What do these have in common?

They all want my help in smuggling millions of dollars into the US!

I would sporadically get on of these every now and then. Telling me about amazing opportunities for quick riches. I remember spending many nights with some people trying to convince them how ill fated these schemes are only to end up in a shouting contest. And me finally throwing my arms in the air in frustration saying, "Fine, do what you want. Just don't come back crying when they steal your money.

The dreams of fast riches are all these people play on. Get 30% of 15 million. Not bad for a day's job isn't it?

What was surprising that I got hit by 7 or 8 of these in my inbox all of a sudden! From all different locations, Weird!

Anyway, to cut a long story short, beware of these schemes. These are:

1. NOT REAL
   (There isn't anyone in the world interested in giving YOU millions just for sitting on your butt)
2. Illegal,
   There is no way smuggling money is legal. These have to be declared and the source and destinations registered with the Government's where the money is to be transferred to or from
3. Unethical,
   If you're smuggling hard currency for real from your country to somewhere else, you are really taking something that doesn't really belong to you. And even letting foreigners on your little scheme but not your country, however torn by war or disasters it might be

Make sure you stir away from these, don't even respond to them. If you have the little "'report & delete" option then select it. Otherwise, totally ignore them. 

A little while ago, Bakkouz decided to have some fun with one of them, here's what he had to say here:Me and the scammer
