Dear Gopakumar,
Please very Urgent.
I am contacting you to assist me in transferring the sum of (€6,500,000 million
euros) into your personal bank account, this will be for the benefit of both of
us.
This is a genuine business transaction only I cannot operate it alone without
using a Foreigner according to the laws guiding my bank, that is why i am
contacting you in this manner to help me stand before my bank as the
beneficiary to claim this fund into your bank account, for assisting me to actualize
this better opportunity, you will be entitled to have 40% from the total fund
while 60% will be for me, as a matter of fact, what i need is your maximum
cooperation and to provide a valid bank account where my bank will transfer
this money for the benefit of you and I. By indicating your interest on
assurance of trust I will send you the full details and how this business will
be executed.
Most importantly, please I will advice you to keep this business proposal as a
top secret between you and me. Your urgent response to this mail will be highly
appreciated., Give me your email address..."

This scam is at least 10 years old. Thanks for warning all who did not know about it yet! My only reason for not giving a "Like" is that I am against prejudice and generalization inducing attributives - I have been one of their victims for too long.

Well as long as we keep educating people and remember that although we may know, newbies are coming online everyday and they don't.

I will give him this He gets points for persistence and for being totally amusing. I have been sending a few messages back and forth with him and he just won't quit. We have gone from him wanting my email address (So not happening) to trying to get me to invite him to my home. If I won't give my e-mail address, what makes him think I will even remotely consider giving him the information about where I lay my head at night?

It is an old story and a very old scam but the fact that it is still out there means that people are still falling for it. So old as this scam is, the warning is still timely.
