I WOULD like to warn all of your readers who have email accounts to beware of a what I can only describe as a "scam" that seems to be intended for a few gullible but greedy individuals.
I first became aware of this issue roughly about 6 months ago, but at the time I had assumed it to be just another Internet rumour.
It is supposed to be from a Nigerian Government Minister, asking for access to my bank account so that he could deposit a few million pounds, presumably to be laundered later on and split between his cronies and I.
Needless to say I have not replied and I hope that this has brought the whole issue into the open.
