I got this in my inbox today, read carefully, i definatly think it isnt spam. Read it all please, i need to verify if this is spam or not:

[quote]Good day and Compliments,

I got your contact from the internet, and picked interest to write you.I am a
female student of University of Cotonou Republic Du Benin. I am 24 yrs old. I'd
like any person who can be caring, loving and home oriented. I will love to have
a long-term relationship with you and to know more about you. I would like to
build up a solid foundation with you in time coming if you will be able to help
me in this transaction.



Well, my father died earlier two months ago and left me and my younger brother
behind. He was a king, which our town citizens titled him before he died. I was
a princess to him and I am the only person who can take care of his wealth now
because my younger brother is still a kid and my mother is not literate enough
to know my entire father's wealth.



He left $27,350,000 [Twenty Seven Million Three Hundred and Fifty Thousand
Dollars)with The Union Bank Swiss Finance London United Kingdom(UBS) and I don't
know how to start up with the whole thing and what I will do to invest

this money somewhere in abroad, so that my father's kindred will not take over
what belongs to my father and his name, which they are planning to do without my
consent because I am a female as stated by our culture in the town. That is why
I felt happy when I saw your contact because I strongly believe that by the
grace of God, you will surely help me invest this money. I am ready to pay 20%
of the total amount to you if you will sincerely help us in this business and
another 10%interest of annual income to you, for handling this business for us,
which you will strongly have absolute control over.



If you will handle this project sincerely and also willing to assist me in
lifting this fund, kindly reach me and I will link you to The Union Bank Swiss
Finance London United Kingdom (UBS) for further agreement. Please, note that
this transaction is 100% risk free and I hope to commence the

transaction as quickly as possible,



I look forward hearing from you soonest.



Yours sincerely,



Princess Naomi Williams Ajana.[/quote]

My local newspaper reported a guy who fell for this kind of scam. He lost a total of 3 grand before he finally caught on he was being tricked.

I've seen a lot of these around. They're all scams.

Things like this are just too good to be true guys ;p I'd never give out my personal info over the internet unless it's internet banking stuff if you have a good antivirus program.

Fake. Its the same as the e-mails people get from the ex-king of Zimbabway, or from the princess of Canada (Dr Evil).
