I have read all of your comments. I thank you all for your advice and frank objections to the venture. I understand that being contacted by a stranger and being asked to receive a great deal of money may seem a little strange to the passer by.
I have also read the accusations that basically boil down to calling me a common thief. I must tell you that I object to this. I have never stolen anything in my life. Nothing of real value anyway.
To prove that my intentions are honorable and to skwash any hint of suspicion towards the Proposed business venture. I have emailed the foreign investor asking for some business references.
I have also included a full introduction to myself stating that the original Email (electronic mail) was the first time that I heard of the transaction. (I hope I havent blown it). Now if I get the money I can rest assured that it was indeed intended for me. If it doesnt work out, I may be regretting this for the rest of my (quite probably, miserable) life.
May I request that you supply me with the contact details for Mr. A Kabore?
Thank you fellow Mathemamateurs.

p.s.
(to follow up on my previous post. I have been informed that I will receive the Toby jug for a payment of 4.92. you can be sure that as soon as it arrives I will be recommending that eBay ban the seller!)
Thank you for your concern.
I had a look at that site I don't really see a connection.
Without giving too much away my contact is in another part of the world entirely.
I don't think I would trust anyone from region anyway.
Rest assured I am extremely careful with my money. I am not the kind of person that would walk into a scam (I think the fact that I am asking these kinds of questions in the first place should illustrate that fact)
In fact I have dealt with internet "scams" on a couple of occasion. I was once groomed by what I later found out was a Guatemalan prostitution syndicate.
I do not want to go into the in's and outs of it. But I recognised the tell tell signs that something was amiss and ended the relationship with the woman that I loved.
I have also been involved with various suspicious characters on Ebay. I again I will not go into details (One of the cases is still under investigation)
I will say this, If you agree to pay 3.72 for a novelty Toby jug. Shipping and handling costs should NOT amount to £15.40.
I would also like to thank you for your heartfelt welcome to the forum. I have been a keep Mathem'amateur (a work of my own invention) for some years now.
I often visit your website when I am at the local library. (I do have a private internet connection at home but I like the atmosphere)
I have often been shushed because of an amusing comment has made me chuckle. Congratulations on your sterling work maintaining such I fine Site.
Hi all.
This is my first post on this forum.
however, I have been using forums for a while now. I love THEM!
They are the best place to find honest impartial advice in these modern times.
for this reason alone I am going to ask your advice on a matter that is on my mind.
I have received an email from an overseas investor informing me that he has a large sum of money that he intends to transfer into my account as soon as I supply him with my details. Obviously I am reluctant do so because of the potential tax implications. does anyone on this forum know if I am liable to pay tax on a large cash transfer from overseas?
Obviously I am more than willing to pay for your advice. (In the near future I am going to be very comfortable, financially speaking).
Also because... and I don't know if I should even say this... I don't think I am even the intended person for this money. Am I wrong to except a large amount of money intended for someone else?
I have been in a similar situation once before. Barclays bank placed £10 in to my student account by accident. I quickly moved it to my savings. when they asked for it back I said that I had spent it. That was the end of the matter. Obviously It is going to be tricky to convince someone that I have already spent 6.2 million dollars. but I think that the same rules should apply.
I was later informed that someone lost their job because of the mistake with my bank account. But I didn't ask them to move that money to my account! not really my problem.
Anyway... as I was saying. I find forums to be a great way to get information.
Your input would be greatly apreciated.
