Has anyone gotten emails from people that want you to work for them from NIgeria

Wow-- Nope I haven't ever gotten anything like that- I don't check my home e-mail unless I know who it is- and my work has such a good spam blocker- that I doubt it could get through! I'm thankful! I wonder who does this- and how many gullible people fall for it-?

ve been getting these kind of emails for quite awhile now. Honsstly, they scare me!!Seems they want someone to be a 'banker for them.. I don't know if this is even legal!! I delete them all. One even said I had inherited money, God knows from whom!!!1 Hopefully, someone will stop them, though who are the "police" for the Internet?

All the time.They get on my last nerves.I send them to spam.THey are a whole bunch of scams trying to get your personal information.Then they send those fake lottery winnings.They are something else.Doesnt make any sense.

I strongly suggest you disregard them, or any that asks for your personal bank information. Or your credit card information, or your social security number. It amazes me greatly they don't even use another country name. But if it is allegedly coming from Nigeria, that's the first big red flag. I had one that was allegedly here in the US that was an offer to receive money, in my own bank account, and in turn I keep some percentage and forward the balance to them. Very suspicious ... If I ever am convinced of a genuine offer I would see if I could open a zero balance business account and wait for the money to come in. But I wouldn't hold my breath ...

The US State Department has a long series of articles on this and has been trying to put a stop to it for decades. It used to happen via Snail Mail and phone calls back many years ago. What they do is get your bank account info, and then tell you they are going to deposit money in. Then they leech all the cash out and leave you peniless. There are some instances where they have conned people into actually coming to Nigeria, and those people disappeared. (I'm assuming their cash and credit cards were put to some use.) There are no Internet Cops, and many countries just plain don't get along when it comes to law enforcement. So don't expect this to die down anytime.

Hi, Be very careful about this ,i am not saying it's not possible but ask anybody offering jobs or business to go through the Embassy,that's when you'll know if it's real or not.
