I received an email from a gentleman in India stating that he has cancer and wants to send me 24M to help the needy, poor, orphanages, and widows, and some money for me, which is in consignment.

He told me to contact his attorney and to provide my name, address, phone number, and email address. The attorney has replied back to me after getting the documents signed by the owner of said consignment. I was contacted by a delivery man with a courier service stating that I contact him in regards to a consignment from Mr. Gerard.

The attorney said he's paid everything from India and the courier company and all I've to pay is the customs clearance fee. I'm told that it's the beneficiary's responsibility to pay this.

I had questions regarding paying the courier delivery man and I wrote the attorney regarding this and he assured me that this person would get the consignment after I take care of the custom clearance fees. Also, he sent me a tracking number of this said consignment to check the delivery.

It has now arrived in New York and he's to pick up this said consignment at the JFK airport in New York. He, then, will fly to my state in Texas to deliver it to me.

I want to know what to do to protect myself and how do I know this is legitimate?

I've been getting emails from a sergeant stating she found money overseas and needs to send it to someone and diplomatic packaging with artifacts and diplomatic paperwork so it has diplomatic immunity and won't be checked.

But asking for money before the packages get delivered to the house, what's inside the package is what she saying to keep a secret.

I found another scam exactly like this just different Sergeant's name but exact details filing number everything is exactly the same.

Any and every email which contains a solicitation for any fee whatsoever for any reason is a con job. Plain and simple.

Racket Squad in the 1950s on US TV had episodes dealing with confidence rackets. The internet today uses these frauduolent e-mails to pick your pockets the same way.

These thieves are just stealing your money without sticking a gun in your back and saying "Hands up. Give me your wallet or I'll kill you." Wise up people.

There was a man I started talking to on words with friends. He gave me the story he was a widow with no children and looking for someone to talk to as friends. So weeks later he tells me he coming to see me. The day before he tells me his job sending him to Italy to work. Not hearing from him he hit me up on the game chat and said he's having phone connections problems etc etc etc.

He said I'm over here for two weeks then I'm coming to see you. He the meantime he sends me an email telling me the diplomat has valuables In storage for him which he said was his inherited money. Since he was out the country he named me as his fiancee to receive the package. He needed my name address telephone and email so it could be delivered to my door. I told Mr. Calvin Alberto if that's his real name I don't take part in scams. He tried to tell me it wasn't. When I started questioning him he became upset. I haven't heard from him since.he said he lives in L.A. California.
