It is a scam. Forward the e-mails to interpol or your local branch of government.

Mine are usually from a cabinet level official from Nigeria.
I had an idea for futures in Nigerian Internet Scams or maybe a mutual fund. Ignore them because if you try to get off a list you will be guaranteed to be placed on a new one.

I get those all the time and you're right they are a big scam!
Look in the e-mail (usually closer to the bottom) There should be a link that will unsubscribe you from getting anymore e-mails from them that you click on. Hope this helped

You and everybody else. And some get through spam filters, although many get stopped that way. There's no real way at this point to stop spam.

Howzit!!!!
Got the same emails too... This is rubbish, it is only from my Yahoo email only.
I would hate to believe that this has something to do with Yahoo... A friend of mine also said he received the same email and now you...
It wastes our time and is a lot of scheisse...

Simple,delete them without opening them. Get a new e-mail address and be careful who you give it to.
