Surely, you'd be a fool to miss out on this?

Cant possibly go wrong, you'd have a copy of thier passport. What could go wrong?

============


I am a well known model in the USA and EUROPE. My faither just died and left me a HUGE INHERITANCE ($50,000,000) in a small private company deposited on my name, but unfortunately I cannot touch it until it is finished going through probate court. Can you loan me $150,000 until my money is freed from the courts here? I should be able to pay you back within 1 week immediately the money has been remitted in my account and will happily pay you $500,000 in interest.

If you are interested in my offer, please send me your full name, address and phone number, so we can take the next step.

Note: I do not have whatever i can lay down to stand with but will provide you the attached autentic copy of the certificate of deposit with my citizen passport so you can locate me if i fail to return your money.

Thanks!

Seriously, does anyone follow up on this? Net Police or whatever? However slim the chance is that someone might go for it, surely poeple like this need a telling off/slap/shooting.

First time I've been emailed one from India, yes. Make a pleasant change.

But, regardless, does anyone (law wise) follow up on these? Its like the bank details e-mails, some poor people might fill them in and then give some work-shy scumbag access to their accounts.

Yes, more fool them, but is anyone responsible for chasing them/stopping them?

I'm in if you want to go halves to split the risk. Could be a scam, but if it's not we'll be the ones laughing.
