Shall I reply?
I received this email this morning and it really looks like a generous offer from a very nice Nigerian person.
I’m very tempted to send him/her the contents of my bank account but thought I’d run it past you all first.
What would you do……….I ran out of breath trying to read it.
“ This mail is been writing to you because we have come to understand that
you have lost a lot of money all because you want to receive your fund
well note that all that have been put to a stop as the federal government of
Nigeria has promised to assist you with the sum of $5million in other to
compensate you and all you have to do is fill the below information s.
1 full name
2 home phone and cell phone number
3 occupation
4 amount that was lost by you
Send this and get back at once.
Warm regards
Femi

Don't trust him as he's not signed it "Prince Something" so there's no backing behind the offer !
When he advises you that the King or one of his sons is backing the scheme then you know your money is secure ! I want to see the sweets before I get into your windowless van... I'm not stupid!

It's amazing that these emails are still doing the rounds. Presumably the people still trying them don't realis that they are a well known scam. Or perhaps there are still people falling for them. Which actually wouldn't be that surprising, when one reads of people getting duped by other online/phone scams even now.Visiting from rrsport.co.uk

I’m perfectly happy to share the $5m. In fact I’m happy to pass this offer on to anyone in need ( of psychiatric help) 😅

All you need is one person in 100, even 1,000 to fall for this. It’s normally the older person who can least afford it.
Consumers and businesses in the UK have lost £381m to online/email fraud since 2017.
Personally, I’d happily have the culprits subject to capital punishment.
