Sum1 from abroad needs to to transfer £5m tomy account in uk, im unemployed wit basic bank account wot do i do

You're an idiot.

This sounds indicative of a huge scam, so I would steer well clear or you will lose money!

5million? well for a start i would ask for 15%... but i think this may be a scam! unless you know the dude! if you do, he needs to do it.. with your bank details he would transfer from his to yours!

Send them a very abusive reply, insulting their mothers and generally dissing them. Then report the email by forwarding it to your service provider. Your provider may have a special email address for this.

just send him your bank account number, sort code, pin number address, phone number, credit card numbers, mothers maiden name, e-mail password and - just to be on the safe side - send him a scan of your passport details, too

Don't reply to idiot get rich quick scam e-mails :) Or are you trying to scam someone here into giving you their bank details because you only have 'Basic' bank account... Sorry if that is harsh, but this scam has been on the TV news and has been all over the internet for years... how could you possibly fall for it or even worse, try and scam someone here?

Erghh I would be a little concearned here, do you know this person? and do you know them well? If so and you know where the money has come from, Go to your bank and discuss with the Branch Manager. When a large sum of money or exessive cash is paid into any UK bank account, that could look a bit suspisious, or not normal transaction history for the account, the Fraud departments will be notified.... you dont want to get yourself in Big Trouble for Money Laundering etc???? also why cant the person concearned open a UK bank account? why do they need to use yours? I worked for a Bank years ago....! Make sure you know what you are getting into!

It might the same guy who contacted me - he told me I could claim $20 million so I sent him my bank details and my inside leg measurement and still haven't heard from him. Funnily enough though I had baliffs round last night to take away my tele, and I'm badly overdrawn. His name was Del Boy

This is a scam for definate. I get emails like this nearly every other day from all different people. They usually send from a hotmail address and ask you to reply to a Yahoo address. Also, if it were for real, and they did work for a big bank in Nigeria or whatever lie they told you, there email address would surely not be hotmail or yahoo. Please dont reply to any of their emails and put them straight into your junk folder!
