The day I changed my e-mail to Yahoo I started recieving notices that I have won the British lottery(at least 25 times, I am benificiary for untold millions from many dead relatives I didn't know I had. The only stipulation is that I be honest and share the booty 50/50 or 40/60 depending on the bank worker.
I had my bank account cancelled when I brought a cheque in to them to see if it was real.I asked them to
verify the cheque,that I would not do anything until they had oked the cheque but because it was fraud my account was cancelled.
Another scam not mentioned is the collect money for my company and tras ship 90% to head quarters
or where ever else they say, usually Nigeria.The big problem is the money order or gram are very good fakes. The first ones I recieved were from Wal-Mart .I went to the local store to have them looked at and they told me they were very good quality fakes but the missed on three different places.The next ones I recieved were postal money orders which I brought to the post office and of course they were fake.
I have kept all the e-mails in a folder and have them available if they would help the authorities.
By the way the lotteries all use the hook of having to have the money sent by courier at a cost of 500 to 600 british pound sterling that has to be paid first. I was told how can you be broke your over 50,and I said it's not hard on a pension.
