I got this friendly message asking me to befriend her or him. With all the stories and personal background. What comes first to my mind was THE "scam". In the first place I am a girl and she was a girl but it seems to her that I am a boy because of my email add that sound like a boy name. She ask me to give my complete all my details so she can send e money to open an account her since she can't open an account to my country because of sensitive reason. But the point that made me realize she is a scam is that she ask me to send money so she can process the necessary documents. What a heck!!!
I don't want to be a victim of this scam which I believe so. Have you experience this kind of doing?

Even I used to get 10-15 such mails (roughly) every month and I never care of such things. It is absolutely scam and no need to respond or treat them in any manner. In fact no need to discuss much on it because it itself says full nature. If we take care, we will be in safe. The people in front of us and friends do cheat and scams and what would be the case where we never know and a person from other places. I think you understood what I mean and have a nice day.
Sometime there may be chances of genuineness. But it is atlast 1-10% and why to take chances in the case of 90% doubtful. So keep away from such things and it is better for all times and at least we will get peace of mind. May be little, but if it remain with us is good, than looking for the big and losing what we have in our safe hands.
Thank-s

Any email I get with the word "Friend" in it immediately gets deleted. I know who my friends are - and none of them call me "Friend".

It's sure a scam my friend.Who in his/her right mind would give her/his personal details to someone who is a stranger to her/his.Even to your newly find friends I guess not especially if this involves money.There are lot of scams in the net that you should be are of and this is one.Delete it and forget about it.Some people now a days with ill motives always find ways to victimize others, if they allow it.

Its part of viral marketing where some website access your friends details and make email by their name to you with a strange message .. By that you would confuse about message and do register ... when you register on that website they ask for invite friends and make access of your personal information..
So please aware from these like message you friend not involved in these like activity.
