Here is a scam email that was forwarded to me, this one is looking for people who may be having trouble collecting their millions from Africa that they have been told is rightfully theirs.
Yes, I know, the millions from Africa do not exist and any money that is sent to retrieve such fraudulent funds will be lining the pockets of scammers with no return for those who have sent it.
The following email is designed to find those people who have already sent money and may therefore be more likely to send more money to a different scammer.
While there are many indicators that it is a scam, I will point out only one, a seacrh on "committee of foreign payment" the search result can be seen by Clicking Here, you will see other search results where people has asked if it is a scam, yes it certainly is, if the Nigerian government truely wanted to help, they would start by preventing scam artists from operating from their country and not by sending millions of dollars to random people on the internet
