You will notice they don't just send you the money, or ask you where to send it. No, you have to contact them. And when you do, they will tell you that some kind of tax has to be paid first. Or some kind of registration fee or lawyer's fee, before the money can be released.

If you send that money to them, they will tell you that there is some other fee that has to be paid first. They will keep on with that as long as you keep sending them money. But they will never ever send you any money.

This is the usual Nigerian fraud..Check out this http://potifos.com/fraud/

Try to act innocent and send a reply that you are very interested to get the money..After exchanging few emails say to them that you don't use credit card but you are willing to hand over money directly to their representative..Wait to hear from them...Once you hear tip off the police...

Try doing something like this http://www.dnaindia.com/report.asp?NewsID=1109102
