Miscellaneous Scam Money Transfers
Example - Chris Jones at Airways Delivery Agency
I have been waiting for you since to come down here and pick your BankDraft of $600,000.00 but did not heard from you since that time, then I went and deposited the Draft with AIRWAYS DELIVERY AGENCY here in Nigeria

Did you receive an email from a "Chris Jones at Airways Delivery Agency" who  says "I have been waiting for you since to come down here and pick your BankDraft of $600,000.00 but did not heard from you since that time, then I went and deposited the Draft with AIRWAYS DELIVERY AGENCY here in Nigeria"  Some scams are hard to categorize.  Certainly the scammer will try to steal your identity and get you to send him money, but the text of the scam is so odd, it's hard to imagine anyone falling for it. If this email out-of-the-blue from an unknown foreigner offering to pay you absurd amounts of money for almost no work doesn't strike you as a scam, then you really need to read through a number of the scams on this website and familiarize yourself with their approach.

Chris Jones and  Frank Williams (made up names, obviously) hope to con you into sending money for various "fees" to free the fortune.  If you would like a step by step explanation of how this type of "Advance Fee Fraud" works, click here!

Notice (highlighted below) some of the other obvious signs that this is a scam are poor spelling , use of free Yahoo/Hotmail/etc email accounts, proposals that make no sense, etc.: You think they'd use a spell and grammar checker!
