Here is a page on Nigeria scams that should cover most of them.

Remember the old adage: If it sounds too good to be true.....

I can't understand how anyone can fall for these Nigerian-Government-Official scams. Put yourself in the place of this supposed official who has millions of dollars to get out of the country.

Would you seriously transfer $35,000,000 (or whatever) to somebody in another country, whom you had never met, in the belief that that person will honor the agreement and give you your share back?

The deal always has to be kept from the prying eyes of other "officials" in various jurisdictions, so would you fire off an e-mail to someone, not knowing whether that person was sympathetic to your cause, or maybe even working for your corrupt Govt. or for some other agency, such as the CIA, FBI, MI5, etc.?

No, neither would I if it's that secret/important/dangerous!
