Hi there,

Someone close to me got a very typical 419 letter, through a contact request in Skype. Knowing that I have (very, very recently) started to bait scammers, they sent the message to me (I was actually on skype with them at the time it came in).

So, not sure how to go about this one, as there were parts that were surname specific on inheritance, and I don't want to go down the route of creating another character yet.

Advice?

If they have your Real Life name or other info. Post up details at ScamWarners and then Block them and move on.

Yuppers, two more cents please.

Like I say, it wasn't actually me, but someone close to me, so name, city of residence, I think that's all that's available on the public side of the skype profile. As I'm very new, please tell me what ScamWarners is?
