Scams from Widows and Orphans: DAVID DUNBAR

Scam Money Transfers
Example - DAVID DUNBAR,
" I have made up my mind to contact you for assistance, after considering your outstanding performance in business", "make a transfer of US$12.5Million  to your Country"

Have you received an email from "DAVID DUNBAR", who says " I have made up my mind to contact you for assistance, after considering your outstanding performance in business"? And what follows is a convoluted sob story of one misery after another, along with a healthy dose of gibberish, spelling errors, terrible gram, syntax and punctuation, not exactly befitting an extremely wealthy person. And now, poor bereaved "DAVID DUNBAR", needs YOUR help to make a transfer of US$12.5Million  to your Country. Odd that they'd pick a total stranger, in a foreign country to trust their money to, don't you think?

Of course, it is a scam. Don't reply to it.
