lol =D ANother nigeria scam.. This had happened so many times in singapore, and i cant believe that those scammers over there are so creative now.. lol =D They even managed to make use to a scam, to scam ple of their money.. haha
I believe this is entirely untruth, and imagine just 526 ple, entitled to $1000,000.00 each?? That's a whole lot of money, and if it's mentioned worldwide, it's members should be more than that.. lol =D
So it's definitely a scam.. haha

It is funny but also sad. There are some victims that are so desperate they will become victims of this as well. I should hope that we are all smarter than this but in this poor economy people are so desperate they fall for these scams.

I get these scam emails all the time, I just delete them. I think its so sad, that these scammers are preying on people at the time when our economy is low, and people are trying to find ways to make more money, and there are people that believe it and are getting taken advantage of.

It is clearly a scam, I recieved numerous letters /emails such as this one. And take note of the address. Nigeria, UK and sometimes the Netherlands ar where scam letters come from. They talk about variuos scenarios, they must be creative writers to be able to create several scenarios, but these are all scams, In the US alone many were taken for a ride, After giving some amount , they disappeared and you ccan no longer claim your money. They will ask some amount to open your bank account supposedly, look at the personal data they ar asking from you. and notice how they wanted it to be a scret. Don't fall for that scam. Run away as fast as you can.

I get this to. Not certain where they get the email addresses from. Another sad and pathetic attempt to get money. I hope people use their common sense when they get these and not send them any information. I usually report these.

Often wonder about the email addresses but they do not need an email, there's a spamming system that does not require emails I'm sure... maybe sending to all users on a certain domain or something

Oh, sweet irony! The sad part is, even though most of us understand that any kind of "offer" originating in Nigeria is a scam, it must be worth it to them to keep trying. There must be enough gullible people out there for this to be profitable!

That' true, there must be some really gullible people for it to keep going on...
though 1 in a million is enough to call it a success
