For some reason they they have problems accepting money from US customers and they need you to handle those payments. You will be paid 5 to 20 percent commission per transaction.

They will ask you for all your personal data, including your bank account information. You will be a victim of:

* identity theft,
* money stolen from your account, or
* may receive fake checks or money orders for payments which you deposit into your account. Their cheques to you will bounce (it may take weeks or even months) only after you have sent them all your money! Your bank will have NO sympathy and you will owe them money.

Estate and Inheritance Scams

Posted at July 1, 2009

Wow, you’ve just inherited a truckload of money from a relative that you didn’t know existed. The scammers will try anything to get your money. What’s going to happen here is they will ask for your bank account numbers and passwords so that they can wire you your money. What will actually happen is … they will clean you out.

If you phone the number, they will have a VERY COMPELLING story of why you inherited. They will use intimidation tactics, greed tactics, basically anything that works to get your information. The number you phone may be a high priced incoming call number that you have to pay the charges on … they will keep you on the phone forever!

Don’t phone. Don’t even let your heart rate increase by one pulse rate per minute. This is a SCAM. Delete. Don’t even open the email. Just DELETE.
