Not lately, I think the scammers have moved on to the emails from "banks" where you need to log in to your web banking account to verify something....

This is 99.9 % likely to be one of these Nigerian scams. Ignore ignore ignore.\n\nI'm modifying this to 100% once I read your question more carefully.  These scams have been going for years, but some people still fall for them.

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.

Sounds like a variation of the "Nigerian Scam" I bet they want your bank info? Don't under any circumstances give that info. To test them ask for a certified check to be mailed to you in good faith. They will quickly find someone elst to try to scam. Send a copy of their email to FBI internet fraud, see what they say. But I'll bet a dollar to a donut hole it is a scam.

Central Bank of Nigeria's e-mail address is actually info@cenbank.org\n\nTheir web site is http://www.cenbank.org/\n\nIf this is based on an e-mail and a promise of payment of a large sum of cash to help with a monetary transaction DO NOT BELIEVE IT. There are a ton of Nigerian scams on the Internet. Simply ignore it or better yet, report it to the authorities.

Not only are there thousands of 419 scammers in Nigeria, but they are now in almost every country of the world.  I know of the 419eater site, very good site.  Also, the Nigerians are all over ebay now.  For some time now, they have been doing romance scams on many of the popular dating sites online.  There is no dating site that is not safe from these scumbags.  There are thousands of Nigerian romance scammers in Lagos, Nigeria and Accra, Ghana.  They are also involved in counterfeit postal money orders, fake checks, american travelers express checks, and reshipping scams.  They target the older vulnerable lonely middle aged people on dating sites.\nWe get new scam victims daily that join our group.  Many have gotten swindled at match.com and yahoo personals.\nSome scammers work in teams and shifts.  It is no more than a regular business to them.  They laugh in your face and call you stupid.  They do not care about you as an individudal; rather, they hate your guts.  co moderator of the anti scammers yahoo group.

As an experienced broker and working with top executive members of (ICEP) who are also my close associates, I have all secret details and necessary contacts for claim of the funds without any hitch.\n \nWe are willing to offer you as much as 20% of the entire funds and after the transaction has been completed.
