this is one of the oldest cons in the book, my dear. You'll see a lot them. They all have a slightly different story, but what it boils down to is they want you to receive money and send money. right? The catch is the check that is sent to you is worthless. Then you deduct a small fee for yourself to keep and send out your check or cashiers check to someone else. They get your money and you are holding a worthless piece of paper. And you're right. A stranger would not approach you to do something that requires a lot of trust. Just hit delete!

yes, I get 6 or so a week. Guess what I started getting now? I get those same kind of official letters from Nigeria THEN I get an official email from the FBI. Well, it's true! They said they were the FBI-LOL! This letter is to tell me they have thoroughly investigated the contents of the 1st letter and I can rest assured it's on the up & up, so go ahead and send them my money! What I crock! I about LMAO
