I have so many of these sent to me. I've had some saying I won the lottery. One was a person claiming to be a woman dying of cancer; she had lots of money and wanted to donate it. One saying a man had died, had no heirs and had designated me to be his heir.
Be so careful. Obviously, some people are being taken by this scam. Otherwise, the perpetrators would not be so persistant.

Yes, first they said that it was an inheritance, and then they said their parents had just died, and then they said that their dream was to come to America to play football, and all of them asked for money at the end. I've also gotten e-mails from the same address saying I've won money and to give them credit card numbers and stuff.

This is a scam, they try to get people to give them their banking info and then they take money from their accounts. DON"T BUY IT. if you didn't enter a contest don't go for it. If it's too good to be true, then it isn't true. I repeat this is a scam

Yes, its called the Nigerian scam. Look it up in the Internet, type in 'Nigerian scam' on google . I got this Email twice it said that some rich guy died and his 15.5 million was unclaimed in the bank. You should report it if you got it.

I heard that it is a total scam and completly fake. They are just trying to steal your money. Just delete the emails if you ever received them.
