Did anyone else get the email, he wants you to send your bank details so he can transfer money into it.
Did anyone get this Modibo Danjuma email?
I remember receiving a similar kind of mail from someone (don't remember the name as I immediately reported it as spam without giving any attention to the name). It said that someone wanted to deposit money in my bank and had asked me to send my bank details. As i mentioned earlier, I deleted the mail and would request you to do the same. Please do not give away your bank details to anyone as it is obviously going to be misused by them. They want your bank details not to give you any money but instead take your money out of your bank.
Reply:I got similar mails too. Actually this is a scam which started as early as the 1920's, read about it here: http://www.snopes.com/crime/fraud/nigeri...
