Have you ever had an offer that was just too good but you had to make up your mind right away, the offer won’t last? You can be sure that such an offer is really too good to be true. It is 99.9% sure to be a scam. The good offer will be available for today, tomorrow and next week. Avoiding scams by applying this as a gauge will help you or your loved one to hold onto your hard earned money.
Common elements of scams are that the money you are to have at the end of the transaction is a wind fall for you and the scammer, you need to spend money to get the money and there is a slightly underhanded feel to the whole thing. There is NO logical reason why someone you have never met, living in Nigeria (or other third world country) needs your help to get a large sum of money out of the country. One new twist on the Nigerian scam is to involve a reference to the FBI that implies that you will be arrested if you do not respond. There is nothing to fear from the FBI if you have done nothing wrong, you know nothing about this money, don’t fall for this one.
