My Dear Friend,

Hi How are you doing? Actually here in need of an asistant help me claim some amount of money from a bank so am here for a God fearing person who will be honest with me to get this.It is with trust and sincerity that I approach you for assistance to transfer some funds into your bank account. Please do accept my apology if my mail infringes on your personal ethics. My name is Morgan Mehan, A Private Lawyer based here in Ghana. Honestly it will be my humble pleasure if we can work together.

I would like you to act as the next of kin to my deceased client who made a deposit of 5.5 Million United States Dollars Only with a bank here in Ghana few years back. He died in an auto crash with his wife and only child without any registered next of kin and as such the funds now have an open beneficiary mandate with the (BANK) here in Accra-Ghana. This means that any person from your country can act as the next of kin of the deceased person for claiming the inheritance funds without any risk involved.

If you are interested in this transactions, Please do let me know immediately by furnishing me with your information below so that I can give you comprehensive details on how to proceed. I urgently hope to get your response as soon as possible.

1. Full name:
2. Home/office Address:
3. Mobile Telephone number:
4. Occupation:
5. Marital status
6. Age:
7. Private email:

Kindly send your reply to my private email :morgmehan@live.com

Best Regards.
Barrister Morgan Mehan.

I agree - of course this place is full of scammers. If men are stupid enough to send thousands of pounds to a woman they don't know and have never even seen on a web-cam or spoken to on the phone then they deserve to lose their money. There are genuine women on here - including from places like Nigeria - but there are also loads of men who are just here for a wind-up or to try and scam women.
Regardless of your thoughts and feelings, using such phrases as "Black Bastards" is out of order. I'm white, British, but I find that sort of language offensive. I'd challenge you to stand in the middle of London or New York and say that - you wouldn't get out alive.

NEVER WIRE FUNDS VIA WESTERN UNION, MONEYGRAM or any other wire service - anyone who asks you to do so is a scammer.
FAKE CASHIER CHECKS & MONEY ORDERS ARE COMMON, and BANKS WILL CASH THEM AND THEN HOLD YOU RESPONSIBLE when the fake is discovered weeks later.
CRAIGSLIST IS NOT INVOLVED IN ANY TRANSACTION, and does not handle payments, guarantee transactions, provide escrow services, or offer "buyer protection" or "seller certification"
NEVER GIVE OUT FINANCIAL INFORMATION (bank account number, social security number, eBay/PayPal info, etc.)
AVOID DEALS INVOLVING SHIPPING OR ESCROW SERVICES and know that ONLY A SCAMMER WILL "GUARANTEE" YOUR TRANSACTION.
DO NOT RENT HOUSING WITHOUT SEEING THE INTERIOR, OR PURCHASE EXPENSIVE ITEMS SIGHT-UNSEEN - in all likelihood that housing unit is not actually for rent and that cheap item does not exist.
DO NOT SUBMIT TO CREDIT CHECKS OR BACKGROUND CHECKS FOR A JOB OR FOR HOUSING UNTIL YOU HAVE MET THE INTERVIEWER OR LANDLORD/AGENT IN PERSON.

Recognizing scams

Most scams involve one or more of the following:

inquiry from someone far away, often in another country
Western Union, Money Gram, cashier's check, money order, shipping, escrow service, or a "guarantee"
inability or refusal to meet face-to-face before consumating transaction

Examples of Scams

1. Someone claims that craigslist will guarantee a transaction, certify a buyer/seller, OR claims that craigslist will handle or provide protection for a payment.

These claims are fraudulent, as craigslist does not have any role in any transaction.
Scammer will often send an official looking email that appears to come from craigslist, offering a guarantee, certifying a seller, providing payment services -- all such emails are fakes!

2. distant person offers a genuine-looking (but fake) cashier's check

you receive an email (examples below) offering to buy your item, or rent your apartment, sight unseen.
cashier's check is offered for your sale item, as a deposit for an apartment, or for your services.
value of cashier's check often far exceeds your item - scammer offers to "trust" you, and asks you to wire the balance via money transfer service
banks will often cash these fake checks AND THEN HOLD YOU RESPONSIBLE WHEN THE CHECK FAILS TO CLEAR, including criminal prosecution in some cases!
scam often involves a 3rd party (shipping agent, business associate owing buyer money, etc)

3. Someone requests wire service payment via Western Union or MoneyGram:

Scam "bait" items include apartments, laptops, TVs, cell phones, tickets, and other high value items
Often claim that an MTCN or confirmation code is needed before he can withdraw your money - this is FALSE, once you've wired money, it is GONE.
Common countries currently include: Nigeria, Romania, United Kingdom, Ukraine, Spain, Italy, Netherlands - but could be anywhere
Apartment listing may be local, but landlord/owner is "travelling" or "relocating" and needs you to wire money to them abroad
Deal often seems too good to be true, price is too low, rent is below market, etc

4. distant person offers to send you a money order and then have you wire money:

this is ALWAYS a scam, in our experience - the cashier's check is FAKE
sometimes accompanies an offer of merchandise, sometimes not
scammer often asks for your name, address, etc for printing on the fake check
deal often seems too good to be true

5. distant seller suggests use of an online escrow service.

most online escrow sites are FRAUDULENT, operated by scammers
for more info, do a google search on "fake escrow" or "escrow fraud"

6. distant seller asks for a partial payment upfront, after which he will ship goods

he says he trusts you with the partial payment
he may say he has already shipped the goods
deal often sounds too good to be true

7. foreign company offers you a job receiving payments from customers, then wiring funds

foreign company may claim it is unable to receive payments from its customers directly
you are typically offered a percentage of payments received
this kind of "position" may be posted as a job, or offered to you via email

Still have questions? try our help desk discussion forum or send us a note.

It is true that there are fake people here; but to generalise it to all blacks is a naked lie. There are some of us who are genuine and not fake. Fucking all blacks is not the solution but fucking all scammers would make sense

Though your massage has something to useful but It's absolutely immoral and discriminating habit to treat all blacks in such a way! Besides, can you clarify what research pinpointed blacks to be the majority of scammers over here! I'm very disappointed guy.
By the way, you should have to be very cautious when communicating with anybody who's still not familiar to you.

I think I poop my pants....................sorry

that is what he want or think
