Mr. Arul I would think that rather than depending on the TV channels to come to our rescue, we should become proactive and send mails to all our friends, acquintences so that the message spreads far and wide. I am doing it right away
I have also received mails which promise me to pay ten percent as commission to act as teir representative in my country.The sum is in millions of dollars so you can well imagine the commission amount.After a few exchanges they end up asking you for a few dollars for registration or security and that's it. First it used to give some steel company address in UK,then it was some textile company laso from UK and then they started coming in from some textile companies in china. God Help Us.

Everyone gets it, mate......The most common is the private parts enlargement. Do not worry about that. the email account you might have given to some websites would be used by these scamsters. Dont worry about that. Its very common to get such emails.

Friends, be careful with the Nigerians. They are perpetrating biggest scams especially throught internet. One fine morning I have received a mail asking my interest in joining a petroleum company in Negeria monthly salary USD 26,000.00. When I browsed the net with the details, its just a job scam to collect all processing fees. As you aware Nigerians have already cheated many on fund transfers and all.... let us be careful with them
I RECEIVED NUMBER OF FAKE LETTERS OF APPOINTMENT WITH SALARY OF US$18000/MONTH.LETTER THE PROCESSING FEE OF US$3000 IS ASKED.I AM QUITE A MATURED PERSON.IN REPLY I ASK THEM TO SEND AIR TICKETS AND SALARY ADVANCE.I SAY ON REACHING NIGERIA I WILL PAY THE PROCESSING FEE.THEY THEN KEEP QUITE.BUT I AM SURE INNOCENT PEOPLE MUST BE SENDING THE MONEY.

Even replying to the mails is dangerous since you are confirming your email address to them. It enables them to keep sending spam to your inbox. The best advice i have received so far is that if the sender is unknown to you, delete the mail inyor inbox without even opening it.
I did the best of all to few messages i received few days back.I had help some one who had few million dollars left by his some unknown client who died in some unknown air crash.So the mail wanted me to be the claiment for that amount.The mailer also wanted me suggest few things etcto get that huge money.My reply was that they had contacted the right person and since i am a famous financial consultant in India they should send me the registration fees first before i suggest them how to get that money.I had sent them a huge list of my services and the fees for each service they should pay me and deposit some amount in my account as registration. Hahahahhah This day and that day that type of crap has stopped coming to my mail box. guys they feel they are intelligent but this is simply stupd and the people who fall to their prey are idiots not stupids.
