one apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring you that


all will be well at the end of the day. We decided to contact you due to


the urgency of this transaction.





PROPOSITION;


We discovered an abandoned sum of (Seven million five hundred thousand


united states dollars) in an account that belongs to one of our foreign


customers who died along with his entire family. Since his death,none of


his next-of-kin or relations has come forward to lay claims for this


money as the heir. We cannot release the fund from his account unless


someone applies for claim as the next-of-kin to the deceased as


indicated in our banking guidelines. Upon this discovery, we now seek


your permission to have you stand as a next of kin to the deceased as


all documentations will be carefully worked out

Reply:Sure. There is the classic scam from a "Prince" in "Nigeria." I did once receive a very good phishing scam from an Ebay imitator. The link to the fake site was so dang good, I almost entered my username and password.





They got reported to Ebay's support, needless to say.
Reply:Yes,once.It's a crock.Just delete it and block the address from where it came.
Reply:I have had several show up in my box. They always have something to do with money overseas. I had one where this person just needed my help to get to his great fortune overseas and the he would supposedly split it with me. One was about taking care of an orphan child and his fortune. Just remember, "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is." Why would they pick you of all of the billions of people in the world to offer this option to, besides even if it were not a scam, it definitely sounds illegal.
Reply:Yes, I just got one this morning...from NIGERIA...


CNN just had a program about this and how these people are treated like movie stars! They think it's such a joke that they can become rich off of stupid Americans...





This is what I received...DON'T respond to them - YAHOO should automatically put these in your SPAM box, but they don't....

Dear Sir/Madam,





I am MR.WILLIAM DURU , the Director of Operations CHASE SECURITY %26amp; TRUST COMPANY (CS%26amp;TC) LTD, LAGOS NIGERIA. Here in NIGERIA Our firm is a security company of high repute with years of outstanding service to the people of Africa. I have resolved to contact you through this medium based on business proposal that will be of mutual benefit to both of us. I got your particulars through a consultant company base on my research for a trustworthy and established person that understands investment ethic for entering into a life time profitable joint partnership investment and also co-operation with confidence and trust that you will keep the contents secret and divulged to any third party. To be explicit and straight to the point. Some time early 2000, a reputable client of ours deposited a consignment in our company\ s vault for safe keeping. And since then our client has failed to come forward to claim his consignment, which has accumulated a considerable amount of money in demurrage. Consequently, in our bide to contact this client to redeem the demurrage which his consignment had accumulated we discovered that our client was the former Nigeria youth and sports minister LATE MR. MARK ISHAYA AKU who died in a plane crash on the 4th of april,2002. Find more details in the BBC NEWS about the plane crash[ http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/... of his benefactors has come forward to claim the consignment with us, which means that non of his relatives or aids had any knowledge of this consignment. Hence out of curiosity I decided to secretly open the two boxes that our client deposited in our vault. And to my surprise I discovered that the two boxes that were registered as treasurer by our client actually contained a considerable amount of money in United States Dollars amounting to about US$21 million Dollar. Since this development I have been nursing plans secretly. I also found out from enquiries and the foreign media that our late client siphoned a lot of money from his position as the youth and sports minister the while he was in office, because he worked under the late SANI ABACHE former military president of Nigeria and the most corrupt governments in the world. It is my conviction that the consignment in our vault was part of the money that our client siphoned and now that he is dead there is no race to this money in our care. I am now soliciting your noble assistance to assist me in transferring this money out of Nigeria to your country for immediate investment with your assistance. I have also decided that you will generously be entitled to 30% of the total amount. Upon my receipt of your reply confirming your willingness to assist me of this transaction, I will immediately arrange and transfer all the rights of ownership of this consignment to your name to facilitate your easy clearance and transfer of the complete funds to your country. You have nothing to worry about, as I will be there to assist you in anyway necessary with all proper documentation. This transaction is 100% risk free. Please maintain absolute confidentiality on this matter. Please reply to the above email address with your telephone and fax so can call you.


Thanks.


Yours faithfully.


MR.WILLIAM DURU
