the following was sent to me and I thought many of you might need to see what these scammers say when you answer.Dear Sir,
I've recently been receiving correspondance from a
gentleman in Togo-Africa who states that he wants to
present me to his bank as next-of-kin to a man I've
never heard of and will be awarded a large sum of
money in return.
I am sending several emails to you following this one
to give you an example of what's been going on. He
sent a picture of himself in one and I was wondering
if it would be of interest or importance to you. It
will be the email posted "PHOTO".
I'm embarrassed to say that for a little while I went
along with this. I went so far as opening a separate
bank account (empty of course) and faxing "The Bank"
this account number. I'm not an idiot, but recently,
you wouldn't know that from my actions. Hey, $9
million dollars is an awful lot of money being offered
100% risk free. I thought, what the heck....let's see
where this goes. Then I got kinda carried away. What
kind of trouble can I foresee as a result of my
stupidity? The account is now closed. I don't know
what he can get from me anyway....I'm basically
rob-proof (no money honey).
Please get back to me if you can. Any advice or
information you can give me would be extraordinarily
appreciated. Thank you for your time sir. I hope you
have a Merry Christmas.
God bless,
CWThis is the first emailATTN DEAR FRIEND.....Cheri
