I had a similar email message from Netlog online community award team and someone by barrister Mark Tony Chambers claimed that he was vested with the powers as legal dviser to online netlog community award team through the high court of London and the national regulatory commission in the UK in mediating to get funds totalling GBP2,000,000.00 to my account and a transfer fee of GBP750.00 was requested from me. I have launched several secearches through the Bar Council of England for confirmation, yet to receive a response from them. If the the Bar Council of England and Wales confirmed that he is legally acting for the netlog online then I will be transferring the money to him by 21st of July 2011.
This morning I received a text message on my mobil phone that I won GBP 550,000.00 through Nokia promotion.
Can someone out there advise me on both istances in the next 12 hours please

DIANA OR WHAT EVER YOU CALL YOURSELF, the information you posted here is fauls, think twice befor you tarnish some bodies image so that you will not be punished by God.
Your lack of ability to write correct English, and your stance on defending the email scams, indicates that you are a scammer (if not THE scammer) yourself. Do not try to defend your actions, nor try to attack those who call you out. Karma has the tendency to come back 10 fold, which was something I thought Africans understood. Guess not.

Hi Ela,
I just want to share with you that I happen the same thing recently. The first thing I received was an email from a sourcing agent, Ms Monia Koffi telling me that she is interested in my furniture products and will try to register my items and my furniture company (I am the marketing manager) to a bid at Contract Procurement Unit (CPU) of ECOWAS. Shortly, happened the whole similar things as you did. I sent via email all required documents and he (Ernest Debrah) confirmed the receipt. I asked Monia what then to do and she told me to wait and to be patient. She quitely told me that to register my products & company to CPU had cost her US$480 and she requested me the refund(?)
Just a few days passed, CPU emailed me a congratulation because my bid won the tender. I was requested to come to his office in Ghana within 4 days to sign up the tender or the tender would be rejected(?) Who could prepare to get there in such a short time?
He gave me option if I or my Boss could not afford to get there. The option is to hire a registered attorney from their side on my charge. I have not decided instead I asked Monia what best to do. She advised me to decide first; going there or hiring an attorney.
Still, I have not decided. Of course I can't go there -- it's just not about the time but also about the financial matter. And I have no idea how much I will be charged for an attorney; in my country, for a standard level attorney we must pay for at least US$2000.
I understand that the tender is big, but I don't think I should take out some money before everything turns to be real.
As a matter of fact, this CPU (and maybe Monia) processes the whole things very neat as if the tender is real; but, the same question as yours comes to me also -- is it just a scam or real?
This is to inform you that your Email address have won a prize money of US$850,000.00 (Eight Hundred and Fifty Thousand United States Dollars) as one of the final recipients of a Cash Grant/Donation for your own personal, education and business development for this year 2009. Get back to us with the below information: Full Name, Address in full ( No Po Box ) City, State, Zip code, Phone Number, Cell Number.Further Details will be given. Yours faithfully,Mr. D Shaw.donationundp@yahoo.cn
