Money laundering
Money Laundering - This is a scheme that have been around for many years, earlier on starting with people receiving letters and faxes, and now becoming more high tech with their email messages. The scheme tells you that the sender (most likely from a country in the African continent) has a large sum of money, seeks your assistance in transferring this amount into your bank account, and if successful, you will be offered a x percentage of this amount. Sounds too good to be true that they have actually identified you for this opportunity?
Pitfall : Many wise businessmen, and young teenagers have been lured into these schemes due to greed, and rumours have it that after following through with the transaction, some have even been killed after travelling to meet the sender, lost a lump sum of money from their bank account, or have their identities stolen for illegal crimes
