Most South Africans are famous for illegal activities like drug,smuggling and the above scams. Police should keep eye on such people movements. Readers... some times the email comes with beautiful picture as daughter of a rich business man. How nice if it would have been real.

These people, mainly from Nigeria will do any dirty trick to cheat others. They will print the draft of an international bank and cheat others to buy goods. Any e-mail with great offer from unknown people are simply a cheating game. Thousand of old and unsuspecting people have been cheated in the U.S. too as easy target of this conning. Greed will force people to this trap.

Will you not want free money? definitely not. There is nothing called free money. Certainly there will be some strings attached to these offers. Moral of the story is, stay way from greed and be happy with your hard earned money. thank you

I feel sorry for those who are greedy to make money the easy way. People all over the world have burnt their fingers in this scam. Hats off to the Nigerians who sold a story that the gullible bought, and are now regretting. Madoff in the USA made $65 billion in his ponzi scheme and is now languishing in jail. If you have money to spare, send it to charity, or to me and I will surely thank you for the same.

It has taken me three years to educate one elderly person on this subject - who has loads of other business sense. It always tickles me and makes me think twice before deleting such email even though I know for sure that it is scam and spam! What do you think a lay person will do who believes emails to be harmless piece of shit?!?!

These people have many different stories. Few months back I saved a Saudi colleague of mine from sending 6500 Saudi riyals to these kind of people. They fooled promised him a job in UK with very high salary and asked processing fees.

The display names of the email sent by them was some hospital names of London, but actually those were hotmail email address. This made me suspicious and warned my friend. I searched the number of those hospital through internet. He called the hospital and confirmed those people were cheaters. So friends, be aware, wealth comes only by hardworking.

I receive this kind of email every second day. Most of those crooks are from Nigeria, which is the most corrupt country in the world. Normally they target people from the Mid-East Countries. They write it in such a way that they don''t trust you and this way you start trusting them.

A person with little common sense would definitely come to know that it is nothing but cheating. We have to think how an unknown person can send mail to us and trust us when millions of dollars are at stake. These crooks have been successful in duping many Arabs and foreigners in the Gulf Countries. Recently I read a news article that even in Canada many people have fallen prey to these fraudsters.

Even Shareef is to be blamed here. He too was greedy and was doing something not within the protocol. Now if everything went well Shareef would have acted to be a nice man and continued. Use of common sense is most important here. There are lot of fraud cases happening this way through emails.

Feels realy sad & pitty, who were trapped in this racket. Guys, please use common sence before wishing to become rich overnight. why on earth who wants to donate or if you have won some lottery wants your money in advance. If they want to give money, let them deduct the money required to register or transfer the fund before sending.

Even today Ii got a call saying that I have won a big amount from Etisalat & asked me to call back & not to inform this news to anyone. I told him why dont you donate this money to some poor instead of sending the big money to me. He got upset & started abusing me. I replied back saying that the police will be soon arresting you. He discontected the line.

Vinitha, the article clearly says that the fraudsters first asked Shareef to transfer Euro 29,500/- which is already a big amount. Then finally Shareef says that he has till date transferred euros 80,000/- which is almost half a million dirhams. Why did he transfer Euros the 2nd and third time according to their demands? Why did he not discuss this with someone. Yes anyone would like free money but when one is demanded to give money then that does not become free and that is when a question mark should be put.

I totally agree with you Mr Sheikh Ashrafulla, Bengaluru. There are lots of fraud e-mails circulating over the net almost for more than a decade but people still get fooled by fraudsters. I receive almost weekly basis one or the other type of fraud mails. Like some millionaire left money, or your email has won lottery, you have ed for job in Shell, help for cancer patient, orphaned daughter of millionaire seeking assistance so on. Since we dont have common forum people still get cheated.

Why cant we put all the mails we received/receiving to a common forum, I request permission of Daiji, so that we can use some flatform to keep the people about forms of emails.

Nobody is a fool in today''s world. Even if you toil day and night it is not possible to make such money so which fool on earth will give you such money free. It is only greed that makes one a fool. I used to get many such Nigerian emails and usually used to them but I thought I should put an end to this nonsense. So the next time I got an email saying that I was the lucky chosen one, and inorder to get the winning money, I am supposed to send them a sum of USD100,000/- and my bank account details.

 I replied to them that with regards to the transfer of USD100,000/-, to deduct this from my winning amount and balance to send a DD in my name (I made up some name, account number and address) as I knew this was a scam. Believe me till date I have not received the next email from anyone which means this group is networking. So the moral is we should be smart and not greedy when we get such emails or SMS.

As most of the readers commented, this type of fraud schemes existed long before. While there is no single forum where all such fradulent schemes can be posted for all of us to learn or become aware of,it is only impending on all of us to use our greatest gift from God, ie, "common Sense" and "presence of mind''. If we use these, then, we all can be saved from falling prey to such fraud schemes.

Also, solicit views and advice from friends, experts and relatives, before commiting to such schemes, which will prove very beneficial. Although Mr. Sharif lost money, he may have lost his life, had he visited Nigeria, thereby falling into the trap of a well organized Nigerian fraudsters.

I think sharif lost his illegal wealth to these fraudesters. Such emails and some phone calls are very common in middle east and people want to become rich overnight without any hardwork and efforts.

Shareef is a fool to respond to such e-mails. In our office we get atleast 3 such e-mails, which straight away goes to the trash bin. The money Shareef sent to them is not his hard earned monery, but made from wrong business, otherwise he would have thought twice before trusting somebody''s words that "he had been chosen to inherit a fortune of $15 million left by a millionaire and that he should reach the African city of Burkina Faso to receive it". Shareef, if you still have more money to spend, use common sense before venturing into a business, otherwise stop crying.
