These scams come in several different ways. "Phishing" is the term used for the use of bogus e-mails to get personal information. I ocassionally get one from someone who would like me to be a coorespondant for them in the United States. These are usually somewhat well written and from a person claiming to be from a third world country. Bogus emails can also be sent to the actual website. In other words, most legitimate organizations have a group that investigates these e-mails.
