You might have received an email from a guy called "George Abraham" who claims to be a banker in Abu Dhabi.

The guy also has a LinkedIn profile and he actually tried to add me as a contact today. Check it out here: http://ae.linkedin.com/pub/george-abraham/a5/3a9/bb2
It has "Nigerian scam" written all over it. A problem typically occurs before he can send you the money, and you have to pay someone to be able to let the transfer proceed.
I'm wondering if people still falls for these scams...
