Hi all just throught I would add this so others dont get caught out well here goes this is what I got on an email today if only it was not a scam:
Hi dearest One
how are you together with your family? it is good writing you today however ,it is neither mandatory nor will I in any manner compel you to go against your will. My name is Carelle Kalou .I am 21 years old, the only daughter and child of (Late) chief Joseph Kalou . ;)
My father was a highly reputable Gold miner in Ivory coast during his days. ;D It is sad to say that he passed away mysteriously during one of his business trips though :'(, his sudden death was linked or rather suspected to have been masterminded by my uncle who travelled with him at that time. >:( but God knows the truth!
My mother died when I was yet a kid :'(,and since then my father took me so special. :) Before his death he called the secretary who accompanied him to the hospital and told him that he has the sum of US$12,500,000 left in one of the leading Bank here in Abidjan, Ivory coast ;D ;D .He further told him that he deposited the money in my name,and finally issued a written instruction to his lawyer whom he said is in possession of all the necessary and legal documents regarding this fund and the bank . I am just 21 years old and a university undergraduate and really don't know what to do. ::)
Now I want an account overseas where I can transfer this money into , this is because I have suffered a lot of set backs as a result of continuous political crisis here in Ivory coast and family problems that made me to run away from my late fathers house and hid myself in a local hotel for the safety of my life from the hand of my wicked uncle that kill my father and some other family members that are after my life because of this money.
The death of My father actually brought sorrow and set back back in to my life. Dearest one, I am in a sincere desire of your urgent assistance in this
regard. dear,your suggestions and ideas will be highly needed, please permit me to tell you what i want you to do for me.
1. you will help me to negotiate for lucrative and legal investment where the money will be wisely invested,as you know that I am just a Little girl and don't have investment knowledge.
2. you will help me to secure a permanent residential permit in your country, for me to come over and continue my education while you will be taken care of the investment that will be set up by you. The most important of all is for you to be a good partner when the money arrives in your country.
I am ready to give you 20% of the total money after the money has been successfully transferred in to your bank account in your country for your assistance and for any expenses that you made during the process of the transfer . Is this offer OK by you?. Please,Consider this and get back to me as soon as possible.
Thank you for being there for me.
Sincerely,
Carelle Kalou

I’m expecting a rather large inheritance (aprox £4,00000000) very soon now and i want to hide it from the tax man so i was thinking that if all the nice guys on this forum would be kind enough pass on to me their personal details along with your bank details i can then deposit this cash into your bank account.
It goes without saying you would be generously rewarded as i intent to give you a percentage.

how could anyone fall for this poop? It's very common, only an idiot would respond, they are known as 419 scams.
If you want a laugh have a look at this site with the 419 scammers being scammed themselves, hilarious, some of them even get tattoos thinking they will be sent money ;D http://www.419eater.com/

I think it is dreadful how you members on here and you know who you are! Can pick a) on a juvenile and b) someone who is obviously of a different race to yours. You should be ashamed of yourselves! Hopefully the moderators on this site will ban you henceforth. If not i will be leaving this forum. I have emailed the poor girl and told her she is most welcome to continue her studies with my family.! >:(

Loads of scams out there, they're just lookin for that one idiot to accept, throw enough mud at the wall, so to speak, some will stick.
Your best bet is not to even open the e-mail. those of you that keep your e-mails on the internet e-mail sites like yahoo and msm are in danger of being spiked (i.e they look in to your inbox) when you open the e-mail, your best bet is to use outlook express or something similar, that way your e-mails are stored in your pc and not on the net.
Watch out for e-mails telling you that you bank detail have been viewed by a third party, it's all bollerks.

re the above link......it was on panorama away last year...the guy that started the scambustin website was so fed up with these emails offering silly money for nothing and always because some poor souls life ended in a plane crash/train crash/earthquake/murdered.....(all the same person by the way)...mmm.....so he decided to turn the tables and have some fun with the scammers.......if you really want a laff.....and even if you havnt had emails from these scammers you will laff your head off...but if like me you get an average of 10 per week and get fed up with them,then you will laff louder. ;D

Is it a scam? Oh dear, now you tell me...........
