I have been receiving countless emails telling me that I am the recipient of not just thousands but millions of dollars. I have at least 3 of them in my yahoo account. One says that a wealthy millionaire and his wife who are about to die of some disease is seeking my help to distribute their wealth to needy people. They say that because of their illness, they are unable to look after this task themselves and that they do not trust their relatives who have plundered their wealth all their lives. I am to receive a fair share of their money in return for my trouble. Another email sent to me states that I have been declared the beneficiary of a dead millionaire's money. Still another email states that my email account has been drawn in a certain lottery and that I am to respond promptly so that I may claim my prize. I guess my favorite is another email saying that the sender is a bank official who had found an inactive account traced to a dead man with no known relatives and that he is willing to split the loot with me if I respond discreetly to his personal email address. If these emails were true, I have got to be the luckiest person alive! Really people, be careful of emails you receive. I just read an article stating the nightmare victims of these scams had to go through.I guess what really pisses me off is that some of these scammers even have the nerve to appear religious and kkep mentioning God in these things. have you received any emails like these?

Yeah a couple of times scarletwitch.. One email stated that he's a a sole beneficiary of a certain king that he is seeking help from me that he will use my account to transfer funds. Since some relatives want their claims to so he has to discreetly wired it to offshore account. I won a lottery too and actually there was this company Siemens emailed me that I worn from their draw lots. Duh! I was confused since i cant remember filling up some tickets or what. That keeps me bothered and annoyed too that they have the nerve to use God in their evil doings. I just hate scammers. Its quiet confusing that where they got my email. I guess I have to be very careful in signing up to any sites. So far I have no experience being scam on the net.

I haven't been actually scammed yet since I refuse kto even acknowledge their emails. I am so bummed by these people. Some of them ask for money so that they could "send" your cash and some of them steal the identity of the people who respond to their emails and use it to gain access to other people's bank account and stuff. It is sad there are people who do this. Spread the word. Let's try to make sure these people have no more innocent victims! Thanks for responding!
