GREETINGS,

I am MR. AHMED HASSAN from Burkina faso.I know that this mail will come
to you as a surprise as we have never met before, but need not to worry
as I am contacting you independently of my investigation and no one is
informed of this communication.

To make it clear, I need your urgent assistance in transferring the sum
of $11.3million immediately to your private account OR you can open a
new account where this money will be transferred into even an empty a/c
can serve as far as it can receive money.

The money has been here in our Bank lying dormant for years now without
anybody coming for the claim of it.I want to release the money to you
as the relative to our deceased customer the account owner(Mrs.Joyce
Lake) who died a long with her husband Ronald Lake in a plane crash since
31 January 2000.

You can confirm the genuineness of the decease death by visiting this
web site:
http://archives.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/a ... ines.list/

The Banking laws here does not allow such money to stay more than 8
years,that is why i want to release the money to you so we can use it to
secure the future of our both families because i don't want the money to
be recalled to the bank treasury as unclaimed fund.

Please respond urgently if you are interested.

Yours Sincerely

MR. AHMED HASSAN
===============================================

I respond this e_mail and i send my copy off my ID card. I am in trouble?

Hi Aikbj,

Welcome to Scamwarners, people send their ID and details to scammers all the time, unfortunately many then go on to send money.

Your best course of action is to delete all incoming emails from the scammers, if you read up around here you will learn how to identify the scams and delete those as well.

While it is not a good thing that these scammers have your ID, dont be too concerned, it is done now and there is nothing you can do to get it back, occasionally those details are used in identity fraud although it is relatively uncommon and there is nothing you can do if it is.
