More Scams by E-Mail

How can one person be so lucky? Look at all the money I have coming my way - either by way of a winning or by way of a scam. Isn't it interesting that a lot of these e-mail scams actually set up the scenario of a scam where you pretend to be somebody you're not in order to remove money from a country or a bank or a business. What would you call a scam that contains a scam - maybe a meta scam? Anyway, there sure are lots of these scams around. Don't get taken!

The amount involved is (15,000,000.00) United States Dollars which i
happens to be his accountant holding every original documents covering
the money before my client died.It should also interest you to know
that my client Mr William Barnes has not married at the time of the
incident and his family do not know a tip of this money lying in our
bank.So,i would want to present you as the next of kin to my late
client in order to claim this inheritance funds.

I want to transfer this money into a safe foreign account abroad but I
don't know any foreigner, I know that this message will come to you
as a surprise as we don't know ourselves before, But be sure that it is
real and a genuine business. I believe in God that you will never let
me down in this investment.

All i need for now is your full contact information phone and fax
number, Name will be necessary to this effect.

Hope to hear from you soonest.

Thanks,
DR Frank Tony

Services(OUR COMPANY) because of their inability to have paid it at
the agreed time.They said that you were dead and before your death,you
appointed them as the next of kin to your compersation $1.5m presently
under our custody these two white men and the black gentleman quickly
applied that your compersationd fund should be presented to them at
the spot.

The Official responsible for the presentation of consignment quickly
granted approvals to their application and packaged the fund for them
to go with it.When the Lasco security, company & Sec. Services Debit
Note was submitted to my desk for final Approvals before forwarding it
to them for endorsement, I noticed that there are discrepancies as
there was no evidence of authorization letter from you for the change
of beneficiary.I urgently summoned The Official responsible for the
presentation of the consignment and directed him to stop the movement
of the funds and at the same time placed a stop order instruction on
the funds pending when your views and comments are received with
