NIGERIAN BITCOIN SCAM

There has been a recent spate of Bitcoin scams originating from Nigeria.

How the scam works: You receive an email saying that you have an inheritance of 1 million Bitcoins and all you have to do is transfer 1 Bitcoin to a certain Bitcoin address in order to release the funds. If you send the Bitcoin you will lose it and you will not receive the inheritance which is bogus and never existed.

Solution: Simply delete the email and do not respond because these types of emails are a scam.
