i ken this doesnt have anything to do with HS. But i just felt the need to tell everyone about this obvious scam going about. or at least i think its a scam....

i got an email today from one Miss Bintou Shaban Samir. telling me about her father now dead. and mostly telling me about his money problems, well her problems with his money. turns out that he died with over five million in an Islamic bank in west Africa.

The jest of this is, she wants me to claim next of kin. and have the money transfered to an account in my name.... she will give me thirty percent.

Wow i thought, thats alot of money.... until i was reminded of a good friend of mine saying he has received three seperate emails about the same kind of deal... some rich guy died and they need help getting the money.

i would like to report this to the proper government officials, so if any of you fellows knows where i can do that please let me know.

till then. later days........ Aaron/

This has been a common email scam for at least 10 years. There are many variations.

Well that's just great. I've replied to several dozen of these, now I find out I'm an idiot.

Or perhaps just an idiot for replying to a thread that's several years old.

I've already spent my inheritance and waiting to hear from my next of kin in Nigeria.
 
I'm thinking I should actually move to Africa to be there for them.....and save them all these unnecessary hoops we have to jump through to get some chump change.
