Read this!! Who thinks this is a scam and where do I report it?

I have gotten at least three dozen letters...all similar to yours but from supposed lawyers/bankers in Africa...they get your address from yahoo profiles and other sources...used to get upset, now I type a nasty note and send back....it's fun!

Yes it is a scam. One of the "Nigerian" bank scams that the Internet has made so economical. There are task forces throughout the world that fight this type of scam but not much they can do because tracking them is so hard. The best thing you can do is just ignore it and go on with your life. The worst thing you can do is try to make some easy money. If you respond they will take your information, send you some official looking documents and give a phone number for you to contact the firm holding the "assets". Once you contact the "firm" you will be told something like there is a problem with one of the local officials and that you need to post some earnest money to free the "assets". This will be a relatively small sum compared to the money you have been promised, something like a thousand or two. the more you participate the more they soak you for (One bank manager was indicted for using bank assets to fund his try at getting rich quick, he was soaked for over two million dollars) If you have started to run low on money or are getting leary of all the deposits you have made without getting anything in return, they may tell you that it is OK for you to come and meet to finalize the transaction. At this point they may take you hostage and ransom you or just straight out kill you (there have been over 40 deaths attributed to this type of scam) so DON"T DO IT!!!

Scam, Scam, Scam. Even if you watch Oprah, last week, she had a show on (I was recovering from surgery and was at home during the day), telling of stories just like this one. One person was given a money order that looked real, and deposited it into her account. Then she took out another money order and sent it to this person, only to find out a couple of WEEKS later, that the original money order was bogus, and she was out the $5,000 that she had sent. Call the FBI, the Oprah show or website, and there are links of who to contact. DON'T SEND ANY MONEY.

This question is asked over and over on a daily basis on here. It is a scam. I don't understand why people keep falling for these scams with all the info out there about them.

Don't waste your time reporting it, just delete the email and move on. These people are almost impossible to find.

Yeah, that appears like an entire scam. Why would not hubby bypass to a supervisor and tell them approximately what this worker is doing. I mean, she is a facet of it. What makes you sense that she hasn't been the architect of all of it and now she's attempting to scr*w fellow team with this? i've got self belief you, hon. Y'all have have been given to bypass to the law enforcement officials, yet while your hubby would not desire to, then he would desire to, for the secure practices of fellow team bypass to the management of the business enterprise on condition that I assume that this fellow worker is perpetrating this act on business enterprise assets and that they are going to desire to understand reason they might become in dilemma on condition that of her movements too. solid solid fortune!

Lol if she wanted to get the money, she should be able to produce a marriage certificate and death certificate. She wouldnt need anyones help. Very dumb scam. Report it as junk in your malbox, and if its in yahoo, forward it to abuse@yahoo.com and they will deal with it. If its in hotmail, mark it as junk and they will deal with it, and block the sender. I would also reply to the email and tell them to talk you off their mailing list. If they continue sending abusive mail to you in response to your reply, then notify the police (not by 911 though, its not a emergency)

SCAM

i just wish people would disregard all of these type things

if it seems too good to be true........well you know the saying

definitely block the e-mail address, but i'm not sure who you'd report it to

i'm very glad to see you ask this question instead of playing along.
