At the time of recession, scammers have no shame. They came out those schemes to scam people's money, because they knew that many people were desperate for it. Yesterday, I received an email in my mailbox, which the scammer told me that Western Union celebrates its 140 years of establishment. For reward people, they are giving out $60,000. I was a chosen one, and they require my bank account number and all other information. That is totally scam right. Do not fall for it, or they wipe your bank money clean. I wrote back the email to tell that person do not mail me again, and I will report him to the federal. He kept on sending me mail for the request of bank account number. Those scammer truly has no shame at all.

yeah you are right lots of people go to the extent of scamming and fooling people just to gain money and they dont even give an ounce of conscience if what there doing are right or wrong. It would really be wise for all those who are actively using internet to know this simple fact that not everything in the net should be trusted.

I have been receiving that types of emails before, glad I never jumped into it. That is they are asking you valuable informations to get into it and get those funds you have in it. I thought before it was true but thanks for the information, I wouldn't be jumping into this scams right now.
