Beware of scam emails and false friends

At every social sites i have joined, there will always be someone who pretends to be a friend. 'She' would sent a 'friendly' message and asked me to contact 'her' at an external email address. After i contacted 'her' at that email address, 'she' would try to lure me with a juicy story of having a large amount of money that 'she' would share with me if i help her get the money out from a certain bank. This user usually never post 'her' picture at the social site. Even the picture 'she' posted by 'her' external email couldnt be 'her' true picture. I am so used to the pattern of 'her' message that everytime such person sent email to me i already knew what 'she' was up to. I hope everybody is cautious of such persons and dont feel greedy as to be lured like a mouse into a trap. You can search the persons' name on google search. Their names are usually archived on scam alert sites and site having 419 as part of its name. Good luck to you all tags: scam, alert, false, friend, 419, beware
