Don't give them any of your account info. they will take what money you have in it & you will never here from them again. It's a scam.

Well, this is a very good question has been raised in here. Thanks very much. I think everyone has experience about this mail.
I usually receive 2/3 mail like this in every 1 week. Surprisingly, alla these mails come from Africa! Also i don understand why some one wanna give money for nothing.
Actually what happen, i think there are some international forgery group is draining bank account.
My suggestion, do not provide your bank information by this way. Just delete the mail. Don even think anout getting money for nothing........................

Funny-mine was a poor American girl stranded in Nigeria after her family was killed in a car wreck and she couldn't afford the hospital bill. But at her parents vacation compound was GOLD! Lots of it. If I pay the 5000 to get her out of the hospital, half the gold is mine! What a deal ! Funny, but I hope NO ONE falls for these scams! Too good to be true ? IT IS! Sent from Africa (esp. Nigeria ) SCAM!

That's not a scam. It's a scamy, scamy, scamy, scamy, scamy, scamy, scamy, scam!!
Don't do anything. I recently got a fake check from some asshole and I took it to the FEDS. I hope they catch the jerk. He wanted me to cash the check, keep some of the cash and send him the rest. I guess they hope that the bank teller will screw up and give you the cash. What buffons they are.
Be careful of Africans, especially Nigerians. They scam people more than anyone else. They even scam old couples of their life savings. Don't fall for it.

You might as well take your money and set it on fire.
The email scam is the national criminal cottage industry of Ethiopia.
Please consider cutting off your hands if you are tempted to go down and sign out some money from your bank account.

It's a scam. You give them account details - they drain your account. Simple as that. Why would someone give you money for nothing?

It's just a scam of those who have nothing better to do with their lives. We get them too. Just ignore and hit DELETE.
