OK, it's me again and there's more good news in my email: two more people have written me wanting to give me even more money...both are from England. One is from a gal dying with no kids and the other is from someone who is willing to share someone's estate 60-40 with me. I get the 40. I can be generous...with all the millions I'm getting. Seriously, is this ridiculous or what?????

You would think hey would come up with something a little more original.

[kork13]

...or readable. Spell check anyone?

Just make sure that when you call them, you also have your SSN ready for ID verification, your checking acct # for electronic deposit, and you may need a credit card number available to pay a processing fee. It's totally standard, don't worry! Just give them all of your sensitive information, and they'll take it from there (and your identity to boot).

I get those e mails every week!

i remember when 20/20 did a special years ago, where they hunted down the guy who was sending out an email like this and he was saying he was some sort of "prince" but he was really this 20 year old slacker who lived in his mom's basement.

Chelsea Clinton's father-in-law just got out of prison a couple of years ago for scamming people in a multi-million dollar Nigerian mail swindle.

[krantcents]

I receive one of those once a week or at least a couple times a month. It screams a scam, but people fall for it!

Well it has to be official... it's signed by a Dr. Mrs.

Everyone knows that female doctors have to have both. Must be legit!

Or maybe they didn't want you to be confused thinking it was a Dr. Mr. Katherine. Yeah. That must be it.

[Silver Bug]

I can't believe people still do this... and others still fall for this XD

Between lotteries and helpful Nigerian princes, I should be rolling in it right now .

[smith121]

[mom-from-missouri]
