It's a scam. Tell them to leave you alone. Nigerians are they?

Erghh I would be a little concearned here, do you know this person? and do you know them well? If so and you know where the money has come from, Go to your bank and discuss with the Branch Manager. When a large sum of money or exessive cash is paid into any UK bank account, that could look a bit suspisious, or not normal transaction history for the account, the Fraud departments will be notified.... you dont want to get yourself in Big Trouble for Money Laundering etc???? also why cant the person concearned open a UK bank account? why do they need to use yours? I worked for a Bank years ago....! Make sure you know what you are getting into!

Unless you know this person personally (not having just swapped a few emails) I would be cautious.... It sounds a bit too much like those money laundering emails that people get as spam. These can be potentially very dangerous, with some foreigner having access to your money and cleaning you out... If it is legitimate, go to your bank, and they should be able to help you. Just NEVER give someone you don't know, or can't check out, your bank details. I may sound like a killjoy, but it can't hurt to be cautious.

You run like mad in the opposite direction. It's a CON!!!
Do you really think that some stranger would choose you at random and trust you with 5m?
Do you really think that someone with 5m would need to do this kind of thing?
Do you really think that someone with 5m would not have a good bank account?
This is a common scam do not fall for it!!!

Don't reply to idiot get rich quick scam e-mails :)
Or are you trying to scam someone here into giving you their bank details because you only have 'Basic' bank account...
Sorry if that is harsh, but this scam has been on the TV news and has been all over the internet for years... how could you possibly fall for it or even worse, try and scam someone here?

I know it's tempting, but PLEASE don't give them any bank details. This is a well known scam. You'll never see any money and the perpetrators will have got all the details they need to steal from your bank account.
You should either bin the email, or contact your local police who will probably ask you to forward it to their fraud squad. Most people just bin these emails, but I think we should all do everything we can to get these parasites caught. They try to exploit people like you who don't have a lot of money. They are the lowest of the low. Please don't play their game.

It's a scam....ignore them
You will be asked for admin money to sort out the transfer which will keep going up until you refuse to pay any more and then they disappear.
It was on Watchdog a few weeks ago. Some people fell for it to the extent that one old lady spent her life savings and then I think she died of the stress of it all.
You don't get "money for nothing" - - - -

This is a scam for definate. I get emails like this nearly every other day from all different people. They usually send from a hotmail address and ask you to reply to a Yahoo address. Also, if it were for real, and they did work for a big bank in Nigeria or whatever lie they told you, there email address would surely not be hotmail or yahoo. Please dont reply to any of their emails and put them straight into your junk folder!

It is a scam and once they have details of your account they will empty it of all your money. Ignore it and do not answer but tell your bank and the police.

The best thing to do is ask them for a 1% advance on the money to cover any unforseen fees - that should get rid of this nigerian scam artist.
