Hi everyone

Sorry for this OT question, but i don't know what to do.
I have been sent an email from someone in africa asking for help and
bank details, i know this is a con, but are we to report this to
someone , i remember seeing something on tv and reports in news, and i
can not remember if i should just delete it or report it.
Thanks
anita

Report it to your local police. They should have a fraud department
that will be
interested in it.

Most likely not, unless the letter contains useful info.

In the UK NCIS advise that they don't want any sent to them

The Met. Police say to only forward to them if the email contains
fraudsters addresses, bank accounts, telephone numbers:
