Ive never worked out how they get the money out of your account - if you just respond to the email address, what's the next step? African Bush Junkie ... in London!

This guy did back to them, telling them he'd send the money if they joined his church.

Deranged. They ask you for an admin fee to release the funds to your account, nothing to large, then when you pay stg else needs a small payment and so on. Eventually some people pay tens of thousands and so in order to avoid "losing" all that amount, they keep paying sums of a few thousand to get to the final payout (hich of course never happens). Some people have lost 6-figure sums! |
