I was asked to open an account to which 17+ million dollars would be transferred to this account and I was to keep 40% and return 60% to him. what raised my already high suspicions was that he continually used the terms trust and Confidentiality. Here are copied emails he has sent to me.

Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives

for more than two years now. I seek your consent to

present you as the NEXT OF KIN of the deceased since you

have the same last name with my client, so that the

proceeds of the account valued at (US$17.322M) can be paid

to you and then you and me can share the money. 60% to me

and 40% to you. I have all necessary legal documents that

can be used to back up any claim we may make.

All I require from you is your honest co-operation to

enable us seeing this deal through. I guarantee you that

will protect you and me from any breach of the law. Please

I am absolutely serious when I tell you that receive at least 2-4 similar emails per day. It is the most common piece of spam that I get. There is not much that the government can or will do about this type of scam. There are a number of web sites dedicated to fighting this type of scam. You might consider reporting it to the FBI or the Secret Service, but they get dozens of complaints about this. I've stopped reporting them to the authorities. Instead, I forward the email to the abuse department of the ISP (with full headers). In most cases, the email address is shut down withing a few days.
