I don't even bother reading emails from people i don't know. erase them all at once, you might be tempted to read it and start crying. a lot of people still fall for these schemes. a neighbor of mine, she's 67 by the way, is living off her pension, gave 10$ to a person who emailed her and said they badly need help in rebuilding their home in new orleans.

these scams will never stop as long as there are people who still fall for them.

I get countless amounts of emails similar to this, although you would have to be a fool to believe it in my opinion. Just ignore them, or change your email address.

I have gotten that exact type of email but the person said a slightly different situtation.. said that a family died in a plane crash that that i was to go with this guy to some place and claim the money. If I did that then he would give me like 40% or something like that...
