Yes, this is one of the biggest scams around. Just ask someone at your local FBI office.

Of course I've seen a website by a guy who answers them and tries to scam money out of THEM!:rotfl:

I don't remember where it was, though.

It's completely on the level. I now own a series of asbestos manufacturing centers across sub-Saharan Africa. I was told that asbestos is going to make a dramatic comeback. By my calculations, I should only have to wait for a few more weeks, then it's easy street.

All I needed to invest was my savings account information and my credit card number. Sure, I have no savings, and am $50,000 in debt, but it was worth it.

I usually just delete but it may be fun to send some romanian curse words. Write up a template and I will send it around to scammers.
