i recieved an email from an unknown individual supposedly wanting to give me 25% of the account amount fore his aid in moving a multi-million dollar south african bank account which has been inactive for many years. it was a scam of course, and i sent it to the trash. however, i have recieved a second email which thanks me for my assistance, but whiich states that his partner, now in a west african bank will send me a 5% intl bank draft of the amount from the original amount. in the first mail he wanted personal and bank info to do the transfer, in the second a postal address and name so he could send the draft to me. he claimed it was all legal. i wonder if anyone has ever had such a "windfall of a million dollar fee " for dpoing nothing. have you heard of this kind of scam before, and how the rest works out? please, no dumb comments, just a simple explanation of how the rest of the scam works. it seems kinda like fun.
