    These are versions of the classic Nigerian 419 scam. Sad thing is that many people have lost their life's savings falling for these scams. The good news is that some folks are fighting back. If you have a few minutes to spare you might get a good laugh from this site http://www.419eater.com/ where the scammers get scammed!
