How nobody can stop this kind of e-mails. I receive 30 spam emails a day on my Yahoo mail. Unfortunately, sometimes the good emails gets deleted.

Such mails are too common now-a-days. Once we start checking your junk mails, we will certainly find atleast one fraud/phishing mails.

This scam is probably one of the oldest in the books, and should honestly be taught in school as it's so overly used!

I hear it often appears on Craigslist, and know of at least one person that was approached by a Nigerian, or at least someone claiming to be with a typical story about sending them the item first and that they'll pay you later or if they do pay first, it's a fake check.

This will definitely give a wrong impression to the students about that country.

I get tons of them every day. Sometimes the titles in the subject are so ridiculous that it's funny. They start out with My Beloved....Nobody calls me their beloved, so that is a good red flag for it being yet another scam.

I recieve tons of these everyday. They are rather hilarious.

And now they have ones with you winning the lottery. These people need to stop. I pity those who actually fall these type of scams. Like really, you think someone would be sending you that large amount of money and sending you an e-mail about it??
