I received a mail from unknown person saying that they are going to send a bank draft for $2,000,000 and asked the contact details.. i replied to them and they said that they want $350 for fees... isn't a comedy though? Did any of here got the same mail?

This is a scam! Delete it and block the sender and DO NOT give them any details! There are too many of these scam mails in cyber space and none of them are for real. Good luck and happy posting!

I get loads of these, I often read them just to see what angle they are using to try to hook me in. There are too many scams on line these days, its a shame because genuine business people, who really have something decent to offer and want to help, get labeled the same way. Its a tough world.

anyone who wants to give you (why you?) money, especially ridiculously huge amounts, is a scammer. more so if the guy uses a free webmail client to email you.

Well it shouldn't take much to figure that out and where its coming from. Man its coming from a social scammer who has an advantage of the exchange of the dollar against his or her home currency and he is baiting your greed level. $350 in his home currency is probably not much but if you multiply that by let say 10 or more people you get the ideal and he is going to send you an online check for that amount which will get you into trouble at the point of collection. By the way its a real check they got from some dude who would have sent it to them either trying to claim a lottery winning or verifying his account details with his bank (another scam) do you think you have earned the money they are promising you...if not please follow ur heart.
