There are different versions of this fraud. Some offer a "job" where you help to transfer funds, some say you can get a share of lottery winnings by accepting them for someone else, and others claim to be charities. They all set you up to get your bank information, then they steal your money. You'll get these all the time, either in your bulk/spam file or directly into your mailbox. Make sure you click on "spam" so your service will mark the addresses they came from as junk. That's more helpful than just deleting.

i am from south Africa, go to your bank now and let them investigate and if you have to get the police involved, get it out of your account as there are a lot of bad people here that will cause a lot of problems for you that is a scam and i promise you it won't have a happy ending. Go now to the bank

they need your account numbers to scam you out of heaps of money, they say they will put money in but probably take it out.
Just don't give anyone your account numbers, that you don't know.
