They said they are in trouble because their countries are in civil war or rebellion.Some of them are in the refugee camps.They told me that they have plenty of money and mostly their account are in Europe.They said they will give me some percentage of their money and transfer into my account.I am a bit curious, it is true?

Sounds like a scam to me. You call them friends. Have you known them personally for at least five years. If not they are aquaintances at best, and certainly not friends. They are trying to emty your bank account. Ignore them, and block any firtyher messages. I get this sort of stuff everyday, from people I've never even met.

How long have you known them? Which countries are they from? Ask your bank if they can find out if the people actually have bank accounts. It might be true, but there have been so many hoaxes and scams lately, that your only real hope is to find out what your bank thinks. Don't do anything until you know. There are desperate people, and then there are cons. Unless you have known them for a while, you have no way of knowing which is which.,

That sounds like a scam. There were similar scams during the summer - some people were told there would be up to 2 million euro transferred, and they would get something like €50000 for allowing the money into their account.
As soon as they handed over account details, their accounts were cleared out.
If your "friends" have accounts in Europe, there's no reason they can't transfer their money there.

If they really are friends of yours then you would already know the truth of their situation and the truth of their statements - the fact that you say 'some foreign friends ....they said ....they told me ....they said ......is it true?'..... tells me they are not really friends but acquaintances you have met via the internet or email .......
this tells me you don't really know anything about them and they have worked out that through your trusting and naiive personality - they can use you to their advantage ..... this usually means fleecing your bank account: after all you would need to tell them where you have put 'their money' - wouldn't you???
Please, please do yourself a favour and not be so gullible - although you made a right move by asking us here on ASK ....so maybe you're not so gullible after all?.....
DON'T DO ANYTHING FOR THEM AND DON'T HAVE ANY FURTHER COMMUNICATION WITH THEM.

Hey! Western Union or Money Gram are your options. It is very easy to do and at most convenience stores. They have it in Bermuda also. It is almost instant but give it a few hours, they should send at all times of the day including Saturday and Sunday. Good luck!

just lie down and then get a friend to use a funnel to pour it down one ear.....if it does'nt come out the other side there may still be hope, otherwise join the Foreign Legion

DON'T DO IT! This is usually a scam to get your bank account details.
Even if it is genuine there are very strict laws now covering money laundering - stay well clear of this!

Sorry luv you have been conned or scammed or whatever you wish to call it. I strongly recommend that you close your account and never ever give out your private information again NEVER. There is no telling what kind of damage they can do to your credit, They can get credit cards in your name and who know what else a passport a driver license, who really knows just close that account Now. And I would report this information to the F.B.I. And your local credit department. NOW and tell your Bank so that they can stop all future transactions Now please.........................................

Do NOT get involved in any way - these schemes are either money laundering schemes which are illegal or scams to get your bank details & clean you out of your hard earned cash.
Ignore all such emails & don't feel sorry for them, they are making it up
