This is another email scam which I received tonight in my email inbox in yahoo mail. This is not new to me. The first time I received this is more than 5 years ago. I remember before since I am new to this scam that it is true for they don't ask for bank account or any money. The person there is also dying in the email. and say that Sshe is going to transfer all her wealth.And she told me I was the one who will receive the wealth and I have to contact their attorney.and then I did I emailed and then she said that the person is in the hospital and dying. its just a like a not less than two weeks drama. and then no more emails.Well, I don't know how kind of scam is this for they do not ask for money but just fooling people. Some email which is really a scam ask to deposit to the account before withdrawing the money. Mine is different one but I consider is still scam for they just fooling me.for the reason I don't know.

It's very common to me getting lots of scam emails everyday in my email.The best way to stop this is:
1.Create a different account and use this only for online activities.
2.Don't sign up in scam sites which are not legit.

I get scams like this all the time, in my email box, what I like to know is when they make these scams, these people sending the email, don't even know you or I, they just send this email to any one they can find, to get someone to send them some money you don't know, the person they are talking about, in the email, so how can you get money from someone, you don't even know.

and they are using different email address so it's hard to filter I don't know if it comes to one person or one group only.

I believe my email service provider is now smart enough to send all such emails to my junk folder so it has been a long time since I read such emails haha! Everyone should just be careful about forking out money for such schemes, often they prey on one's greed so remind yourself that money can't be just coming in so easily.

The only thing to do with these scams is to ignore them and hope they go away.
I never reply to any of the internet ones, but am plagued with similar things over the telephone and, depending on how bored I am at the time, have tried all sorts of things to stop them.
I even told one that hed had managed to reach the local police head quarters and would be in serious trouble, he appologised profusely and was ever so sorry but still rang back a couple of days later to try again.
But nothing works, so just ignore them or set your e-mail to filter them out and delete them from source.
