edache Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Yeah, my roomate here received this one supposedly from an African woman, basically saying the same, my roomate answered her mail insulting her in it =P, she answered in the most kind and affective manner, urging my roomate to help her, it wasn't until the third time that my roomate answered with insults that she stopped answering the thing.Its just spam… bored people that don't have anything better to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solstice Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 it isn't really a scam, it doesn't say anywhere that they want your details, it's probably just them wanting you to apply for a Visa so they can come and live in england legally, Although, if you had 7.5 million you could buy a visa. the british government would be only to happy to oblige.

Gwen Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Here is a funny website regarding scammershttp://www.419eater.com/html/letters.htmEDIT: God it is a scam. They no longer ask you for your details up front. Once you reply then they start asking you for your information to cover handling costs, and all other kinds of fees and charges.They learned that asking for your information upfront like in the earlier scams isnt working anymore so they changed their tactics… Its still a nigerian scam.
