scam 100%. I'd also report the right authorities to track them down and get them busted.

You should read it but ignore it if it seems too good to be true, involves money, and seems suspicious. Yes, reporting to the authorities is a good idea too.

Scams come a dime a dozen and they go beyond the Internet and Telemarketing.  But here some help if you want to file an on-line complaint through the National Consumer League.  Visit http://www.fraud.org

Learn about the different frauds and scams happening everyday and what you can do about them.  I came across this information through Mindfield Mail Fraud Alert.  NCL, as I understand, has been in existence for quite some time.

Nigerian 419 scam???




In case you can't read the letter- here's the summary:

 

We somehow obtained your name and address and probably other private info about you and are sending you this fake check.  We would like for you to deposit it and send us back only $3320.00.  The rest of the check will be your reimbursement for thinking that we really are interested in hiring you so we decided to just send you this big irresistable check.  The catch is that you have to send us back the required funds of $3320.00 within 48 hours.  This way your bank won't have time to tell you that you are a dumb-*bleep* for depositing a fake check.   Then you will be broke and pissed and we will be laughing our asses off.

Well, they can kiss mine.  :bootyshake:
          hi what website i will get check cash it and not give them nothing lol

Nice thought but they won't have the funds so your bank will either not cash it or cash it and make you pay back the funds. It is a well known scam.

The Nigerian scam is so old!  I don't know how they get people's e-mail but I get at least three of these e-mails a week.  And these people don't even know me!  How the hell do they think that I'm going to actually believe that, I inherited or won millions of dollars from a place I've never been too!  Now come on! REALLY!  I've got a spam file that is out of this world because of them! :bs:
