Can anyone assist this woman?
Dear Beloved,
Due to the sudden death of my husband General Abacha the former head of
state of Nigeria in June 1998, I have been thrown into a state of hopelessness by the present administration.I have lost confidence with
anybody within my country.I got your contacts through personal research,and had to reach you through this medium. I will give you more details when you reply.
Due to security network placed on my daily affairs I cant visit the embassy
so that is why I have contacted you. My husband deposited $12.6million
dollars with a security firm abroad whose name is witheld for now till we
communicate. I will be happy if you can receive this funds for safe keeping till we meet and I assure you a very good percent of this fund if you can assist me I will instruct my son to contact you so please feel free to comunicate with my son.
I await your urgent response,
Hajia Mariam.

Yep – the Nigerian scams have been going for YEARS, with assorted twists. They all involve you fronting up a bit of cash in return for a huge haul. The amazing thing is that there are still people who haven’t heard of these things, and there are still people who fall for them.

My father was stupid enough to actually reply to the message as he was new to the net.
He was sent birth certificates, photos and solicitor letters etc. But i told him to just ignore them from now on and they’ve now stopped. These people are professionals.

I’ve also had at least 20 of these Nigerian emails which tell you a story with a tragic twist.
Another popular one is for someone claiming to be from Nigeria wanting to purchase a car that you might be selling on the Internet. We were selling a car last year and had a Nigerian guy contact us. He wanted to buy the car and take it all the way back to Nigeria! Yeah right! Luckily, he was expecting a cheque for £11,000 from one of his chums and wanted to give it to us, then we could give him the difference on another cheque. Needless to say, this Nigerian bloke’s cheque would always bounce. We didn’t fall for it, but a few others had.
Another thing, always look at the sender of the emails. They claim to be in Nigeria, but always tend to have a Yahoo email address registered in Germany or Italy or somewhere – unlikely.

Will the Nigerian people get this money back if we forward it to the Nigerian embassy?;) – Nermal

I have had a dozen or so of these types of e-mail recently, one of which actually had the name and address of a South African bank on it, I contacted the bank and forwarded the email on, I suggest just deleting them and ignoring them.
