Important Notes :-

1. Whatever you do, do not respond to any e-mail like this. If you have given bank details to any fraudster like this, then inform your bank immediately and also make sure that you close the account.

2. If the e-mail mentions a well known e-mail address such as from gmail.com, live.com, yahoo.com etc., then why not forward the offending e-mail to abuse@gmail.com, abuse@live.com etc. Hopefully, they'll remove the e-mail address, which will stop people being sucked in.

Hi, i too have just received this e-mail and although i'd like to think im not gullible enough to fall for scams like this, i know some people do fall for this kind of thing. Having a page like this should show any other potential scam victim that the e-mail (which is repeated word perfect above)is a fraud. Be wary all, like they say on the real hustle, if its too good to be true, it usually is!! :D
