I have been lucky for ages not having received one of these.
However, today, I received this, the names have been removed for the sake of privacy should it actually be true.
The only problem is, since watching Phonejacker, I just want to read this in the voice of George Agdgdgwngo.
“How are you doing today? Hope fine.It’s hot over here in Dakar Senegal. My name is xxxx xxxxx single, 24 years of age and never married, i am from Liberia in west Africa,presently i am residing in the refugee camp here in Dakar Senegal as a result of the civil war that was fought in my country.
Im the only xxxxxxx of late Mr. xxxxx xxxxxx who deals on Silver and Gold whom the rebels attacked our house and killed him and my mother but i sucided to ran out and had my way here in Dakar Senegal where i am living now as a refugee Of which i inherited my late fathers fund which he lodged in Bank in Europe which i’ve tried to withdraw the fund but i was denied the access because of my refugee status, rather i was advice to bring a relative/partner to file for the fund as my trustee requesting on my behalf. The total fund is 6.Million Pounds, which my late father lodged in the bank in Europe.
Plz Im soliciting for your noble hand to help me transfer this fund into your account because i want to have my freedom and i dont want to stay here anymore because no one would like to be strap in a hell like this, that is why i’m writting you to help me retrieve this fund so that i can be free and can be able to regain what ever i’ve lost in the past,i wanted to do this by myself and it wasn’t going through because of my refugee status, so i decided to write you with all my whole heart and i will like to offer you 15% if you would help me and also 10% for any expensis you will do when transacting with the bank. I would like to know more about you.
I would like to have your informations below if you would really love to assist me:

I am not sure how best to answer you Kerry.
In my own honest opinion, if someone was really in this position, there must be a better way of seeking a resolution to the matter rather than randomly selecting people from the internet.
My mail account that was used was a soley business email, used only for the internet as a contact, so it is not registered on any strange websites.
Also, how would someone in a camp, get access to the internet. When I am abroad, its hard enough to find a spare machine in an internet cafe, and when you do they want to charge you lots of money.
Basically, if the funds were deposited in England, the Bank of England could be contacted, and if they are in Europe, I am sure the European Central Bank could assist.
Please be careful in your correspondence, you may give way more details about your own life which, in conjunction with your email address could be sold on and used against you.
I would not advise you to lie to the person, but I could give you half a dozen refugee camps and some bank details that would make your hair curl, but I don’t have any funds there.
Take care
Andy

There should not be any need to involve police or laywers.
To save getting upset or worried, you can always setup a block or spam reference to stop the mails coming to you.
You can also bounce an email, which gives the sender the impression that the email address no longer exists.
These types of emails used to be referred as 419 emails which were specifically Nigerian based emails. There is tons of info on the website, and each country deals with the problem in a variety of ways.
Take a look at the following website – http://www.scamletters.com/rss.html
This shows all these sorts of letters and you can forward your for them to look at.

If you had an account with $10 in it and someone was to try and pull a scam to withdraw money from this account how could they do it if no ATM or checks were issued or allowed on this account? Personal (in person withdrawls only) now I am pulling along just such a person from S. Africa just to see what they try and do. The only thing they will be able to do is a direct bank to bank money transfer, but then they would require you to be there if they wanted to get their money, right?

For the most part when i am on holiday for a few weeks i just buy a prepay sim locally which saves on all the hassles of using my own sim card.
