Recently, my inbox is full of emails that coming from Nigeria, So. African. Everyone of them representing that they are Millionaires, and that they needs partners who could help them either invest their money or sponsor them to US. and they would split that money, all mentions worth from 5 millions USD to 18.5 millions. Can you imagine one just become Millionair over night because they’re have your adderss…?
I responded to few and at results they asked me to pay fees for a packet that they claimed has money in it…luckly i didn’t fall for it, but my inbox still jamed up with this type of schems.
Someone please tell me, if it’s a scams that’s going on in the Internet…?
Weird that i have to pay somethig i don’t even know if there anything in it…
they are the scum at the bottom of the barrell.DO NOT send them any info. they will use the info you GIVE them to scam somebody else. My sister got scammed by them, and they even sent people to her house looking to collect on the money that the other people got scammed with. they have had this on the news numerous times, but they can’t do anything about it.
reminder….DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY INFO ABOUT YOU!!!

All emails from Nigeria and UK claiming money for you for free is scam, do not respond to them, don’t do anything. there is also a government website that you can forward them to, do a search on i think its 419 scams or 409 scams, one of those.

There has been a great deal of publicity recently about these email scams. If you have time and are in the USA you can report them on the FBI’s website.

Yes its a scam.
You can resolve this problem if the person emailing you is one person by marking it as spam or every time you go to check your mail you will see over the delete button theirs a view all option.click that and select messages from unknown senders.
then check all and mark as spam

It happened to me too. After some process like sending a scan of my id ( am from ethiopia ) and my address, They asked me to send them some money to process the release of the funds. Then I stopped because I come to understand that it was a scam after making searches about scams on google. It is even known by the name the "Nigerian scam"
I also happened to see the nbc special presentation on this case. That show even revealed that a us congress man was decieved for that scam and lost some money. It is a scam and don’t respond.
