I was solicited by email to assist an African to move money fron the Ivory Coast to a US bank. In return I would be paid a fee of 2% of the money to be moved. After paying supposed government fees to release the money for the government confiscation, the transfer never occurred. I paid fees of $16,000, but did not receive a dime in return.

The first questin that should be raised is "Why should DR ABDUALLY YOUSSOUFF or MIRIAM ABACHA or IBIN AHORIN be asking ME to handle his/her millions?" If a red flag doesn't shoot up fast then I can't be of any help. You get a lot of wierd e-mail these days... like the 'official' notice of a possible misuse of my credit card at Best Buy. All I have to do is type in my card information... yeah right! [On typing in that information, the perps now can ACTUALLY MISUSE MY CREDIT CARD at Best Buy or the local bar, their choice.] Or how about the 'official' communications from 'Microsoft' where you are supposed to download something -- don't. Go rent the movie "Catch Me if You Can" and realize that psychological methods criminals have always employed can now be applied to the internet. Remember: Snake Oil has been sold for years. The internet is only the latest venue available for such presentations. 'Delete' is such a great command!

This is one of the oldest scams in the world...it has been flying around via the postal service for over a decade and now can be seen regularly via e-mail. I hate to say it but you seem to qualify for a "Darwin Award". If you fell for this then it might be better for you to be "thinned from the herd". Easy money is never easy and rarely cheap.
