A few days ago, I recieved three emails from three different foreign people with three different subjects in mind - I need help, one of them is crazy, saying that if I wish to known as a next of kin to some millionaire then I could recieve a share of his $12.6m fortune - a guaranteed 20% to be more precise - I've been asking around and most think its a hoax, but in my heart of hearts I think its true - the only thing is I don't know what to expect which is scary and may well be dangerous. Can someone please help, any of you guys been recieving them?

One other thing, the guy who's money I get , his death report id no BBC News website, so I know that for a fact isn't spam. What do I do?

If its true this could set me up for a great life, but if its not then I could get badly burned - someone catch me if I fall!!!

I haven't been receiving them, but that is definitely a scam. That person does not have 12.6 million dollars. If you do agree to that, there will be a catch that you don't know about. You probably won't be seeing any of that money. He may even want you to give him money. Don't do it!!!!


If you don't like my driving then stay off the sidewalk!

A good tip to live life by -

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Those emails are whats called "Nigeria Scam's", they are easily identified as they will always ask you to help them get a inheritance or something like that out of the country, and ofcourse they just need to "borrow" your bank account to do it..

YEAH RIGHT!!

Yeah it's a scam.

I heard this lady on the radio who said the same thing about some dead rich relative in the UK.

She sent them a crapload of money in order to pay some made up 'transfer out of the country' fee.

Then they said she had to pay more and made up some reason.

So yeah, only do it if you're prepared to lose an assload of money and not get anything for it.

I get them all the time. You shouldn't even open them if you're
suspicious because it can show people your account is active and you'll
receive even more.
If you receive anything with a subject title that is your surname, or says,
"IMPORTANT: IMMEDIATE RESPONSE PLEASE", trash 'em.

These people need their nads chopping off.

Hi, I get at least 10 to 15 of these weird emails a day. I do not suggest that you give out any of your information. Identity theft is so big right now and that could get you burned for sure. I block these "senders" and go about my day.
I sincerely hope that you do not reply to them.
Have a nice day.
