A girl has e-mailed me that, her dad has died in a plane crash leaving millions of dollars lying in a bank and she wants me to write to the said bank that I am her late dad's next kin, so that the bank transfer all that money to my account abroad! Can this be a true or she's a scammer? Why she's doing this? what will she gain from me doing so?

Well, she is probably a he.....maybe a Nigerian...but definitely a scammer. Basically, you will call/email the "bank" or a "lawyer" and advise them that you are next of kin. You will then be told that to process your request, you will have to pay some relatively small amount of money...$100 - $200 just to get the paperwork started. After that payment clears and the "paperwork" at the "bank/lawyer" starts, they will probably notify you again that they need additional funds to open an account or something like that; maybe another small amount, but seeing as you're foolish enough to send the first payment; they'll probably go bigger...5 - 10K. Once they get that.....you'll most likely never hear from them again....unless they think they can take you for even more $$.

scammers........

don't reply on that e-mail.

they might start a court process and after all will get rich because of your money.

that is very new and popular trap.

VERY IMPORTANT:
if you've already replied, I suggest you to print out the e-mail with all the info, time and dates. then copy and paste the e-mail to the word document and save it on some sort of memory stick or a flash disc. keep all that in the place nobody knows about.
they will scan your computer and even your bank account # if you will reply to them alot.

If they e-mail you once more, do not even think to open the message. However, if you open it, print it off again and copy it to that same flash card or memory stick. Do not get rid of the copies even after 10 years if you've made a deal with them and agreed to help them.

be aware of that kind of scam.
DO NOT GET IN CONTACT WITH THEM.

There has been court a year ago
The guy had to pay half a million from his own pocket to the scammers.

He lost the process because could not prove the existence of the e-mail, which was very similar to the one you've got.

Hope that will guide you to make the wright decision.

THIS IS A SCAM!!!!!! If you look closer into the e-mail, it will probably have a link where you enter your personal information, possibly including your bank account number ("So they can send the funds straight to your account") This is a scam to obtain personal information, the first step in identity theft.

It's called the Nigerian scam. They get information which gives them access to your bank account. Then they drain it, and leave you holding the bag. If it was real, they could just set up a new trust account in your name and put all that money in it.

It is a scame, I'm sorry. There are many e-mail that are sent from around the world, saying something similar. Dont fall for it. What dose she have to gain? It's your money, some kind of way she will talk you in to sending her money to seal the deal. That is why she is writing you. good luck

Bob, no matter how many times you ask this question, the answers will not change - you are being scammed! Quit holding out hope that you may actually gain something from this scam.

uumm...if it sounds too good to be true it usually is. A friend of mine received several of these emails...Basically they usually ask u for personal contact information and eventually money to start the "transfer". So yeah.....SCAM!

Possibly your bank account # and some personal info, so she can rip you off. Just mark it as spam and ignore it.

This has SCAM written all over it. Don't do it! She (or he) will clean out your bank account.
