E-mail Scam

An Email scam is targeting the Deaf community. It appears to be a variation of the well-known Nigerian con. The email claims to come from a deaf girl who says she is heir to millions of dollars. She identifies herself as Stelle Komana in one of the variations of the Email and provides a wild story that her father was killed by fierce bandits in the Ivory Coast. But she claims to be willing to share the money will anyone who will help get the funds to the US. The sender asks for bank account information - which is then used to take money from the recipient. Police advice anyone getting these types of messages to ignore them.
