You should remember the scam that was going around a few years ago about
helping out some Prince in Nigeria with his millions of dollars but he needs
you to cash his check, or something like that.
Well we have a new one going around.
The email starts out with basic information,
and may even be preceeded by "feeler" emails with even less information
to gain your confidence or gather other information. Then... some where
along the line you would be asked to either send a check or probably your
banking information. This could, and may be solicited through you trying to
sell funiture, your computer or whatever. If you get one of these emails send
it off to the FBI tips
Tell
all your buddies about this scam.
