The typical nigerian scam with a complicated BS story involving Bank Of Africa`s division in Burkina Faso-West Africa.

Last week a lot of permutations of a similar scam landed in my inbox, so I am posting them step by step.

This is clearly one of those, pls. delete the mail and do not be tempted to reply to it at all!

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.
