Anyone else getting these?

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
I've been getting an e-mail from someone claiming to be from an African bank stating that I am a relative of someone wealthy who has recently died and left me an inheritance. I know this is a scam. The grammar is terrible and it's a yahoo account. I'm getting this same e-mail almost everyday. I've reported it as spam. I'm just wondering if it's only me or are a lot of people receiving this scam.

Its a really common scam and unfortunitly lots of people fall for it. I havent gotten one lately - but Kev gets them almost daily.

I haven't gotten one of those. The ones I get claim that an out of country millionaire is having trouble transfering his money to the US and would I please deposit checks for them.

Yup they're known as Nigerian scams. Since I know I don't have any relatives in Africa, or anywhere else in the world they make me laugh.
