Post us a screenshot. Usually the emails look pretty bad and the email address is a Hotmail account. Way to spot a fake is if they don't use your real name or username.

Billy. Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Everything is fake unless you were expecting something. That's not true. My great uncle who was a Nigerian doctor left me $15,000,000USD in an escrow account, following his death. He was going to leave it to charity, but felt that a member of the family should decide the fate of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like Nigeria is full of a lot of very wealthy people but they have a lot of plane crashes which affect the wealthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A true gent. Even though I've already submitted this identical information to Mr Osagobabwe, I'll do the same for you. Maybe it might hurry the payment up. I've been waiting for 6 months and heard nothing yet :unsure: I'll be glad when the money does arrive, as my account has strangely had a lot of cash removed from it. PM on its way.
