I got this very strange email the other day..

Did anyone else? Or has anyone else got something similar...I'm assuming its rubbish..


THANKS AND GOD BLESS YOU.
Dear Good Friend.
How are you together with your family members?, I think all is well. Despite
the fact that I did not know you in person or have i seen you before but due to
the reliable revelation,I decided to share this lucrative opportunity with you,
I have no other choice, so kindly consider this message as vital, believing that
sooner or later we will be multimillonaires, First and formost, I have to
introduce myself to you. I AM MR ZUMA HAZAN, THE FOREIGN OPERATIONS MANAGER OF
OUR BANK here in my country, BURKINA FASO WEST
AFRICA. I am married with three children.
I want you to assist me in other to transfer the sum of Nineteen Million Three Hundred
United States Currency ($19.3,000,000) into your reliable account as the Next
of Kin to our Foreign Business partner , the original owner of the fund. He was
a foreigner and a multi company holder who died in a plane crash with his family
years ago, he deposited the fund in our bank for his business expansion in
Africa unfortunately he met this sudden and untimely death and the worst thing
that happened was the wife who suppose to be the successor of the account died
alongside with him.
Since the deceased left no body behind to claim the fund, as a foreigner, you
are in better position for that, and no body will come for the claim after you
have applied. If you are ready to assist me, set up a new bank account or
forward to me any one avialable so that the process will commence .

Iwill guide you on how you should apply for the claim so that everything will
be smooth and correct. After the transfer, i will resign and come over to your
country for the sharing of the fund base on the fact that it is two man
business.
Finally, note that you are not taking any risk because there will be a legal
back up as we commence.
reply Fast for more information's.
Regard,
Mr zuma Hazan.

Aah thats ok then. I was worried that some random stuff that I've subscribed to might have given my email address away willy nilly
Actually that's a pretty foolish one as their saying if you open a new bank account they will accept that if you don't want to use your own bank account. Since you could create one with no overdraft option it would be rather useless to them I'd imagine.

I went through a time when I was getting a few of these a month, but it's stopped now - they just target random e-mails, hoping someone will fall for the old 'something for nothing' line. As long as you ignore them, nothing will happen. :smile:
