Big Time Scam

WARNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS A SCAM. IF YOU RECEIVE AN EMAIL LIKE THIS OR ONE AS THIS DO NOT REPLY. THEY WANT YOUR BANK INFO. ONCE THEY HAVE IT THEY WILL DRAIN YOUR ACCOUNT.

Dearest one,

I know that my message will come to you as a surprise
since I dont know you in person or met with you before, but I am of the
believe that you would  be obliged to come to my assistance after
hearing about my situation.

I was, until recently, a Medical student
of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka West Africa.Late last year
October  2006, the Rebels in my State Struck our township and killed my
parents  and my only sister in one of their attacks.

My late Father,Sam Mbakwe  being the former Governor of my State was a
prime Target.Fortunately  for me, I was in school when the attack took
place.Before his death he had a foreign account here in Nigeria up to the
tune of $12.5m which  he told the bank was for the importation of some
processing machine.

I want you to do me a favour to receive this
funds to a safe account in  your country or any safer place as his
beneficiary.If you are  interested please let me know for that we can
proceed.

I am waiting to your immediate reply.

Thanks.regards.
James Mbakwe.

    The sad thing is that someone would fall for it. It should be forwarded to the authorities and be traced.

    Thanks for sharing that, but it's surprising that in today's world that anyone would give out there private information, but I know people still fall for stuff like that.

    I've gotten several of these kind of letters in the past. They seem to think I might be more sympathetic because I'm deaf and try that line on me that they are deaf as well. Thanks for sharing this for those that are unaware! (Hugs) Indigo

    I use to get these all the time! People will try and scam others anyway they can. I just pray that everyone who reads it finds it suspicious. I'd hate to think of others really believing this and actually helping that person!
    I guess the best we can do is keep passing this along to friends so that more are aware of this scam.
    Thank you Cindy for taking the time out to post it for others to read.

    HUGS,
