I recieved an e-mail this morning claiming to be from the bank of Africa saying that in the year 2000 a family died in a plane crash and there isn't a next of kin to send 5 million US dollars to and are asking for bank details so that you can make the claim as kin. How many others recieved this. Don't all apply at once, giggle. I took this infomation to the police and there's not alot they can do about this kind of thing so all I'm saying is be careful.

This is the first time you have recieved a Nigerian 419'r !!, they are common place nearly always a sad story with big rewards to entice you, another scam is asking you to verify your Bank details, in all honesty you would have to be a real idiot to fall for them but they only need a very minute amount of people to fall for it for it to be worth there while

This is a variation of what is called "The Nigerian Scam". Its been going around for years, and is big problem because people make the mistake of forgetting that "if it sounds too good to be true it probably is" and wind up sending these criminals their hard earned cash, which they will never see again.

It's a scam. I get those too. Pay no attention. Don't reply either, because that'll active a worm for more spam.

Don't give you bank details to anyone except legitimate companies via your computer.

I've received this one at least 20 times, not surprisingly I've never replied.

Please remember NEVER open unsolicited e.mails
No bank would ever ask you for A/C details.
If something seems too good to be true ,then it -is.
