    Hey everyone,

    Just returned from an OS trip, and have a very a nice collection of 2 dozen emails from some really nice people who want to use my bank account do deposit their 15 million US dollars into…

    Apparently i will get 1.5 million out of it….

    Anyway seriously… is there a Gov’ Body i can fwd these emails to?? erasing them just seems to easy!

    Wonder what would happen if i gave them a new account i had just opened, say with 20 cents in it?

    Thanx!

    Jason :)

    Hi Jason,

    ASIC deals with this sort of thing and has much info on their website about these scams
    http://fido.asic.gov.au/fido/fido.nsf.
    But it has been my experience that it is a waste of time contacting them.I once lost 40 big ones in a scheme that turned out to be a scam,and even though it was under their umbrella,they did nothing to help me.I would just delete the emails and forget it,but that’s just my opinion!

    Hey Jason- welcome back!

    Jason- give them some of your money- you never know- some of them might be for real and you might make a squillion! hehe.

    Anyway, overseas doesn’t mean you couldn’t still be on the forum. [:)]

    Hope you hads a nice time there :)
