I got a message on my MSN thing today that was a little odd:

barristerjeo1: Hello, I am Barr Jeo Brown, I am the personal attorney to Mr Peru Casey, he used to work with Shell Inssurance Company in Nigeria.Now the Bank where the deceased had an account valued at about US$20.5 Million has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin to my late client or have the account confiscated. Can you assist me in claiming the domiciled fund, since you have the same last name with my late client. All the legal documents which will endores you the next of kin will be procured.

I'm trying to figure out if this is a scam and if so, what they are trying to scam from me.

I'm opting not to reply, but still I'm curious as to what they are hoping to get from me besides a: "sure I guess."

You respond yeah, they ask for your credit card number. Anything with Nigeria or Syria or one of those foreign countries involved is a scam.

They ask for your bank account number so they can wire you the money then take what ever is in it.

Frankly I'm surprised this is your first exposure to a 419 scam. People can hardly have an email address without getting at least one a month or so.

But they can be fun...

I've never gotten one. I do get plenty of "ENLARGE UR PENIS" emails though.
