Delete it quickly. Do not waste your time. These people are trying to extort money from you. Do not be fooled. A friend of mine responded and ended up traveling to Switzerland, emptying her bank account and coming home with nothing.

They send those fake messages all of the time. Just delete them.

I will not do what they says, thanks. I will delete it quickely.

I got lots of it actually and if I have kept all those emails I could be a billionaire already in here. lol I have heard all sorts of stories from lotto winner, a banker looking for investor/partner for a certain fund restricted, looking for an heir who can claim an account of a dead account holder and many other similar stories.

The first time I heard about this, I tried responding only to know that they would require you to send some money to them so they can process the money they would send you. At that point I never followed them sending me. I told them if I have that much money then they just removed the fees they are asking from me. From then on they stopped emailing me. I think they are just plain crooks trying to lure you from getting greedy like they are.


myLot reputation of 80/100. kanukrishna (182)   ranked 5,012 out of 15,098 in internet  3 months ago

yeah,

You are right they wanted my help to transeffer the amount in my bank account and also they gave me the their bank e-mail address and phone number too.

But I did not get any action yet.
Because It really seems scam..

Thank for your response


myLot reputation of 88/100. rsa101 (7341)   ranked 301 out of 15,098 in internet  3 months ago

Yes, the first time I received such letter, I complied hoping they were true indeed, but later I realized that they are conning me as they require me to pay them fees although small in amount but then is a bit substantial already where if they have the money they could easily deduct the small amount they were asking me. Or they could just send the money then I'll pay them later once the money was in my hands. But they insisted I pay them first which i did not comply with them.


myLot reputation of 80/100. kanukrishna (182)   ranked 5,012 out of 15,098 in internet  3 months ago

yeah,
Even my story is also same as you,
I respond their e-mail then they again email me from the bank (from other email adress), and ask me for come to nigeria within three days. And for any reason you can not come to the nigeria please contact to our agent to transseffer the amount in your account,
they gave me agent's email address and phone number also....
Well after contacting the agent he asked for money to make power of attorney or etc..

Then I come to kow about this scam.....

But It was Interesting also....
Thanks for your response..

It has happened and my first reaction was to delete the mail.

I have not applied to any lottery with my email and I'd only do so with a trustworthy group, so, if regardless of this I'm getting an email from an unknown source claiming this it's clearly a scam.

Of course, people who have no common sense and have greed jumping out of their eyes quickly get swayed by this and screwed, but little can be done for those people. Even if they are educated on the matter they'll still think "Just now it won't hurt.", later results being terrible.


myLot reputation of 80/100. kanukrishna (182)   ranked 5,012 out of 15,098 in internet  3 months ago

yes,

Exactly, I was thinking that when i did not applied for any lottery then how can I win this....

After some time I reallize that Its may be a pure scam and a processure to make money on internet with fraudness...

thanks for your response...

I get lots of those kinds of spam emails, even one who says that he's a relative of someone who died and left lots of money and want to deposit it to my account. What I do is that I ignore these emails because I don't even know who they are and I don't remember joining any online contest (because I really don't). Be careful of these kinds of emails, don't fall for these schemes.


myLot reputation of 80/100. kanukrishna (182)   ranked 5,012 out of 15,098 in internet  3 months ago

yes,

I just recieved this type of email, and It is well known that,

In todays era our relatives are not faithfull about money, someone who lives so far from you and do not know who are you, how can send the money and that is about to millions...

Its so funny

I have got such mails..in the past. Delete it without opening them, as they can be very dangerous. So of these mails attack ur address book as soon as u open them. So watch out and never ever give any personal information on the internet.


myLot reputation of 80/100. kanukrishna (182)   ranked 5,012 out of 15,098 in internet  3 months ago

Well, I do not think so, can any e-mail attack on adress book?

But It may be possible because very master mind hackers are over world wide, It may be possible...

Ok,,,
I will take your advice seriously and will not open any email of this type.

Thanks For your response

I believe everyone in the military right now wants to put money in my account to hold for them. I think it is really sad how they use our military men and women for such scams. The ones that are fighting for our freedom do not even realize how they are being used in this respect. I think it is ashame of how far some people will go to get your personal information.


myLot reputation of 80/100. kanukrishna (182)   ranked 5,012 out of 15,098 in internet  3 months ago

I think they have to use the famous personality so that the outsider can identify them as that personality,
well after all, this is too sad,
They must use their mastermind in real and legel things, they can earn even more from that.

Unfortunately, these scams are perpetrated across the internet all the time. The sad thing is that some people will actually get drawn in and fall for it and it ends up costing them big time. Do yourself a favor and just delete those types of emails immediately. They are all scams.

Unless it's coming from someone you know, delete it. It's fake. I sometimes get into sweepstakes, Free Lotto, legitimate ones and anything that I'm not familiar with gets deleted. It's Spam, most of those places want your private info so they can get into your credit, bank accounts and the like. Often they want money to send you your winnings, if it costs you money, it's a fraud. Often they will want to send you a check, cash it and want some money in return, from that check. The check will bounce and you'll be left holding the bag and the debt, you will have to repay the bank the amount of the bounced check and any fees that apply.
We have to be careful, there are too many scammers who think we are dumb and rich and they are very willing to cheat us.


myLot reputation of 80/100. kanukrishna (182)   ranked 5,012 out of 15,098 in internet  3 months ago

It can be also dangerous if coming from your relatives.
I remember that someone has hacked gmail password of a proffesor in my city INDORE, INDIA. and send their outside relatives to financial help, and some relative take it seriously and sent the money, then any relative contacted to the profeesor about that email, proffesor shocked and then he called (Mobile) all the relatives to do not send money...

Oh wow, we can't really trust anything on the internet, can we? I guess if we see anything tempting about money on the internet we need to check it, then check it, and check it again.
Just curious, what does NEHA mean?
