One pm, somebody called me up..telling from netherland bank (SNI) and telling iam a recepient of 100,000 euro from netherland foundation.
20 % of it i will share to my environment and remaining for my family, educational funds of my kids, and bussiness..It was no number appeared in the mobile screen and it is a overseas call.I even received an email.
Is that possible to transfer the money in my account/ Bank here in Doha?

So named after the section of their legal code it contravenes. It used to be done by fax.

If you reply they know they have alive email account.

IGNORE it.

ruphil, I guess you are not convinced, Try and let us know how it turns out. If it is a scam dont tell us we did not warn you. If it is for real then share some money with us.

In the UK this type of scam is very popular. It works when you return the call or text message, the number you send it to is a premium rate number often costing 10's of pounds per minute to ring.

Dont reply to the call/text just delete it.

later on they will ask you to send some amount of money to one of their bank account. dont be fooled yourself for this kind of scams.

every day more than three mails i am recieving from unknown guys like this...most of they are from african countries....

some of these mails telling that they are refugees & coming from well known family & all....these are bull shit...

be carefull, dont be greedy to money & lose your own money.....

Don't do anything, it's a scam, if things are unbelievable, it normally is a scam. If you get an offer that is to good to be true, it usually is not true. So don't be naive- stay away from anything like this

Ignore it. It smells of scam. There is no free money.
