I got one of those last month - from someplace in Canada, although the bank in question was in Idaho or North Dakota or someplace like that. It is a "snail mail" version of those emails that go around trying to convince you that you've won the Irish Lottery or something. I did some research online and this is a fraud. And since it was sent through the mail, it is actually mail fraud. The website I read said that I should take the letter to my postmaster and report it - but I've been too lazy to do that. The post office is closed by the time I get home, and only open till noon on Saturdays. I feel bad though for those, especially the elderly, who buy into this. The letter I received actually said I was to send the entire $4grand or whatever it was back to them to pay for "administrative costs". Yea, right. And in the meantime, they get my banking information from the check I send them and they can steal my identity!

The names and information have been replaced and could have bring about catastrophe for my chum. don't be fooled by utilising ordinary funds.

This is a scam. Have you ever heard of a legitimate lottery asking for you to send money back?

If you do it, you will be out 2950.00. They send you a bogus document, that looks real. You won't find out it is a fake until it is to late. I know a couple of people who fell for it. They got scammed.

This is a pfishing scam. They want your bank account number and promise great riches.
You cannot believe the number of relatives of mine who have died in car accidents in Nigeria. All I have to do is give my bank account number and I am the sole heir of millions of dollars.
If it sounds too good to be true, it is.
