SCAM, plus sounds like money laundering too!!! haha how do people fall for this?

Obvious and very common scam as everybody has pointed out.

 

Just to hilight something though that Jenxy has mentioned; money laundering!

I believe that all UK banks now have to look into any deposit over about £4,500 that goes into any account.

Obviously there is something in place for business accounts so they don't check every deposit, but any amount that is out of the ordinary or from a different source gets looked at and needs to be documented.

So even if there was a very kind gentleman over in Tunisia that wanted you to clear a few hundred million dinar, you wouldn't be able to do it.

I have seen these things before- African Bank Transfer Fraud. They will first try and gain your trust possibly even sending you small cheques which do clear. Then they will ask for your bank details to transfer the money and then they will clear your account. Alternitavely they will say that there are some legal fees or other fees that must be paid and you will have to pay these fees if you want to receive the money. This way gets around any chance that the bank will realise and block the withdrawal. Either way you are going to lose a lot of money if not all of it. If you think that something seems dodgy then it probably is - IGNORE IT!
