    new update:

    well just for fun i replied to one of their emails and i pretended to be interested, after a couple of days they said they received a letter from some US department that thinks the funds is connected with terrorism and that they will freeze the funds. BUT ofcourse my dear friend had a solution for this. he would open a fake mining corporation wich would cost me $3.000. now the funny part, if i didnt pay the $3000 then the US would flag me as a terrorist and probably investigatre me furhter and a possible jail time.

    so here you are another fact that nothing comes for free. (besides the freebie section in DP :p)

    Do be careful when dealing with these scammers, some are syndicates, if you had read the 419baiters these are more or less professional baiters, there is a warning against baiting if you aint experienced. For us, it is safer to just delete the emails.

    well it all seems a bit silly would any one trust a stranger with that much money.
