Answer 1

Its probably a scam so dont respond to it.

Answer 2

How does a fraudster go about getting personal data of people? On the internet "identity theft" is common.

There are numerous internet scams from people claiming to be senior bank officers in African banks and representatives/fiduciary agents of lotteries. Many of these email letters want the recipient to provide personal information (name, passport number, tel/fax, bank account number etc) in order to get the fictitious fund from banks or prize money from lotteries - the banks and the type of lottery may be real but these emails are clearly scam mails - "phishing" for personal data.

Normally these scammers get email addresses of people who log on to adult content websites; spywares would then be activated whereby info can be retrieved.

Most of these emails come from Africa - Nigeria, Ghana, Ivory Coast et al; and from the UK. It would be best to report scam mail (address below) and never ever give out any personal information. Be advised also that banks do not send email to customers nor do lottery boards.

It's an old scam. Steer clear and delete. If you keep getting the messages, you can report them to the FBI (in the U.S.)... one certain thing is that the person doesn't work for a bank. But they do want your money.

Answer 5

This is just another flavor of an old scam. Just delete the messages. At one time the Secret Service was investigating these, but they stopped due to overload and insufficient manpower and resources.
