It seems to be the old classic Nigerian 419 scam where you are promised a share of a LOT of money but where you are actually ruppsed off. I've had these sent to me over the last several years, just simply read them, have a laugh and straight into the trash can. Don't be tempted as there have been many stories of people falling victim to this.
I heard somewhere on the TV that the average person who gets scammed gets robbed of an average of £12,000 so PLEASE be careful. jabbajabba 419'ners.
These have been floating around for a while - there are some guys who bate them for fun and some have actually managed to scam money out of the scammers themselves :)
They caused me unknown hassle on eBay - i was trying to sell a psp and the twats kept bidding up to a £1000 pounds - after the auction ended i would get an email from someone saying they were due to die soon and wanted to give this gift to their grandson in small village somewhere in Africa and would i take western union transfer:roll:
And have read of this if you want a laugh;
