here is a warning to all!! .I have in the last three days, received two different emails pertaining to some one from another country or perhaps they are right here in the united states, they are trying to get me to give them my bank account # so that they may transfer a large sum of money into it and in return they will give
me quite a sum of the money...I go on christian websites and one is" crosswalk" and that seems to be where
they have gotten my email address to do this,one is a female and the other is a male.the male is using the
name "Felix Duru "- and wants me to send a reply to:felix_duru500@yahoo.fr
the female is using the name" Lydia Mathew" and wants me to send a reply to:lydiamathew888@yahoo.com
I remember from a while back that they were doing a story on wkrg5 on something almost like this,that is why this has not caught me by surprise, so now I need to know just what measures to take to report this to
whatever law inforcement that can handle this matter and prevent some one or ones from becoming victiums
of these people..has anyone else out there been contacted by these or others that are doing the same thing?
should I call the police? or what measure should I take? I have printed out both of the emails and have them on hand..one was sent to me last friday april 18th at 8:11am, and the other was sent to me last Saturday april 19th at 8:24 am. I am hoping that no one gets scammed by these and that they will get caught ASAP...please let all your friends be aware of this.... thanks

Anyone that has an email address gets those things on a regular basis. Delete them and never give it a second thought. I think 60 Minutes did a pretty good report on these types of scams.

If it sounds too good to be true, you can bet your bippy it isn't true and someone is out to take your last dime.
