I was contacted a few months ago, via email, from one Mr Obinna Ume, a barrister from Nigeria. He stated that I could claim inheritance from one Mr. Frederick Purcell, who had died in a automobile crash along with his wife and small child. I tried to contact the actual bank in Nigeria to no avail (she could not hear me on the other end). After having read this report I am assured that this in fact the scam that was mentioned by tow other individuals. I have not sent money (monies) to them though, so I suppose that this scam will not work. I di, however note that the numbers for the "bank" were not the same as those listed for the bank in Nigeria on the internet yellow pages.

All sorts of these emails out there......

This email has many varieties circulating around out there. And they will always start out for a "call for help" and then a request for contact or bank info.
Commonly referred to as the "nigerian letter scam" this is listed with the FBI and Internet Fraud Complaint Center and can be found on their website: www.ifccfbi.gov
I have even read accounts of people actually being conned to go there and meet with "individuals" only to never be heard from again.
I enjoy these types of emails as it gives me a chance to lead these people on and then call them what they really are.
