Has anyone got any of these e-mails lately? They all state that someone has died, and left funds unclaimable, or I won money. The first one I got, about a week ago, said that she (the emailer) had lost her husband while living in a communist country. The gov. wants the money so she needs to deport it to a person outside the country (the person is me:) I would be getting 30% of the US$10M..
2nd one stated that I had won the Euro-African Lottery, $500,000, I replied saying YAY YAY, they wanted me to ship 345 USD to process my winnings…
A 3rd said that a wealthy individual in south america had died in a plane accidant and left US$9.5M that was Unclaimable, the emailer (the bank owner holding the funds) stated the gov. wants to take the money and spend it on the army.. I would get 30%
A 4th I got today was the same as the 1st pretty much.. A lady was widdowed, gov. wants the capital, but only it's a crate ful;l of Gold and Diamonds stashed in a warehouse marked Antique.
I replied to the 1st one and recieved a reply that said in order to help I must travel to Europe.. WOWI..
Lol, I think this is all SPAM by countries that want more tourism..
Don't send anything. Its a scam. They will take your money, but you'll never see anything.
This is a spam by someone who wants to rip you off…. They are going to ask you to send them funds to release the ones you are to get or they will ask you for bank information so they can deposit the money and then rip you off…
Thing in the paper about it a few weeks ago.
An old guy in Vancouver got taken for something $50,000.
If anyone wants me to send a fee to cover 'processing', I tell them to deduct it from my 'winnings'. Haven't had a taker yet. Another guy phoned and wanted me to send in a fee on a supposed $100,000 win. I told him that since he was right there, if he paid the fee, I would split the prize with him 50/50. He wouldn't take me up on it, so I said that he must be either wealthy already, or stupid not to want $50,000. I've never had another call from that outfit. Can't figure out why.
My aunt caught a guy screwing around with elderly peoples bank accounts on Halloween. he was scamming a pile of people, and was going to get her.
Just remember, anything that sounds to good to be true, usually is. I'd stay away from this.
Its just like the Nigerian money scam. I know a guy who sent money for that.
I've had a few of those emails in the last couple weeks. I just deleted them right away. It's a shame they do sucker some people in though, and it's usually the ones who can least afford it.

Now that's the way to get rid of these guys! Great response, Pooga.
I was gouing to send an email saying, why dont you just take it out of the winnings, i didn't.. Don't worry, I'm not that gullible.. i won't send money..
