It's a scam. Stay far away and report the letter to your ISP if there is a way to do so. There was even a report on this on Dateline a few weeks back. I'm sure they will be running it over and over again on MSNBC whenever they aren't running news shows.
They are trying to get your personal information so they can set up accounts and credit cards in your name. They will then run those accounts up to the limit, disappear, and the creditors will try to hold you liable for the debt. They may not succeed (dependling on how good your expensive lawyer is) but it will ruin your credit history and keep you from being able to make most transactions for a long long time. What they are suggesting is unethical and very illegal in the first place. They only need a few people out of the millions they try this on. Don't be one of them.
Give them whatever they want.isn't all of that money worth it?
talk to your local prosecutor and take a copy of the letter and let him check it out for you. maybe it is your lucky day but better to make sure.
Its called a 519 scam. You should definitely respond and make arrangements for receiving the money.
Don't worry, he'll eventually get around to asking you for money.
That's a very old scam.
Give them the information right away.
It's a scam. Look it up on the internet. Everyone I know has received that same e-mail.
call a lawyer tell him exactly what the guy said he will let you know if its a scam ,maybe its not ..truth be told if u are next of kin why does he get anything?
I get 20 or 30 a day. Sometimes I respond back by pasting the contents of one as the reply to another. Other times, I furnish them with the non-emergency number of my local police department as my contact number. It is a scam, which is why they are usually delivered into your spam folder.
I hope you are not serious. These Nigerian scams have been going around the internet for years. It is a scam, there is no money. You will give them your bank account to put the money in and then they will empty your bank account.
That is a scam. They send that letter to everyone.
It is a scam. My husband is a computer tech and he's encountered this quite a bit. Just delete the email and move on, or you could report it as a malicious email.
Its a scam! Send all of your money to me and I'll keep it safe for you until they stop e-mailing you!
are u nigerian? if not...it's obvious it's a scam, otherwise why would a black dude u've never met be handing over millions to some random white guy 1000's of miles away?!!?!?
He probably believes he saw the word "sucker" written on your forehead. It is a scam and sooner or later he will con you out of your money if you ever respond.
Forward it to ABUSE at your ISP.
Scam scam scam scam scam! There are a lot of these scams coming out of Nigeria right now. Send the letter to your state's Attorney General.
It's a scam..google Nigerian money scams.
