Well it's official. I am dead. My email tells me so. Here's the proof directly from my inbox: "Subject: I WAS TOLD THAT YOU ARE DEAD . ARE DEAD OR ARE YOU ALIVE?Reply to Mr.Charles Aneka show details 6:55 PM (2 hours ago) Attention Beneficiary,I received an email from an Mr.Badiru Abidemi Adeyinka person trying to claim your fund telling me you are dead. Honestly at this point of view, i am getting convinced about this issue because i have sent you several emails but no response and calls no response,so i have begining to believe you are truely dead."Of course, being me, I just had to email him back and tell him, "Oh my yes, I am most certainly dead, but will come back and haunt Mr. Adeyinka if he DARES to claim my fund!" I then asked that it be couriered to Heaven, care of Michael the ArchAngel. I'm still awaiting delivery. Do you think there's a Chapters, or Starbuck's or Gap in Heaven? Seriously, I want to know in case my 'fund' gets to me there. I'll need somewhere to spend it.......

WalMart will be there, never fear! LOL Wow, a new twist on an old scam. What will they think of next? Amazing. It just boggles the mind, doesn't it? So, just how much money are you coming into? How many millions is this one going to send you? I'd be a gazillionaire if I got all the money promised me from these barristers, bank representatives, princes, presidents and kings.

The email I got this morning is the first one I've ever received from this particular guy, so I have no details about the fund amount, and that's what made the whole thing just too weird not to 'play' with........... And yeah I hear ya about how rich we could be if they were all legit..........that would mean even President Obama owed me money! LOL

The subject is quite weird, but they put attention beneficiary which means someone else who is alive that would get whatever the deceased left behind. I would be really angry at the person who emailed me and concerned as well. I'd most likely try to find out as much as I can, but I wonder if the guy will email you back. You've got to post his response if he does.

I think you should take pity on the poor guy and send him two cents so that he can go get some schooling...

Hey Daffy, Wow, that's a new one! Good come back! I really hope this scammer is superstitious. They have sunk to new lows haven't they? They sure sent it to the wrong lady!! I really get tired og deleting these emails. So how's your Son doing Daffy? Are your boys anxious to meet your biological family? How are you doing? I'm always so happy to see your posts. I know you are busy but I miss you when you aren't here. Hugssss Louie

My boys are doing well Louie but I haven't told them yet about this. I'm waiting to hear back from my (adoptive) parents........still haven't heard from them, so it's time to stop being a coward and pick up the phone this weekend and call them. I'm doing well, and you are so sweet to say you miss me. I miss you too!

Oh and don't forget the sunbeams - although I did hear from an accurate source that these are very expensive. You may have to ask Michael the Archangel to donate some of his wing feathers so if you sold these you perhaps could just afford to buy a few sunbeams.

I've heard of dumb scammers, but this just about takes the cake. I wouldn't have been so charitable in my response e-mail, though; I would have told this character exactly how the cow eats grass. It's crazy what some people would do to steal the money of others.

Well I haven't heard of that scam before. I wonder what they were after. Did they ask for any details from you? It's very entertaining anyway. And just a bit disturbing! Lucky you didn't start to believe it yourself, lol! I like your answer to the guy. I'm also hoping that there's a Starbucks in heaven. I should imagine so, they've built them everywhere else. (Although I'm not actually complaining!)

It's doubtful they will understand your seriously wacky sense of humour. Such a shame. There is not much intelligence behind this one, just weirdness.

Not sure about a Chapters but I know for a fact there are lots of Starbucks and Gaps up there along with Bloomingdale's and Macy's. Guess what though? Your funds will super stretch up in heaven cause everything is FREE!

Oh no.. is this the latest saga to scamming? My, my... you sure are well, alive and kicking! Tell the scammer that, Sparks.. But you answered well; so did this person reply back to you? I'm sure he won't..
