I have something to share and please let me know what you think of this regardless of whatever your opinion is I will take it.
Yesterday, Saturday, I received a text message stating to send me an email to the mail that’s attached to the text. So I was thinking it could be a job so I send the email right away. Last night, as I checked my email, I received a mail from that email. It was a long mail. As I read it, I got goosebumps coz it was talking hundred millions there. To cut the story short, whoever send that email to me wants me to claim that money as the beneficiary and once successful we will be divide the money to 50-50. He said his name and he is the Operations Manager of the bank of that someone who owns the money but it died a long ago with no proper information and a beneficiary. He said he will help me claim it coz he has the authority and the power to that but he needs someone to be the beneficiary.
Sounds so enticing to me coz since I’m sick it can be a big help for my medication. But I doubt if it’s a fake or not. And the way he send and wrote me the long message it sounds so real.

@JustBhem This is 100% a scam. Please do not respond back or fall for this garbage. I have been getting these types of emails since I even had an email account. It's all full of crap. They say all nice things to suck you in and once you accept, they will ask you for a fee so then you can "receive your money." It's all lies and it's all about THEM making money. Not you. You will not see a cent of that money because it isn't even real.

@GardenGerty Sure is a scam. I deleted about 5 of them not too long ago. All crap!
I got another stupid one too saying: "hey sexy I saw your profile and you're a very handsome man and I would love to get to know you." lol I'm not a man nor do I have a profile up for dating.
All they do is find or buy a bunch of emails and spit out their scam emails to everyone hoping they will find their next victim.

Don't do it... I have been receiving an email and have ignored it for nearly a year. This guy just won't give up. Apparently I'm supposed to inherit something. I have inherited something from my mom so I know how this works. This isn't it.

scam, get them all the time, in my email, i have had all types.. My ex replied to one of those and they wanted him to send some money i told him, it was a scam, not to fall for it.
You have to wonder, how they find you, they just get ahold of many emails and write people .. They showed one on a tv show here 20/20 I think and they went all the way to Nigera to track some one, who was involed in the scam.

@JustBhem they come from many places, bottom line you will get nothing, you will only be out of money, in exchange for something that won't come.

I remember receiving such mail a long time back. It's a 100 percent scam. I have heard many people getting such mail and even WhatsApp messages. I just don't open such spam mails as they might not be safe. Better to just delete it and block it. I have done it.

Take the advice of M.-L. @MALUSE, because it is definitely a SCAM. Do not respond to it. In stead, delete it and ignore future contacts from them.

This Is one of the most overdone scam mail. They will suddenly ask you to send money as transfer charges or something.

@JustBhem yes. They also ask for your personal details including bank details so that they know who and where to "send" money.

Most probable this is just scamming you. I have read different stories about it. They have all different versions of their stories. Some are believable and some are plain outrageous. I think that if you reply they will find a way to convince you to shed some money to hasten transfer if fund through them snd when you’re lured to it then they disappear. I played along with them once to see how far they will do it. They produced this certificate that looks so legit to convince you to pay them

@JustBhem Yes they will try everything to look authentic and show you papers that it is indeed legitimate. But they are all hoax. I once played along and promised that I would pay him when I have the money he will be sending me or just say that to deduct the fees from the money they will send me. They eventually stopped when they realized I am playing along with them and could not get anything from me.

I get those emails all the time, atleast one,two or more a week. They make them sound so enticing don't they? They have even went as far as sending one guy I know a letter stating the exact same thing. Of course it was an elderly gentleman and he thought he was coming into some money until I finally convinced him to take it to his lawyer whom checked it out and broke it to him it was a scam. It's a shame how low some people will stoop too get money.

@JustBhem Good for you. You'd be surprised at how many people they actually get with that. For some reason I guess they want to believe it's true or they are just that desperate for money.

I'm sorry, but it is a scam. Even though they took the time to write a long message to make it seem real, they use that to suck you in. Please, PLEASE, [b]PLEASE[b], don't respond to the message again. They can use your information for a lot of bad things. If you happen to shop online they can use your accounts and get your money that way. The first thing I would do is change all my passwords so they can't use your accounts for anything. I would also alert the people administering the account that the text message came through on that someone is sending nefarious messages. Follow through the the other members suggestions too. I wish I could help you out, but I am going through my own bad time financially right now. I was in the hospital the last couple of days last month after having 11 seizures. I am just now starting to feel somewhat better. This is the first morning that I woke up without having had spasms in my legs (). But maybe next month I can help you out some. Right now the point is that the email was, unfortunately, a scam. As I was told many times "If it's too good to be true it usually is". It is just a way for the scammer to get money and the person who is being scammed to end up without a cent. I'm so sorry to puncture your dream.

@JustBhem , Long before the advent of internet, this is already a scam. I used to receive letter of this sort when I was still working in Manila in the 1980's so this is an old modus, they just leveled up.
