New Nigerian Online Scam

Nigerian Hackers have managed a new scheme called "Help" to swindle money out of you. It starts with a small amounts, and God know what those Idiots are upto!
They give a small window of time to operate and skim out money!

Divya called me to verify, and laughed about it. She has also posted it now in her blog!

What a way to swindle people! I believe the email was sent to my wife's email id too!

I promptly informed my friends and the authorities and blocked my email id.

Please take care and inform others.

This is the text of the message Divya got in her gmail box, from my Yahoo id.

First those hackers did few mistakes.

1. The sent to two women, thinking that one might be the wife
2. They didn't know the fact that mail exchanges were there as late as few hours before.
3. They typed his name wrong, and the signature style is different
