If you get a PM from akujmartins asking for money, do NOT respond! It is a scam.
Report the message to the admins.
 It is known as the "Nigerion money scam". You can read about it here:http://www.snopes.com/crime/fraud/nigeria.asp

Nope, not just you. That scam was around before the internet. I guess they started out by mail, then moved on to faxing. I've heard a few dozen or more (probably more) people fall for the scam every year, and loose their life savings.

Yup, all of it. You see, the people in this kind of scam convince you to give them your bank account numbers. You can probably guess what happens next.

The  FTC and FBI have been dealing with the scam for years. It's hard to catch these guys though, because mostly of them are operating out of countries that aren't cooperating with international officials.
