Some guy trusts me and his dad died and basicly wants to give me about 6 million dollar.
Im glad this forum has such trustworthy people who even trust giving me 6 million dollar!
I was wondering if there are more people who like to give me cash for free?:D
(and why this forum is still so badly protected against spam that now i even begin to get pm's)

Here the quote. I am a bit unconfortable sharing such a "private message".
My dear,

I am Michael Nkum from Ivory Coast and I am contacting you because I need your help in the management of a sum of money that my dead father left for me before he died.

This money is (Six Million Five Hundred Thousand United states dollars) and the money is in a bank here in Abidjan the capital city. My father deal on Gold, Cocoa and Timber export and he was poisoned by his brothers associated with business colleagues and now I want you to stand as my guardian and appointed beneficiary and receive the money in your country since I am only 20 years and without mother or father.

I will detail you more once i hear from you, Kindly reply me through this my private email for more details (michealnkum@yahoo.com)

Michael Nkum ( michealnkum /at/ y a h o o. c o m)

Those are called 419 scams. There are a lot of people tricking the scammers. Read some of these and you will have a good laugh:

Welcome to the 419 Eater

The act of doing the opposite; scamming a scammer is called scambaiting.
