Important: warning to everyone.?

I recieved an e-mail this morning claiming to be from the bank of Africa saying that in the year 2000 a family died in a plane crash and there isn't a next of kin to send 5 million US dollars to and are asking for bank details so that you can make the claim as kin. How many others recieved this. Don't all apply at once, giggle. I took this infomation to the police and there's not alot they can do about this kind of thing so all I'm saying is be careful.

These type of e-mail scams are very prevalent. I have received similar e-mails. Best thing to do is not to open e-mails from senders you do not recognize.

This is a classic scam. I wouldn't fall for it. You'd be surprised at the numbers of people who do though. You'll just end up losing money

I worked in the criminal justice department in the U.K. and this sort of scam and many more like it has duped many innocent people. The best thing to do with any correspondence, emails etc of this nature is to BIN IT IMMEDIATELY. There is no such thing in this world as a 'free ride', unfortunately.

Oh crap. I sent the 5 mill yesterday. That was a scam? :-(

Thanks for the warning. I aint received one yet but will keep an eye out for it. As my mum always used to say- "you don't get owt for nowt in this world" Have a nice day.

Nigeria is the home of the scam industry. It's incredible how many people fall for this stuff.
The next best one is the Irish or Canadian lottery scam, don't laugh people in the U.S. think they've won a foreign lottery they never bought into... Amazing!

Yes I recieved the same email, When I put the sender in check he stopped sending me emails. I asked him for the name of his bank, the city he lived in and the phone numbers where I could call the bank and once this action was put into motion, I wasn't an hier afterall. Imagine that.

I didn't even know I had a family ,maybe I can forward the money to those poor Nigerian Bankers who wanted to put extra oil millions in my joint trust account ten years ago.That might get my dead cat to eat.She is getting a little thin.

This is a scam so delete that mail as it gives nothing to you. It just consumes space from mail database. I also have received the same way back 2004. The mail inform me that I won in lottery but the first thing comes into my mind is that how can I be a winner if I did'nt bet it. It's a scam.

Ignore as we do. Why do you open mails from strangers?

Anyone who actually responds to this and fronts whatever amount of money is required to secure the transfer (or whatever the scheme is) deserves to lose their money.
