Fortunately, you do seem to have a sixth sense that this scheme is totally off-the-wall.  When they talk about a return of 200% in 18 months is when you have to start laughing.\n\nIt's not a question of legal or not.  The scheme is offshore and you seem to be in the US.  There's no international body of law that could protect you.  If you're in Malaysia, perhaps the securities legislation of that country would provide some protection against pirates, but then, if you're in Malaysia you'd know that.\n\nIf you're not in Malaysia there's nothing to prevent Sunshine from disappearing with the loot.\n\nIn case you missed my point, please find something else for your hard-earned savings!

Unfortunately scams like this happen so much that the government can't help everyone.  My mom was also scammed out a few hundred dollars.  Report him on the internet with pic and everything so people get an idea to avoid him so that he can't dupe anyone else.  Involve the media in your area.  Some news organizations like to take on stories like your and they help many people as well that are in your position.  I hope this helps.  We couldn't do anything about the guy that scammed us.  We did follow him to his house and found that he lives quite comfortably in a condo most likely purchased from the stolen money he took from many people.

That was a scam?  \n\nWonder if I can get by old job back.  ;(\n\nI just have to hold on a little while longer.  My friend Abdule is sending me $20,000,000 for helping him out with a money transaction.  Those Nigerian banks sure are slow!

I use http://www.interbankfx.com and have used http://www.oanda.com in the past.  I don't know if they'd provide service to you in Malaysia, but they've both worked well for me and I've withdrawn funds with no problems.\n\nI have heard stories of fraudulent brokerages, but a lot of times people are just upset with their brokerages because of how much money they've lost at them.

Yes it is defo a scam. I bet he says it's from someone who has deceased and he needs a next of kin( which is you). He will say that you don't need to send any money to him as he's accounted for that and all admin costs etc. Then when you are getting really keen he will say he needs money from you to cover your registration fees as you are a foreigner. Then he will say your cheque is waiting and he needs you to send him some money to cover insurance of the money etc.\nIf you pass this up, you will probably hear from him in a month or two, saying he is doing really well and to thank you for you effort he has given an accountant some money for you. Then they will ask for you to send him money to release your money etc. Bla Bla Bla.\nLook at his email he sent you then look at the time it was sent, go to this site http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/ and look at roughly what country he is in. \nSometime they will say they are in Spain and the time on the Email says it's from Johannesburg.\nEither way no-one gives someone they don't know free money. If you get any other emails promising this sort of thing Delete them immediately and don't open them. If you need any further help please visit my site.  www.bakerinvestigations.co.uk

Do a Google search for the phrase "nigerian bank scam".  The email that you received is one of the most common scams on the  internet.  \n\nSome poor soul passed away, leaving behing millions of dollars and you as the only known heir.  An attorney or some government official wants to get the money out of the country and wants to pay you a percentage.  Suddenly, they need money for transaction fees or bribes.  You send them money and suddenly you never hear from them again.\n\nI get lots of these emails.  Law enforcement doesn't have time to deal with it.  I forward a copy of the email to the abuse department of the ISP were it came from and leave it at that.

Read this page and always check anything you received in unsolicited e-mail on this page: http://www.snopes.com/crime/fraud/nigeria.asp\n\nThere are many variants on this scam now, pretending to be from almost anywhere in the world. The up-shot is that it is a scam that takes advantage of our greed.

Thats almost certainly a scam. Its a common scam where people say "oh your reletive has left you lots of money, please send some money to cover xyz costs or give us your bank details"\n\nNever give out your personal details from unsolicited emails like that. Just delete it.

More than spam...the link takes you to Nigeria where you are asked for personal financial details. I also get really genuine looking emails from my UK bank asking me to confirm account details...again, avoid these at all costs. The old saying is that if it looks to good to be true, it probably isn't true.

I received a letter from this group stating that I won an award, I threw it in the trash and started investigating. It is a fraudulent organization. Also, be aware that a letter is being circulated in which a person posing as an artist is looking for someone to open an account in their country in order to accept money orders and send the cash to them in the Netherlands. Don't fall for this ploy. A lady accepted a large sum of money in the form of Money Orders from a person who wanted to move to the U. S. The person, a few days later, wanted her to send two thousand dollars to him, stating that it was an emergency, \nshe sent the money only to find out that the money orders had been stolen and she was out two thousand dollars and had a visit from the authorities. Let's use our smarts in these situations.
