I am currently representing a guy who responded to one of these emails and received a money order from Africa for $25,000 and deposited it and turned around and bought 2 money orders for $12,500 each and sent them out to the designated payees. The original money order proved to be a counterfeit and he is stuck. He said he was just trying to help out a seeemingly distraught and pleading victim of repression in an African country. It is amazing what these slimeballs will do to try and con people by the internet.
