My father is a banker in Wisconsin and he has known some people who have
given out their account numbers and have had money taken from these types of
scams.
I, as well, caution anyone not to give anyone this type of information.

This is a big scam and many people have lost their life savings. Whatever
you do DO NOT GIVE them your account number or else you are history.

I get it from some other sick Foday Sonko diamonds  deal and from Gabon and
even from someone in south africa claiming to have millions in Mandela's
money.

It is a hoax and dangerous . I believe it is all from right here in the us
by some unscrupulous crooks using african names .
