My mother has told me she received an email from a man who says he's SF currently in AFG. He has asked my mom to help him transfer $25 million to the states. Now I know it sounds a lot like those "African prince/rich deceased relative" scams, but since it most likely is, should my mom report this person? And if so, who should she report him to? Thanks for any and all responses fellas

Tell Mom to RUN, do not walk, from her computer! This is a total scam. It is the exact same plot as the African prince thing yet uses the patriotism of Americans to play into their M.O.
You could start with JAG but finding these guys is nearly impossible. They move IP address and change names, etc. You would have better luck nailing Jell-O to a wall.
Tell Mom to keep her money where she can see it---invested in shoes and handbags in her closet. Lol

It should also be reported to your local law enforcement. Yes, they can probably do little or nothing. BUT, Such crimes can sometimes be when the wealth of information reveals a small detail.

Basic Rule --- If it sounds too good to be true, you can be sure it isn't. This was a cardinal rule I learned about evaluating tax shelter offerings -- if it was such a good deal why would they want to share it with you.
