Answer 1

Report this to your email provider as spam! This is why I only use yahoo email, they put all of it in a neat folder for me to delete with the click of a button. Yahoo does a very good job of keeping up with the scam mail and keeping most of it out of your in box. Hats off to yahoo. I keep my other emails private and only use them for business and family. Good luck!

I received one of those a while back from Spain. I was curious to see where it would lead so I responded. They sent me all the paperwork and told me I needed to send them a copy of the first page of my passport, etc. They gave me a phone number so I called them a few times to see who would answer and what they would say. They made themselves sound extremely official, although once they almost gave themselves away when someone in the room started having a yelling fight with another person in the room.
They said that to remit the some they required a certain percentage of the winnings. I asked them why they couldn't just deduct their percentage from the winnings. Their response was that the winnings were in the form of a check written out to me therefore they could not touch it. I asked them to send me an address, and they did. Once I had an address, I took everything over to the Spanish Embassy. The attache informed me it was a common scam and assured me that the police would be on their tails. It was all quite exciting actually and I enjoyed the game.

We are also living with the menace. The so-called "419" scam is a type of fraud dominated by criminals from Nigeria and other countries in Africa. Victims of the scam are promised a large amount of money, such as a lottery prize, inheritance, money sitting in some bank account, etc.

Victims never receive this non-existent fortune but are tricked into sending their money to the criminals, who remain anonymous. They hide their real identity and location by using fake names and fake postal addresses as well as communicating via anonymous free email accounts and mobile phones.

Report the email to the abuse department of the domain used by the scammer (see abuse contact list). Normally you get the email address of the abuse department by changing the left hand side of the scam email address to the word abuse. For example, if the mail originates from [e-mail] then write to [e-mail], if it's [e-mail] then write to [e-mail], etc. Please quote the full text of the mail including message headers (in Outlook Express you get the full message source via Ctrl+F3; use cut+paste to insert that into your email). Even more important than sender addresses are contact addressed in the message body, such as "claims agents" of fake lotteries. Make sure you report these to the matching abuse department too.

Answer 4

Hi!,
I Feel The same way.Seriously do not do this,because I noticed That they wanted you to give them your DRIVERS LICENS NUMBER.DO NOT DO That,one because,people can steal your Idenity,with that.May I also add,I got one of these Emails and I contacted one of the phone numbers that was on my email that I got,and I also contacted the police.The person Who's number was on that email I got,I told them that Ive reported that to the police,and they said,they had nothing to do with that email.

So Now,I have to go to court with that idiotic person,because they want to lie and say they had NOTHING to do with that mail,in which they knew they did.

So What I reccomend to you,Is to just contact one of those numbers on that email,and tell them that you dont want to be involved in that in any way.And if they lie about,contact the police.

HOPE THIS HELPS
