This is a warning. Someone sent me a private message in one of the writing sites I belong. Thinking that she's a newbie and wants help I sent her an email asking how can I help her. She explained that she's from Philippine and widow. Her husband died from poisoning and she inherited a huge amount of money. $4.5 Million dollars. However, she has a cancer and dying, so she needs someone who will take care of this money to donate to the charities related to Widow and orphans. My instinct told me that I should search about this matter, true enough, it's right. It is a scam alright because if I continued my correspondence with her, she will ask me to give her $150 for whatever reason. Friends please be careful. Don't trust this kind of email you will receive or might receive by private message here in mylot. her name is Joyce and her email address is joyavelinelumeta@gmail.com.

I have had many different scams during the years. I have had inheritances from Nigeria, people who want to leave me money for whatever reason and so on. All scams.

@simone10 oh yeah before. the grammar was terrible considering that the person came from Brittain and an architect. I am not a native speaker and not very good in grammar, and yet I can distinguish and edit the mistakes. lol That BAD!

Such emails abound on the Net and mail sites. Simply block the sender and delete the mails. Never ever fall for such emails.
