Post subject: | Transfer of money |
I have received numerous emails about this type of activity. Dont you think that if it were legal, they would do it themselves. I feel that this is just a scheme. I think its actually a way for the writer of the email to find out financial info about you. I know I wouldnt trust anyone with millions of dollars of my money without knowing very detailed info about them. All emails of this nature go directly to the trash can. ![]() DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY PERSONAL INFO. ![]() Steven R. Congo Starlight Investigations PO BOX 689 Huntsville, AL 35804 256-631-8510 |

This scam has been around for a few years. Most of it originates in Africa. The FBI published a report on it long ago but I have no clue where the report is. I get the emails, too. I merely forward them to the FBI. |

most of the emails originate out of africa and promise large sums of money if they can transfer funds into your account--it is a front for an id theft ring--works this way you open an account in your name and give the people access to it -(now they can get your ss# dob address and account)checks start showing up drawn on your name all over the country--this scam is old as the hills --nypd frauds division had it over twenty years ago in a slightly different form-- |

Andy: Rod Mitchell here. I am also a former news journalist and have served as a hard news publicist for over 20 years. You probably received an email from Nigeria or other African country - right? The FBI and Homeland Security have been monitoring these scams for the past three years. They typically offer a profit for completing the transaction. Most are scams, but some are methods by which terrorist groups get legitimate $$$ into the U.S. for nefarious purposes. Sometimes the transaction involves diamonds. If you have a local FBI office, I suggest you forward this correspondence to that office. You can read more on this scam at: http://www.fraud.org/tips/internet/nigerian.htm. |
