Personally, I find it quite funny and rather naive, undoubtedly an artist of blarney like those who live in Africa.

  They target people who only check their emails and who are unaware of online scams. To help them, we need to talk about it as much as possible. For those of you who surf a lot, it seems obvious; others fall for it. So, they are neither funny nor naive, far from it, Mr. Toto.

Hello

THIS IS A REAL SCOOP!!

See you

PS: Phone code for Ghana = +233,
+225 = Ivory Coast.

Hotmail.fr = France?? Not necessarily, I have .fr addresses, and I can assure you that I do not reside in mainland France (Gott, thanks a lot!)

Hi, I just received the same thing in the form of an email from FLY EMIRATES & MICROSOFT with the email address of a bailiff, Master Jean Didier LAFOND.... in New York. The amount won is €350,000 with conditions: invest 10% of the winnings in internet promotion in my country, not to use it for illegal acts, commit to paying the legalization fees of my file to the court in my country of origin, and additionally provide a copy of an ID, bank account details, electricity bill, and tax notice... It's amazing globalization, you can get scammed by anyone from anywhere!

Here is another scam; if anyone comes across it, do not respond. Maybe one day when no one gets fooled anymore and they stop earning anything, they will stop? Hope keeps us alive.

I just received an email saying that I won 350,000 euros from a lottery via FLY EMIRATES & Microsoft, under the control of bailiff Juan Garcia Cano, 250 Vesey Street, New York, NY 10281, United States. Supposedly blocked at SCB (Standard Chartered Bank). Response to claim the prize: email address: cabinet.maitre.mé***@***. Scam? Or not?
Thank you for replying.

  These are scams to obtain information from you. You will have a double life... the other person will take out loans in your name, open accounts, and then one day the police will come to your house looking for you for fraud, even though you haven't done anything. Come on, show some common sense! Since when is money earned so easily, not even with our lottery!!...

  yesterday I received an email from Microsoft Corporation telling me that I won 250,000 euros and this lottery came from Africa, and it's one of my friends who is there and saw my name on TV, so I am not responding.

Hello,
I also received this message recently claiming that I supposedly won 100,000 euros, and that I needed to contact Maître Jean Richard Bernois, his email address being maitre.jean_richard_bernois@hotmail.fr and his phone number (00225) 670 496 70.
I realize after looking it up online that it's a scam.

    The topic is obviously still open, especially since the "applicants," both scammers and scammed, are plentiful...
    
    Ultimately, in a few centuries this might still be relevant, much like the three-card trick which dates back to ancient times and continues to be exploited...

  I just received one as well for 675,000€ but the bailiff is in London, Master Fabre, 20 Craven Park, Church End & Roundwood. He only asks for my name, which he already has, my address and my phone number, and whether I want to go to London or if I can't, how I want to receive my winnings - by check or bank transfer.

I just received an email like that the day before yesterday and I feel really stupid after realizing that it's a scam from Ivory Coast. I didn't send my ID number or bank account details, but I did send this information (name, first name, age, country, city, address, postal code, profession, phone number, and family situation). Should I be worried about this?! Otherwise, how can I report them, and thank you for responding!
