My friend has had the experience of chatting on yahoo mesngr with a lady, who claimed to be the widow of a amazingly rich politican from the U.K. who wanted to start some business in India. After a couple of e-mails, she asked for his bank account and other details, which he refused to give immediatley but promised to give at a later date, after verifying credentials. She has not responded after that. .....there are many more scams happening all around ..... be smart guys..... money never comes free.... if something is too good to be true, it proabably is not true.
