would give me 40% to let him transfer this into my account.
Has anyone else been contacted in a scam like this?

A new location for the scam. And I almost would trust it. When pigs fly...
Always remember any deal that seems to be too good to be true. Is ALWAYS too good to be true.

there are lots of scams like this. Consumer affairs advise "if it's too good to be true its a scam or not the truth ie a lie " --- 40% now that is unbeleivable. There are a lot of these going around to catch the unwary or the hopeful. Never give your banking details to anyone. Even if the bank contacts you ! What can happen is that your account can be cleared out sometime in the future !

Take her to the zoo!! You only have to pay to get in then you can spend all day there looking at all the wonderful animals, and who doesn't love animals? Do your research in advance and make a note of any special events in the day like the feeding time for the tigers etc. Make it a surprise too - tell her you're going on a mystery tour and end up at the zoo. It all depends though on what she's interested in, like if she's interested in art then you could take her round an art gallery or a museum or an old stately home & gardens. Just to be in each others company enjoying things together doesn't cost much and I think that's what she's aiming at. Good Luck :o) Hope you have a great day

Scam!!!
------------------------------------------
To Avoid scams here is what i tell people...
All spam emails/unsolicited phone calls/letters and faxes are scams.
As a general rule - ANYTHING involving Western Union/money gram = Scam.
my Advice: Don't deal with anyone from a foreign country or Accept checks from strangers and never use wire/bank transfer services.. you risk losing your $$ and your mind.
Any checks/Money Order/Correspondences From /Nigeria/Ghana/Africa is Always a scam!!!
Remember, if it sounds too good
to be true, it probably is! Ignore all Correspondences From /Nigeria/Ghana/Africa!!! NEVER give out your personal information to strangers online or offline! Always be on guard.

Yes I get them all the time. Just ignore it. I know someone who fell for something similar and was scammed out of thousands of dollars and he is supposedly a bright person.

Yeah, but in the email I got, the gentleman was from Nigeria. I forwarded it to Yahoo and otherwise ignored it.
