Hi folks,some days back I received an e.mail informing me that some task force at some African Airport had recovered a consignment, having a big amount and gold for me.I was also informed that two agents will bring this consignment to me in my country and that I will have to pay them for their services.Is it also a scam?What should I do?Can any body guide me about it ?? Thanks in advance.

There are lot of such scam emails senders are now on line and never believe such mails. Also don't give any of your personal information to then as they ask, like name ,address,phone number etc,..They will ask the duty or transportation charges etc from us and they will never give anything to us.Also who will send us something from a unknow country or place and what is the need for that? Why can not the sender spend and take the goods themselves? Just delete such mails and don't even read them.

You are right these cheats use all these methods to exploit others.There should be some international authority to control all such scams.

Oh, there are so many of these going around these days. Yes they are scams. Any time they want you to send them money to receive money it's a scam. There are so many variations on this it's not funny. Just delete them unless you belong to spam cop or some such organization. If you do belong to spam cop forward the e mail to them.
