Hi Guys!!!
I wonder if some of you have received emails like the above posted Subject "Winning Lottery Notification" or an email telling you that some1 wants to transfer his/her funds to your bank because he/she is sick with some kind of diseases blah blah...
They requires all of your personal information to process the transfer.
I'm sure that these all are just making fool and there's nothing like that but there must be some kind of mystery involved in this but I dont know whats the aim of the senders of those emails.
If someone of you can solve this mystery I'll thankful to him/her because I receive these kind of email almost daily!!!

yeah Manya!!! I know that they are 100 % 1% scamers but I thought that some one on internet is trying to track me for something may be FBI or something. Because I'm from Pakistan and here're lots of cases that FBI arrested many people who uses internet and they were not involved in any type of illegal activities. Then I investigated my self and realized that they all recevied the same kind of email and after some time like couple of months, they were arrested by FBI or some secret agencies for interogation.
Thats why I'm really careful about this thing and advise every one to be aware of it...

Its called Nigeria letters and is a form of scam to trick people into paying fake fees and stuff to get money that doesnt exist. Ive actually started collecting theese letters and ive got around 55 of them. It can also be acts of Pfishing(using peoples personal information in criminal activities).
Whatever you do, dont hunt down the people that send theese, every year around 10 people mysteriously dissapear when trying to get back their money.

I can't solve the mystery but I receive at least 2 or three a week of these and have been doing so since the beginning of the year. I report each one as spam. If they were true I would be a multi mutli millionaire or billionaire by now. I am sure there are some people stupid or should I say guillable enough to give their dtails. They usually require an admin fee so I think that is how they make their money. I had a car for sale on line recently just for a few hundred pounds but I kept getting emails offering me thousands instead and they would collect the difference when they picked car up. I reported to polica and it turns out it was a money laundering type thing, For example they send you a cheque for £3000 you keep £300 for you car plus £50 extra for drawing out cash to give them. I sold my car to someone who genuinely bought it for £300, but again I am sure many would be tempted. If you do get the answer let me know? Ellie:D
