writes "anita" wrote in message ws.com... 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 http://www.ncis.co.uk/advancefeefraud.asp The Met. Police say to only forward to them if the email contains fraudsters addresses, bank accounts, telephone numbers: http://www.met.police.uk/fraudalert/419.htm -- Chris French and Helen Johnson, Leeds urg Suppliers and References FAQ: http://www.familyfrench.co.uk/garden/urgfaq/index.html |

They have seen them all before. They have better things to do than sort through all the forwarded junk mails. And new ones? They're clairvoyant?

I have asked them if they want me to stop sending them, and received just an acknowledgement...... generated by a bot? I passed on Nigerian & French letters and never got any sort of an acknowledgement other than the occasional dawn raid. -- Martin |
