I open my email eHow inbox and thats what I found. It's pleg that america cant do anything about but ingore it. I have seen a show on tv and forgot the name of it but they went undercover to catch people who do this. They even said that the FBI cant do anything about it because the IP addresses are always for some reason to lead back to internet cafes. So they cant bust anyone because of that one specfic reason. These people who create these emails make themselves seem very desprate and in of help that they want to transfer a Large Amount of Money into your account and for doing so they will give a large amount in return. Whatever you do, do not reply or answer to these. With the tv show I was talking about they undercover and was wanting to "help" but in order to "help" these so called people in need, they wanted you to send them money first and give them your account numbers so they can "deposit" the money in your account. But heres the catch they never give you the money for "helping" or do they deposit money into your account. So please save yourself and many others by getting this message out and save yourself from the scams and frauds that these "helpless" people do.
