Dear All

This is a scam which is called "Advance Fee" Scam. This also called romance scam. The lady in question is orpahn and she is in reffuge camp of Dakkar, senegal. She want to escape from the reffuge camp and want to transfer a treasure of huge sum of money to your ACCOUNT

For transfering the huge treasure you need to pay advocate fee . You may will pay some time due to sympathy or for the tresure you can get large sum of money. This moeny is required to be paid through western Union moeny transfer. Finaly you can understood that there is no treasure exist.

Dont give any personal or other information of yours. For your sake iam sharing the same here.

Whatever you do, never send any money, no matter what reason you are given. Don't be greedy. Use your common sense.

The so-called "419" scam (aka "Nigeria scam" or "West African" scam) is a type of fraud named after an article of the Nigerian penal code under which it is prosecuted.

All the flooded PM from the newly members should be monitored by CCI Admin or moderators. Make an action for not flourishing such kind of things in CCI.
