They will ask you for your routing number to wire the money to you.......and they will do the exact opposite.......wipe your bank account CLEAN. Its a phishing scam. Heres why it works.......if .1% of America falls for it......thats thousands-hundreds of thousands of people....so if they steal 10 dollars.......which isnt much from 10000 people.....they just made a million with very little work. Its easy to setup a ponzi scam and charge maybe 5-6 million people with a $1 charge........most people would never notice it. Its been done......name your business Finance Charge.......so as soon as it hits there bank account........it will just say finance charge as the companys name........so they will just think the bank charged them a dollar........Bam easy million

Yep. It's a typical story for a scam probably from Nigeria by some guy in an internet cafe.

I've been tried by about 4 or 5 "women" who have money from their recently dead parents and they're stranded in Africa or something like this. Total scam.
