If something sounds too good to be true... it usually is!
As I also run several businesses I get loads of these. In fact in the days before email I used to get them through the post with beautiful letterheadings (should have kept them probably collecots items now). I am always amazed by the fact that they come from someone at XYZ Bank or ABC Lottery Company but somehow always have , or addresses ...hmmm

I got the one from the representative of a Nigerian prince who needed a UK bank account in order to deposit millions of pounds.
All he needed was my bank details. I was so tempted - for about a nano-second.
Basic advice given for every email like this is - if you didn't ask for them to send it - NEVER EVER answer it. The sad thing is how many people fall for them. The sentence for being vulnerable and maybe a little too trusting should not be to lose your life-savings and identity.

They were originally known as the 419 scams
The easy ones to spot are the ones claiming to be from exiled Princes, businesses and the like but more and more are turning to dating sites and places like Facebook, Tagged and Myspace.
The thing is never EVER give out personal information unless you're 100% positive they are who they say they are. They're not that easy to spot as they use stolen photographs and identities and they've been doing it for so long, they're very very good at it.
People who have been taken in by them aren't stupid - it's just that they're good at what they do
