Emails scams

From time to time , you will see news reported that people being scammed on the internet of how they got emailed by some foreign embassy saying that they have inherited millions of dollars.

The only catch is that you would need to pay a small amount to get all the documents processed.  Ever wonder if the banks need transaction fees , why can't they deduct it from the huge amount that is definitely yours. I am sure that they will be happier to do that if they get to charge your more for it. 

A few days ago , i even read news of a retire teacher being scammed after he send money to free a foreign princess in jail which claims that she has inherited USD $ 4 millions . Strangely... why can't she asked someone in her own country or even send out a reward for those who can help her there. I mean what is a guy gonna do to help to free a princess in jail in the other side of the world. 

And yet people still falls for the scams.... 

I received an email scams too.
