Hi,

This may be old news to some but this is for the benefit of those who doesn't know yet these Nigerian copycat email scams happening all over the world. We all know that the internet already reached our far-flung provinces and these scams plays with a person's greed for money and naivity.

More and more people from our provinces have now access to the internet and don't even know the calculated risks they are facing in the cyber world. From hoping to get a foreign partner via online to scams like this one.

And in fact, i just received 5 of these email scams in my yahoo inbox for the last 2 days.

BEWARE!!! DO NOT EVEN TRY TO REPLY TO ANY OF THESE MAILS... if u receive one, delete immediately.
