the African scam

There are millions of these letters that go to millions of people every day. You're usually told that a woman was a princess/queen/person of means/with a child/children and can't get out of the country, but has a fortune which is being held for her. If you would send a small amount to help that woman get her fortune out of the country, she will give you a million for your trouble. Or better yet, if you give her your bank account number, it will be worth more to you. If you do this, you will see zeros on your bank statement. There are probably millions of bleeding heart people who feel sorry for her, or better yet, all they see is they will receive a million for their trouble so they send money. You can send the letter to the FBI in Columbia. It will go into their African scam file which, by now, should be in it's 5,000th volume. If you or anyone else you know receives one of these, it's a scam. Remember!!!

Thank you very much! I'll do that first thing tomorrow.Luckily I'm not gullible enough to fall for something like that.
