Have you ever got emails from another country saying that they are trying to locate someone with the same last name as yours. Since you have the same last name you can say that you are a relative. Since they can't find them they are willing to spilt money with you from someone who has died in an acccident. All they need is your bank account number so they can deposite the money in there. All they ask for you to do is give them a certain amount. (Do people really fall for this scam?)
Most of them are from Nigeria, search google for Nigerian scams and you will find hundred of results with different stories. People did fall for this scam when it was new in market, they are attentive now though.
LOL! The old Nigerian bank account scam, man they must have made so much money off that. They have all been closed now but when they were up around 3 or 4 years ago they were making millions.
Hehe, talking about these false inheritage emails, I usually received more than 5 this kind of emails per day. The Nigerians really know how to Scam people, isn't it?
