This is a simple scam. They are trying to get your info. Maybe if you respond they might ask for money, or more info. Something to note in this email is the email return address. Although this email claims to be from the UN, and claims your money is in Africa, the .ph at the end of the e-mail suggest that this was sent from the Philippines. They are obviously not being honest.

The "You're not being Scammed... Really" Scam
This scam is truly a work of art. It claims that the other scam that you fell for isn't a scam. Instead, it claims, you have not received the money because this guy is holding it up. Of course, he will help you get the money... But you have to deal with him, and not the other scammers. This scam is actually trying to steal a scam victim from other scammers. It is odd, however, that I continue to get these in the mail even though I have never responded to one.
Scam e-mail Below:
Dear Sir/Ma,
After a serious thought, i decided to reach you directly and personally because i do not have anything against you, but your Nigerian partners. I am a Director in charge of Wire Transfer/Telex Section at the central bank of Nigeria, Sometime in the past your Nigerian partners approached me through a friend of mine who works with one of the ministries here and requested that i assist them conclude a money transfer deal, they told me to help program the transfer to you.
According to them, they wanted to use this strategy to transfer a huge Amount of United States dollars, the money has been floating in the CBN suspense account since then. we agreed that once i do this, they would give me $USD100,000.00 and give me another $USD100,000.00 when i release the fund to your account. When they saw that i have programmed it and your name has been approved among the list of those to be paid, instead of giving me the agreed deposit of us$100,000.00, they started avoiding me and resorted to threats. I immediately deleted the transfer code of the fund, which is only known to me because of my position, and released other contractors? fund and inheritance payments without yours. They became angry. When they saw that their threat did not work, they started bribing other officials to get another approval to transfer the money to you without success. i want you to know that i am 100% responsible for the delay and obstructions because of their breach of trust.
If you doubt what i have just told you, then consider what has transpired through out your claim process, they continue to ask you to pay money and at the end no result and they still tell you to another fee with any result yet, they are simply wicked. Now if you want us to work together, these are my conditions.
1. I will have 20% of the money because it is only the two of us left for now.
2. You will assist my son to open an account in your country where i will pay in my own share.
3. It will be useless and mere waste of time and money if you continue with any other person, so we will conclude this transaction with utmost
secrecy with the above telephone and email only.
4. You will provide me with your private telephone, mobile and a private email to facilitate easy communication between you and I only. If these conditions are acceptable to you, contact me as soon as possible to let us finalize, so that the funds can be released to your account after due protocols has been observed. But if you are not interested, i advice you to forget the fund and stop wasting your time with your so called partners.

Nigerian Western Union Scam
This is an interesting scam attempt. It Claims to be compensation for people who have been scammed (apparently believing that if you can fool someone once, they must be easy to fool.) It claims to have 7.5 mill that it will distribute to you in 5k chunks, every 3 hours. Why would anyone do that? It then claims that you must pay them $350 so the can start sending you the 5k every 3 hours. Why wouldn't they take it out of the first 5k? oh right, because there is no 5k, nor is there a 7.5 mill. this is a scam that should be clear to anyone.

Runescape Fisher Scam
This is a fisher scam. I have never played Runescape, so it is easy for me to tell it is a scam. Notice the bottom line that was a originally a link to "log into your account" it looks legit right? (I turned off the link so you guys don't accidentally go there). In the process of turning off the link, I noticed that although it says it goes to a secure server at runescape.com, the actual code would have sent you to this address: http://www.scsrxx.com/js/? Always check the URL of the page you land on before entering information. If you did have a runescape account, and got this e-mail, close the email, close your browser, reopen your browser, and physically type the URL for runescape. That way if the email was legit, it would have the same info when you legitimately went to their site.

Miss. Bale Umama Scam
Again, never trust someone who wants a "trustworthy" person to help them commit a crime. If they are admitting to doing something shady, they obviously have no problem scamming people they don't know (that's why you got the e-mail)
Scam e-mail Below:
My Dear,
I know this proposal letter might be a pleasant surprise to you as we don't know ourselves before. I am Miss. Bale Umama a Liberian born 25 years ago, now seeking asylum in Dakar Senegal under (UNHCR) I contacted you as a cause of my serious search for a reliable and trust worthy person that can handle a confidential transaction.
My father (Late) Dr. Johnson Umama the former Deputy Minister of Finance under the executive civilian president of Liberia, but was assassinated by the rebels during the civil war and properties destroyed, but I narrowly escaped with some very important documents of (US$7.5M) Seven Point Five Million U.S Dollars deposited by my late father in a high financial company here in Dakar-Senegal under my name as next of kin.
However, I seek with the problem of securing a trust worthy foreign personality like you to help me transfer this money pending when I will come over to your country for us to meet for investment of the money. Furthermore, I only want this to be done this way because your country is politically stable for any profitable investment, and I also want to add here that if accepted by you, you will serve as the original beneficiary of the money.
I feel confidence therefore, to introduce this offer to you. For your participation and all your assistance regarding this transfer, I have decided to give you 15% of the total money. Therefore, you are requested to furnish me back immediately you receive this request to transfer this money from Dakar Senegal to your country residence account or any account of your interest.
On commencement of this transaction I want to let you understand that the future of myself depends solely on this money. So please keep this business to yourself only to avoid raise eye brow of any third party.
I am eagerly expecting your urgent response.
Yours Sincerely
Miss. Bale Umama.

Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation Scam
I believe that rule #1 for any criminal is "don't involve people you don't know unless it is to make them the fall guy" This e-mail is an obvious scam because they are asking a complete stranger to handle the money they illegally acquired.

Well, my father died earlier 1 year ago and left I and My father was a king, which our town citizens titled him over sixteen years before his death.I was a princess to him and I am the only person who can take care of his wealth now because my late mother is also late two years ago before the death of my Late father.
He left the sum of USD 8,700, 000.00 dollars (Eight Million, Seven Hundred Thousand US Dollars) in a prime bank in Abidjan Cote D'ivoire.
This money was annually paid into my late fathers account from Gold Exploring companies operating in our locality for the compensation of youth and community development in our jurisdiction. I don't know how 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,
I urgently need your humble assistance to move this money from the bank to your bank account after which i come over to meet with you. and I strongly believe that by the grace of God, you will help me invest this money wisely.

Another Diablo 3 Scam
This scam is yet another fisher attempt to try to get your game account information for Diablo 3. As someone who does not own or play Diablo 3 it is obvious to me that this is fake. It uses similiar techniques to other fisher scams like this. It accuses the gammer of breaking the game rules, then asks for your login info (some scams give you a link to a fake login screen). Once they get your login info, they will liquidate all your in-game items, and then sell the game currency they receive for real world money.
