I received one msg for making friend from an id called Capt Johnson, he asked for my email for sending his photos. I had no idea who he was, all info was unclear and I doubted that was a scam. Later I saw this guy be banned by admin and made me believe what I doubted was right.

My friend had told me about such a case before when she was approached by a foreign guy telling he had $8.5 mil in bank, that guy was in deployment so he asked her for help to do some transaction and would share her $3.5 mil. To complete paper work, she would need to send the bank $200...Thus, the scammer wouldn't hack money from her Acc but the prey herself would send money on her own. What a trick.

This's to alert if anyone here receive the same email, just keep away from such jerks.

He/she/it contacted me and I just rejected the offer. My alarm bells went off when the message called me sweetheart.
