This is my story about a spam email I got a few days ago. I'm not good at English. I am a second year student in RMIT doing Accountancy.

Attention: Sir.
My name is Richard Grant, a Barrister and Solicitor at law here in JAKARTA INDONESIA. I am the personal attorney to my late client, a national of your Country, who used to work with an Oil and Gas Exploration Company firm here in JAKARTA INDONESIA. On the 24th of December 2007, my client, Engr. Kamal Prabhakara his wife and their two children were involved in a ghastly auto accident while returning from their vacation and all occupants of the vehicle lost their lives. Since then I have made several enquiry to find any of my late client’s relatives or close surnames names and I found you.
I am contacting you to assist in repatriating of my late client's fund in the Bank before it gets confiscated or declared unserviceable by the 8th of MaY 2014. This fund is US$104,000,000.00 (One Hundred and Four Million United States Dollars) plus accumulated interest. Since my late client’s death was Inter-state, I have the legal right to present you as the Beneficiary to this fund.
According to the Bank, we have only about 36 days Left on my late client’s contract agreement with the bank and according to the JAKARTA INDONESIA inheritance Law, I must present the Next of Kin to get this accomplished otherwise the money will be confiscated and taken over by the banks top officials and share it amongst themselves.
I seek your consent to present you as the Beneficiary to the funds so that the proceeds of this account valued at US$104,000,000.00 plus the accumulated interest can be paid to you. Upon the successful completion of this transaction, I shall meet with you in your country to negotiate on how this fund will be utilized. May be we can reinvest the fund in your county for our benefit or share the funds 50% each.
I have all of the Legal Papers needed to back you up in this claim. All I require is your honest and maximum co-operation to see this transaction through. Please note that this transaction is 100% legit and risk free if you follow my legal instructions. You and I have nothing to lose since I will be at the background here and I will be furnishing you with the required details to be presenting to the bank where this fund is dormant in the account at the moment.
If you are willing to assist and want us to work together, please kindly contact me and send this information for me to have more trust in you.
1. Your full names:
2. Present Residing Address:
3. Telephone/Mobile Number:
4. Age:
5. Type Of Job :
6. any of your I.D:
Yours Ever
I did not know that this was a scam and believed the story. I had paid and lost about $200,000,000. By then I was worried about paying the tuition fees. I also couldn't pay my living fees and had to live on welfare. I tried to recoup that money from the bank but could not.
So in the end I went home and was excluded from RMIT for not being able to pay fees on time.
Lessons learnt:
Never ever send information to someone you don't know. Never ever open spam emails. Just delete them.
