Shrish – Thank you for the good example. Ever since I replied to this mail, I have been receiving double the amout of spam I used to get.

Also there are mails that someone(generally disguised as a bank manager in nigeria) asks me to help him reclaming money of a person dead(generally in plane crash) from bank etc.

I have received these type of mails too.

lol I have also got nearly 20 such mails. I m today a millionaire. Also there are mails that someone(generally disguised as a bank manager in nigeria) asks me to help him reclaming money of a person dead(generally in plane crash) from bank etc. I am supposed to pay 30-40% of money.

If I continue to get such mails, I m thinking of buying Reliance(Top Indian company).

This is all fraud. Many people were fooled with this. I should mention such a example…

A man in India got a mail from nigeria, they said they have robbed a bank and police searching for us. If u hide this robbed money in ur country we will give u some 30% etc. The man contacted them and was asked to come nigeria, when he reached there, he was kidnapped by them and asked to phone his family members to send $s(I do’nt remember the amount) to release him.

There are lots of such examples. So beware of such frauds.

Do not send mails in reply to such mails, if you do that then your mail will be shared across the spammers community and you will get lot of such mails daily….

Nice to c that u havent been asked to pay anything. Its a spam for sure, but y to avoid it till they ask money!
