US $1100,000,00 Million dollars Sounds legit to me

[dj_rice]

I think I saw this on the CFCN thing one day, cant remember

Some ppl actually did this and lost their life savings cuz u have to give them ur credit information to get cash and send them like some money first

[Jassie]

People that are that stupid deserve it.

[civicluva]

I don't get how they scam money from you?

[shakalaka]

You give them all your credit information. I am guessing. So that such a huge amount can not be given you by cash or check, so they claim to deposit it straight up in your account. Once you give them all the info, basically they have all your savings or money. I am guessing, not sure.

[vect0r]

make an account at a bank you dont use with $5. see what happens :P

This is better known as the Nigerian Scam, it's been going on for decades, however due to e-mail it's a lot more frequent now (used to be in letters and faxes). Basically you get an e-mail from Joe Fuckface who claims to be the son of a wealthy diplomat in Nigeria. This wealthy diplomat has been murdered and has millions locked away in some Dutch bank. Joe Fuckface tells you that if you help him get the money to Canada or wherever, he will give you 25% of it. Sounds good, how they scam you is they'll get you to send them a "deposit" for "fees and other charges" associated with moving the alleged millions. This is also known as the Greater Fool Theory, meaning there's someone out there who is a greater sucker than the Nigerians putting these e-mails out.
