truefusion 3 Report post Posted February 19, 2008 A friend of mine had a similar case, where they gave him some far fetched story. What my friend did was reply back with another far fetched story, picking bits and pieces from their story in order to form a similar story as to relate to them. The story my friend got was quite similar, the person claimed to have lost their parents, used to be part of a rich family, and is having trouble claiming their father's inheritance. My friend played along saying that he too was from a rich family and lost everything since his parent's death but has some support. My friend asked for proof of the money, upfront and in cash, with an I.D. of the person. Interestingly enough, they sent him an image of an I.D. to his e-mail, and asked for an image of my friend. It was funny, but the scammer eventually stopped e-mailing him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
heavensounds 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2008 That is a typical scam and believe it or not, it works on quite a few people! They send this email to a lot of people and a few of them actually buy it...as far as i know it is a sort of scam in which you have to transfer some of you money in order to get that AMAZING 7 million But after you transfer that money, BAM noone is there anymore...it is an old type of scam, but very common and widespread, so I'd suggest you to send this email to proper sites which deal with that sort of stuff...

galexcd 0 Report post Posted February 20, 2008 IT'S A TRAP(17)! Yes when I read that first email that you were sent this was what first came to my mind (sans the 17). I thought that putting this guy would be pretty hilarious, but what they are trying to do to you is no laughing matter. Any person you randomly meet on the internet that is asking for your bank account is most likely running some kind of scam. Even if this was legit (which it is not), why would you go through the trouble for this person when they could take advantage of you so easily? Any person that you've never met before that emails you a picture and asks for yours is just asking for trouble. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Saint_Michael 3 Report post Posted February 20, 2008 AHahahaha well first off the very first email you got was already spam before it even started, because which profile did they find you on and how would they know your email address as well? Also another tip is the first name Goodness is a very uncommon name to have especially since the last name is of African/Middle eastern descent as well. Also that second reply s"he" sent you already tells you it is a scam because really who would be on a computer in a refugee camp that would only provide the basics as well? Of course the real big tip off is the phone number, on top of that fact she wants you to move $7.5 Million dollars, which begs the question why would a complete stranger ask you to move that much money? Simply enough they want your account information so they can steal your money and that answers your question of what would they do to your account. Of course really why would someone in Africa have money in Europe besides dictors and those kind of people? No one, and on top of that if she has all this money why is she in a refugee camp? I won't even go through the bad english either because it is there, and like everyone has mention it is a SCAM and SCAM need to be placed in SPAM!! These Nigerian scams have been going on for at least 10 years now, and knowing how yahoo profiling system works they wouldn't be able to get your email anyways. So do what is suggest and tell s"he" to find another sucker to steal money from. As mentioned in a previous post some people are duped in given these strangers their person info and junk, and so listen to us SHE IS FAKE! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
