a friend has been contacted by a so call co based in the usa basically informed him he has got 800 odd k in unclaimed prize! asked to open 2 new bamk accounts so they can send the money to him in two payment each account, he has spoken to the co and they say the money will be transfered very soon. I assume he will be asked to pay a fee any time now to cover the fees commision etc etc , have told him not to bother but hes convinced its legit as he does lots of competitions etc etc .. any one throw some more light. personally I would have reported it but there you go .. oh dear...

Sorry guys but this one is real.

I did the same and they sent all the cash through. I bought a super yacht and a Virgin Galactic flight from Lagos to Port Harcourt.

I can't be bothered to write down all the details of how I went about it, but might be persueded to for a few quid, say 20 of your british pounds? Send to my paypal.

Stop it girls! silly

If your mate won't listen, all you can do is try to make sure he doesn't hand any money over.

If he still does then eventually you will have to go into 'I told you so' mode...

Strange one to have spelling difficulties with.

Why would your friend need to open two bank accounts?

Has he researched the "company" involved?
