1. The Nigerian Prince
It’s the most basic scam in the book. And the email sure sounds so credible: a prince from Nigeria (or the Ivory Coast, or Spain, or Togo, et cetera) is writing to inform you he has come into an inheritance but has to leave the country. He needs to store the money in an offshore account, and has somehow decided you would be the perfect person to assist. He promises to share the vast riches with you—if you just help pay for the taxes, legal fees, and other expenses to clear the way for the deposit.
Of course, there’s no fortune—beyond what the scammer lifts from your bank account. And for more ways to make the most of your inboxes, check out the 17 Genius Email Hacks That Will Improve Your Life.
