What are the latest scams for people looking to distribute money in another country?

One of the scams is to ask that you 'become' someone's heir i.e. family member for a person that has died and left millions of dollars in a foreign bank. Then they ask you to transfer the money to your account but you are not suppose to tell anyone of the transaction. They ask for a passport picture and other personal information. They tell you that you will get a percentage for your participation.\n\nIf you see this type of email, DON'T DO IT!

nigeria is corrupt. Lot of scammers live there...\nBeware of unsolicited letters or emails from a Nigerian or other foreign government official requesting assistance in the transfer of excess funds from a foreign country into your bank account.

Hi yes, there is a site called MyLot and yes it does work, no it isn't a scam and yes people really do get paid, I'm not on it myself because I don't usually go on the internet much, but I have a few friends who use it and they have either been paid themselves, or their friends have been paid. I had a look and it seems a decent site, it's better than this one because they actually pay users for using it. You must have a Paypal account or, I think the other is an ESCROW account, they only can make payments to certain countries too, I know they can pay if you live in the UK or the USA, the payments are in US$ and you can decide whether you want your first payment when you reach $10, $20, $50, or $70 I think, I'm not 100% sure about that though, but I'm 100% sure that it's no scam!

Get a check card.\nSome places will also allow you to send money orders, but its really best to get a debit or credit card so if you get scammed you can get your money back.

Let me see, you need my bank account number, right?  Perhaps some up front money?\n\nSorry, I already sent my money to Nigeria to that guy who just needs a US bank account to hide the money from that King.\n\nPlease..  Spare us.

Anything that comes out of Nigeria is a scam.Be careful about the UK also because they use that as an address for scams. Lotteries are also scams. Use your head when you get emails like that.

I can send you Anonymous Debit Cards ($500 USD Maximum) but Debit Cards are for making purchases not to make deposits.\n\nI suggest you to use PayPal if you want to receive money from others. All they need is your email address.\n\nYou can also open a NUMBERED ACCOUNT just like the accounts Terrorists, Drug Dealers, Arms Dealers and Spies use in the Films to transfer money from one country to another.\n\nIf you need more help with your money transfers drop me a line.

Best thing for you to do is to delete the message straightaway. I'm from UK and too many scams by post as well as by the internet... there's no new about that... it's just one of the problems around UK, so don't mind that.

www.211.com is your best bet. There have been so many people that have scamming internet users out of money that they have become weary of helping strangers. Sad, yes, but very true. The only other thing you can is is go to www.geocities.com and make a personal website telling your situation and why you need money.

In case you missed the sarcasm in the last post, I strongly advise you to make sure you are not about to ripped off.  I am willing to bet that you have been approached by somebody offering to give you lots of money if you only first give them a small amount of money.  I'm sure that less than $80 seems like a small investment to make $20,000 USD or whatever.  If this is what you are involved in, run away now!  Read up on Nigerian scams.\n\nI hope I am wrong.
