Who is got the details of this girl Precious Ruba who is claiming to be a refugee in Dakar Senegal?

The basic answer is that all such people claiming to be in such camps are trying to defraud. Very few people in a refugee camp, if any, would have internet access. Especially to the extent that these people have.

If you have you received an email from a person (especially a girl) who claimed he/she is residing in a refugee camp in Dakar, Senegal, I can assure you it's a scam and there is no camp in Senegal. That person is a swindler.

There has been an "advance fee" scam going for awhile in which a person - most always a girl/woman - will strike up contact with someone, either as a pen pal or some other innocent encounter. Then, at a certain point, she'll let it drop that she could get a lot of money owed her, or even get out of the refugee camp, if only she had $X for this, that or the other.

There are several camps in Senegal and should you wish to donate any money it is highly recommended you do so through a recognised charity.

and this people had sent me a email to

Can you sue a dead person or his estate for fraud?

The following should not be construed in any way as legal advice. Consult a lawyer before proceeding on this information.

Fraud is a tort. If the administrator or executor of the dead person's estate is served with the lawsuit before the expiration of your state's statute of limitations for torts, you can proceed with the lawsuit against the estate as if it were against the dead guy. If you win, you can claim a judgment against the estate.

Some definitions:

Estate - When someone dies with a will, the will will appoint an "executor" to legally represent the interests, or estate, of the dead person. Those interests include assets and debts. If there is no will, but there are interested persons, either heirs or creditors, the estate will go to "probate" and a probate judge will name an "administrator" with the same job as an executor. If there's no will and no one claims anything against the dead guy, then no estate is created.

Statute of limitations - The amount of time set by law that a person has to sue somebody, from the date of the bad act. In this case, the day you were defrauded.

Served - For a lawsuit to commence, the defendants must be served. Different states have different rules for who may serve a lawsuit, but it's usually called a sheriff or marshal. The statute of limitations counts backwards from the date the defendant is served. Here, you would have to serve the executor or administrator. If there's no estate, there's no one to serve so you can't sue. However, in some states, the statute of limitations is suspended between the day of death and the day an executor/administrator is appointed.

Judgment - An order to pay money. The money would come from the estate.
