There is really no point posting individual spam/fraud messages here - we get enough of them ourselves.

However, what you can do is report the Yahoo contact address, so that it can be taken down. Two ways


This will take you just a few seconds, but it will render the spammer/scammer's efforts useless. He will have to start again from scratch; just to be reported again.

P.S. Scams with Gmail contact addresses can be reported at https://services.google.com/inquiry/gmail_security2

No need to apologize Smile We all come here to learn something Cool

Reporting the bastards who are trying to defraud innocent people is a good thing to learn, and to do.

More information on the type of scam message you have posted: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advance_fee_fraud

Someone else pointed this out on this forum sometime back, but posting occasional fraud messages here may help an individual who may try to google some of the text of some scam spam and he/she may end up finding useful info like this. Usually there is always more than one side of a story.

So, if someone is unsure, go ahead and post and you will get an answer.
