Sounds pretty fake to me, how do i report this? or what should i do?Email scam? what do i do?
This is a definite scam and you need to report it to the FBIs Internet Crimes Complaints Center http://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx
This is indeed pretty fake.



Delete - and never respond to these jokers.



Your "hint" - it mentions Nigeria. Any mail from Nigeria should be classified as a scam / fraud - and deleted on sight.



For these and other examples - check http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/sc鈥?/a> - archives are free to read for all.Email scam? what do i do?
Put this e-mails as spam, i have been a victim of a scam never answer to these emails and as they say if it sounds too good to be true then it is a scam.
This is a definite scam,Do nothing except delete it.Email scam? what do i do?
OBAMA SENT IT Do not trust the COMMIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol
If it looks like a scam it probably IS
First of all, you can stop opening mail from people you do not know! Opening spam alerts the sender that your address is a valid one and they send you loads and loads more. It is a scam to get your personal information and/or money.

Do not respond to it.

Report it, forward it to the FTC at spam@uce.gov and to the abuse desk of the sender's ISP.

For yahoo, report them here: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/ya鈥?/a>

Choose Fraud as the reason for the violation you're reporting on.

Also, if the email appears to be impersonating a bank or other company or organization, forward the message to the actual organization.

And for your E-mail safety, remember:

Do not open E-mail unless you are absolutely sure who it is from, then treat all others as spam.

Never, ever give out your personal information to anyone, for any reason, whether by E-mail, snail mail, phone call, or at your front door.
Report it. You can probably go to the donotcall.gov page and find where to report it. They also have donotfax and stuff about email and mail violations.



Whatever you do - do not respond to the emails. Do not give them any info. It is a scam. Especially if you have not entered any contests.

And if you do win something you do not have to pay anything to get your prize.
