I know that this is a scam - in fact this is the second one I've come across in my email. The first one was from a woman in Swaziland who needed my help (yes, I, poor, starving college student that she's never met before in her life, am her only hope) to save 4 million dollars that are rightfully hers. All she needs is my bank account numbers ( ;) ) so she can "transfer" the money and she'll give me 2 million for my trouble. Isn't that nice of her? :rolleyes:
I just now got contacted by some guy from a country I've never heard of keeps emailing me asking me to help him transfer 9 million dollars out of Africa, and he'll reward me with 3 million dollars. I don't know what to do about this. Should I report these emails? My mom said to just let it go, but now that I've gotten two I'm starting to wonder. Just for the heck of it I emailed the second guy back with the message "Quit bugging perfect strangers. Earn money the legal way!" And he has been emailing me back every day - trying so hard to convince me he's honest! It is hilarious! Maybe I should save the emails and send them to the police or something, but for right now, I'm having a really fun time reading them! Here are the last two, they're at least good for a laugh:

Dear Emily,
i must say that i'm not surprise at your action or statement
saying this is a scam because i guess you might have received something related to this which you think is a scam but i want to assure you that this is no scam and if you need more proof on this transaction please feel free to contact the back on this email address.
Tell them that you were sent by Mr. Jones Leach and you want to get the full proof of this transaction. The major aim why we need a foreigner with a foreign account is to enable us to make good use of the money which you will benefit most out of it because without you involve nothing can be done and you involving your self you are risk free because you can't give out your informations without contacting the lawyer
There's a saying that says that God provides but u don't expect God to come down him self and give u ur daily bread,this an opportunity for us to be ****ed rich
Any delay in response to this mail may actract us to someone else but i feel God wants to answer ur long time prayers
Anxiously awaiting to read from you
Urs. in service,
Mr. Jones Leach Anan.

Dear Emily,
Thanks for your quick response,i really appreciate it
All i want is just a third party and that was the main reason why i
contacted you,i searched your e-mail address from commerce book and before then i've put every thing to God in prayers and i felt you're the right person for the deal.
Fine,seems you said you 're not in habit of given your e-mail address to strangers,seems you don't trust me as a stranger,why not open a new account for this transaction and i bet you,you'll never regret you did.Because this is a life time oppotunity for us to be realy rich and i'm planning to resign after this transaction has been completed 'cos i that the amount involve is no joke to let go.
Be rest assured that this transaction is risk free as i'm the head of the bank i'll use my position and influence to obtain all legal
approvals for onward transfer of this money to your account with appropriate clearance from the relevant ministries and foreign exchange departments.But all i need from you is your full co-operation because it is for the betterment of both of us.
Hoping to read from you soonest
Yours in service
