Haven't you heard of this scam? It's called the Nigerian or 419 scam. A lot of people with more greed than sense have lost money through this. There is more info at these sites..

Here in DC a treasurer of a local 7th Day Adventist church recently lost over a million dollars of church funds in this scam. The scammers will ask for an advance fee from you to "prove your good will" or to "pay fees" or some such. Needless to say, you can kiss that money goodbye!

When there is some trouble spot in Africa you'll start getting letters supposedly from that spot from people wanting you to "help" them get money out of the country.
