Here is another scam:

"To The Director BNI. (GH)

Respected Sir.

I get Emails from few countries in Africa saying that they have millions of Hard currencies and they want to invest money in business. They ask us to make a trip to their country to finalise. Normally I do not reply. This kind of messages I would delete straight away.

Recently through a group conversation through whatsapp IRON SCRAP COPPER, these fraudsters are claiming to supply almost 60 different countries counterfeit notes.
The message is coming from 233 20 295 4804 They also have a web site called
supernotessolution.com Their Email address is supernotessolutions@gmail.com. Sharing facility is not working in this message. If not I would have sent it to u by way of attachment. Kindly do the needful Regards Hawkins Prabhakar."
