Again a lenghty Bank of Africa Scam.

Would be interesting to know whether such a bank exists at all!

Nevertheless this mail below is a fake and I would suggest to scrap it immediatelly

Delete this email and do not send them any of your personal details!

In general when you suspect the email could come from a scammer:

1. Do not reply, delete the e-mail immediately!

2. Never ever give any personal data, information out via e-mail to anybody!

3. Do not click on any embedded links in the mail!

4. Do not attempt to open any attached documents!

5. If you accidentally opened an attachment make sure you run a virus check and a spyware check on your computer immediately!

Here is the link to the best freeware we know.
