I sure have been going along and asking questions. It seems fishy. Is the person only trying to steal my identity? He continues to ask for my account number and that the funds will be transferred.

the only funds that will be transferred will be the ones from your account to him. do not give him any personal info-ss # etc or there you will soon have a twin running around having a good time on your account. it is a scam

Be careful!!! Don't go for it!!! There was a special on the nbew the other day. Man #1 was selling a motorcycle on ebay for $1800. Man #2 claiming to be all big and bad wanted to but was from over seas. #2 was sending 3k extra for the bike. Said #1 can cash the check that was being sent and send it back to #2 so he could purchase the bike. #1 cashed the checked, sent the money, and got a call from the bank the next day saying the check was bogus and had to return the money. This was after the money was sent to #2. Anyway everything was fake. The name, address, phone, and email for #2. #1 Have to pay back all the money for the bogus check. SO DON"T DO IT!!!!!!

C'mon now Evil! You're not going to fall for that 'we have found a zillion dollars after the king's family was destroyed' and we cannot find an heir or any known relatives and therefore, out of the billions of people in this world we found you and thought you would be the best person to give this money to, of course we will take only a small percentage but you will be blessed by all the saints and your bank balance will grow to over a million'.....
the only thing that will happen it that your bank balance will drop to zero, or below zero if you're not careful
send the emails on to the police and cc your 'money friend'

(-:. "There is no free lunch." Start asking your person for some information -- snail mail address, HIS account number, etc. etc. Then turn it all over to the police. If you are feeling *very* vengeful, string him along, take up a lot of time and make him spend a lot of time taking care of you before refusing. But this also uses up a lot of your time. Perhaps the best thing to do is to block his/her address on your e-mail program.

dont give out any informaion, because more than likely this is a scam. They want your money. I would not go along with this if you have any questions about this then call the law in your town and see what they can tell you.

Be like my neighbor and lose your life's savings. These letters and emails are all over the United States and i'm sure elsewhere. Take the letters back to your post office, delete the emails. Getting something for nothing, are you?? Think about it.

this is scam he did it to me too since you believe him he will ask you to send him just 50$ to ensure something or for what reason after you send him he will disappear ... they work few years now and from the ivory beach in Africa if you can find an authority to inform this guy I guess there are few people who been robed by him already .. they can track him down from his IP but this is for the Interpol because it is international crime section Good luck and don't believe everything they tell you.

From Nigeria maybe?
It is not illegal in many countries for criminals to scam the citizens of other countries.
If it sounds to good to be true, it usually is.
