hi mylot friends,
some two months back, regular iam getting mails that you have awarded with a lottery ,so give the details and asking about my full name,age,address,phone number and everything,
some mails about stating that we are interested to do business in your country,we have find that you are suitable person,if you are willing to participate with us, we will give share in the business and finally some mails like this
i am one of the bank director/auditor/employee there is an account with no kith and kin, if you co-operate with us we will tranfer the huge funds to your account and after transfer the amount in to your account we will collect from you and you will get a commission of 20 to 30 percent for doing help in this transfer.
But i have not responded for most of this type of emails except for one or two, and i have not also sent/transfer any money to them from my account, still iam getting this type of mails to my mail(my spouse) if you want i will forward the same message to you,have you come across this type of mails

Hi Yugasini...all of these are scams and fakes. I would advise that you not respond to any of them nor give out your address and such. It could have some disasterous consequences, such as "identity theft."@PeacefulWmn9 (10420)

Oops, sorry Yugasini. I see my response is a repeat of the advice of many!

Hi Yuga. Yes, those kinds of false mails are floating around on the internet all the time. One has to be careful about them. I would never respond to them.

Hi Yugasini, all this mails are fraud mails and trying to cheat people, They will first give you big big promises and huge amount which you have never thought of, and then once you give your details, they will either ask you to pay some money for transfer charages or delivery charges or use your details for any other purposes which might be dangerous for you if details are used for wrong purposes. Yesterday only I have posted on link to check such emails, posting it once again so that other members can also take use of it. Below is the link.

Really a very good sites for checking such types of emails.

I get them all the time Yugasini. They are nothing but scams. what they are doing is trying to gather as much information about you as they can so they can use it to commit fraud of all kinds. they will take that information and use it to do things like make major purchases in your name in other countries, even pay their bills! Yeah mark them as spam and just move on. they wont stop sending to you so that's really all you can do other than not give them anything.
