I have received this message today:

Dearest One.

You will be surprise to receive this mail from a total stranger like

Our late father Christen died and left us and our mother Gloria and my younger brother Frank Christen my name is Ain Christen. I am 21years old why my younger brother Frank is 18years old.Mylate father Christen owns many companies before he died which he left for my mother Mrs Gloria Christen. Within a year of my fathers death, my Mother Mrs. Gloria Christen was killed by Rebels of R.U.F, after my mother was killed my fathers lawyer called I and my younger brother and hand over my late fathers documents to us. after my fathers lawyer have handed over the documents to me, my uncle started demanding for the documents of my late fathers wealth.I now called my fathers lawyer, he came and told my uncle that my father made a will that all his properties belongs to his children. After my fathers lawyer have made that statement my uncle started fighting against us to an extend he went and arranged for hired killers to kill I and my
younger brother.

The first time they came to our home when I wasn't around, my younger brother Frank was shot and two of our security men was killed also before the police men came, they had escaped, that made us to park out of the compound we thought it will be over that way but it continue happening, that makes us to stop going to school and we movedout from our country to Burkina Faso.

Because we are afraid let something not happen to us in school premises, That is the reason why we contacted you as an honest person so that you can help us in transferring my late fathers money into your bank account.

Google "Nigerian Fraud Scam." That should be enough of an answer, but to save you the time, go to your email provider and report a scam attempt. gMail among others have options to report scams/phishing attempts, so do so - this is a scam pure and simple.

I cant believe anyone would buy in it to this, and the thing is, ive read articles of people that have :-(

the internet makes me sad sometimes :-(

 

[stesouthby]

its common sense that its a scam what every you see on the internet don't take it as the truth look into it and question it and when it comes to money make sure you know 100% what your doing with no doubts

 

[cybercool10]

Its a Spam IMO :|

 

[Smith6612]

Nope. I run along a rule of thumb of don't trust offers through e-mail. This is a Nigerian scam. One of my honeypots will get spam bombed with messages like this typically once or twice a week.

By the way, post up the full headers to that message. It'll help for future reference

 

[Danielx386]

No, I won't trust it. Anyone who send me that would get their head copped off.

I heard on a radio station show called the "Idiot Files" (Title fits into the story) some guy with 10 million dollars fell into this scam (He already had 10 million fudhjakj dollars! How much more does he need) and sent his information to this man/woman. They took all of his money and he couldn't do anything about it. LOL. Sucks for that man.

I get many trying to stereotype Christians as very good people and wouldn't harm a fly so we should give them our bank info. No joke. Too bad I am Atheist.

 

[pg.security]

Its a scam simple

 

[jordy26]

I got this same email along with a couple others the other week lol. Its a COMPLETE scam, bloody ***holes trying to trick us. I did reply however saying "OMG YES WHAT DETAILS DO YOU NEED SO I CAN GET MY MONEY?" for a laugh and they ofcourse asked for bank details, passport copys and stuff haha

In general, don't trust emails from strangers, especially when money is involved. Also, when in doubt, Google it.
(You should use Google because it's the best search engine [JK you can use whatever search you want to])

 

[goldblue]

I dont even bother to read these kind of emails. Let alone trusting it.

 

[ShadowmasterX]

There are so many scams out there that anything can be a scam. Even if it is true, there is no proof that its legit becaues no body falls for it anymore. The interent has been soo misused that trust is something that is lacking from interent people

 

[newtown11]

Why should I bother answering?

Of COURSE it's a scam.
