Wow, diamonds? The one I got ages ago was to do with a bank account in some African country that contained millions of dollars. The writer could not access it due to war or something and wanted my bank details so that he could deposit it into my account. My fee would be a percentage of the total sum to be transferred.

The sad thing is that people actually believe stuff like this. I remember watching ''A Current Affair'' (Australian current affairs show) where a man was duped by the email - he replied to the email and the crux of the scam is that he goes and meets them and then they ask for money to help access the money. Then they ask for more and more. You never get the money back nor do you end up getting a share of the supposed millions. He ended up going to the police and he helped them track down the scammers in London where they were arrested. I recall him saying in the interview that he can''t believe how stupid he was to have fallen for such a scam.
