Find answers to your legal question.





I got an email from a guy in s.africa who needs to send me $10M, however he wants me to send $20k first...?

...for administration purposes.

Now he is from the Oil Sector, and that industry does have that kind of money, so do you think I'd be 'covering all my bases' if I just sent half the amount to begin with?

Thanks in advance for your answers.

Send half the amount?? If he's from the oil sector, he must be legit so send him the full $20K and stop being a baby!

This is such an old scam, I'm wondering if you're being a smartie by asking this.

Don't send money. If you believe this, then you're the reason I keep getting these rediculous emails.

No. I think you should send 20k, plus an extra 10 to help speed up the process.

Those are ALWAYS scams! Never reply to them, all that does is confirm to the scammer that you exist!

Certainly sounds like he picked the right administrator.

This is an obvious scam. What bases would you be covering by losing $10K?


Gumby
Send me half instead. At least I'm honest enough to tell you that you will receive nothing on your "investment". But I will send a thank you card.

Sounds like a bad deal - why does he get to keep 9.88 million?

Tell him no deal unless you get at least half.

Or is it that he has diamonds he wants to sell and can send them to u for a fee and u can sell them on his behalf and make millions....................

If you send the money to me, I promise to send you half back, which is 50% more than you will get from your SA contact. You know it makes sense.
