YOURS  NICHOLA ANDREA BUDHANI've gotten three already, two yesterday, this one today. I love getting this kind of spam, so I'm wondering what I should do with it. Any ideas?

Forward it to the WNBA.  They would be interested in a 6' - 10" woman.

I don't believe they accept Jamaican residents.

dude i got one o them

mine was from africa though

you saying i shoulda sent her the money?

oh yeah i got it like a month ago

Its a 419 :-)

and it seems that some people send them actually money to get millions in return LOL

Its called 419 fraud. The nigerian letters.

I copy this one out of Wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advance-fee_fraud in case some people don't know :-)

An advance-fee fraud is a confidence trick in which the target is persuaded to advance sums of money in the hope of realizing a significantly larger gain.^[1] Among the variations on this type of scam are the Nigerian Letter (also called the 419 fraud, Nigerian scam, Nigerian bank scam, or Nigerian money offer),^[2] the Spanish Prisoner, the black money scam as well as Russian/Ukrainian scam (also widespread, though far less popular than the former). The so-called Russian and Nigerian scams stand for wholly dissimilar organized-crime traditions; they therefore tend to use altogether different breeds of approaches.

Although similar to older scams such as the Spanish Prisoner, the modern 419 scam originated in the early 1980s as the oil-based Nigerian economy declined. Several unemployed university students first used this scam as a means of manipulating business visitors interested in shady deals in the Nigerian oil sector before targeting businessmen in the west, and later the wider population. Scammers in the early-to-mid 1990s targeted companies, sending scam messages via letter,^[3] fax, or Telex.^[4] The spread of e-mail and easy access to e-mail-harvesting software significantly lowered the cost of sending scam letters by using the Internet. In the 2000s, the 419 scam has spurred imitations from other locations in Africa, Philippines, Malaysia, Russia, Australia, Canada, United Kingdom, and the United States.

The number "419" refers to the article of the Nigerian Criminal Code (part of Chapter 38: "Obtaining Property by false pretences; Cheating") dealing with fraud.^[5] The American Dialect Society has traced the term "419 fraud" back to 1992.^[6]

The advance-fee fraud is similar to a much older scam known as the Spanish Prisoner scam^[7] in which the trickster tells the victim that a rich prisoner promised to share treasure with the victim in exchange for money to bribe prison guards. An older version of this scam existed by the end of 18th century, and is called "the Letter From Jerusalem" by Eugène François Vidocq, in his memoirs.^[8]

Insa Nolte, a lecturer of University of Birmingham's African Studies Department, stated that "The availability of e-mail helped to transform a local form of fraud into one of Nigeria's most important export industries."^[9]

Embassies and other organizations warn visitors to various countries about 419. Countries in West Africa with warnings cited include Nigeria,^[7][10]Ghana,^[11][12]Benin,^[13]Côte d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast),^[14]Togo,^[15][16]Senegal^[17] and Burkina Faso.^[18] Countries outside West Africa with 419 warnings cited include South Africa,^[16][19] Spain,^[19] and the Netherlands.^[20]

Please go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advance-fee_fraud to read it all if you are interested.

There was no mention of actually sending any money.

Nathan Paton and houstonlively were being sarcastic.

I have seen many copies and many other variants of this letter, supposedly coming from different parts of the world. It is SPAM and the people sending these letters are committing FRAUD. So if you or anyone else wants to send these people money then send it at your own risk. BUT BE WARNED: You will not receive anything in return. This means you will not get a Check, any Bank transfers, not even an "I owe You". Instead you will get nothing, nada, nix, zip, ... AND once you have sent your money there is nothing you can do to get it back.

Hope that answered your question

I know someone who actually did follow one of these through, cant believe they were so easily sucked in!.

Cant remembers the details of it now, but they were given real names and addresses, as most of these use real ID's and places incase they are checked up on (although not the real people!)

Anyway, it involved my friend sending some sort of clearance fee in order to make the transfer etc... and for some reason they were asked to fly to Amsterdam to deposit the money. They got as far as flying out there etc but somehow it fell through. Think they were asked for more money or something!

Anyway, they ended up paying out a few thousand for nothing....

Kinda stupid really!

But you never know, this one could be legit...

... Why was this bumped?

OMG the amount of mails like this I have received over yrs and even relating to real stories and events  the target can research such as a plane crashing > wiping out family >> leaving potentially millions for whoever to claim !!
