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. |
