The major clues include: misspellings, broken English, and the sheer numbers of these e-mail!
The latest trick is to phone up unsuspecting seniors and claiming that their grandchild is in jail and needs bail money. Yikes.
Beware, people!!!

I have been waiting for you since to contact me for your Bank Check of ($900,000.00 USD) I did not hear from you since then,so i deposited the Check with UPS Delivery Service, in West Africa. You have to contact UPS COURIER for the delivery ASAP to avoid reaching the expiring date.
Dispatch Director
Mr.David J.Hugo
Email Address: upsdelivery2010@w.cn
Telephone Number: +234 -8081-270-196
For your information, I have paid for the delivering Charge, Insurance premium and Clearance Certificate Fee of the Cheque showing that it is not a Drug Money or meant to sponsor Terrorist attack in your Country. The only money you will send to the UPS COURIER SERVICE to delivery your Check direct to your postal Address in your country is ($265.00 US) Dollars only being Security Keeping Fee of the Courier Company so far. I would have paid that but they said no because they don't know when you will contact them and in case of demurrage.
Regards.
Mr. Milford Elvis

You have to be so guarded these days. I just hate it.
Get them all the time! I just delete them. But isn't it a shame to think that the red flag doesn't wave for some unsuspecting soul, and they fall for it? Have a great evening, karen
