Her husband supposedly died, leaving eight million pounds sterling in some Security-something. Since, she, herself, supposedly isn't going to last many more months, she would like the money to be used for the less-fortunate, to a particular thing. Now- i am very puzzled. Now- I'm not against someone picking me to leave me their millions......, but I'm not going to get scammed either! Have her "Name", how can this b checked out!
I realize people get very ill, and many times they don't have children or anybody else- some times they just pick someone to leave their money to! BUT I DO Accept- only if it's the real deal!
So- my question is- how can I check it out?

SCAM. Delete the letter and NEVER reply. This is just a version of the Nigerian scam that has been hooking dumb people for many years. Ten million in the bank, can't get it out, need your help, in return you get a large reward. This is TOTAL BS. Don't check it out. Run away. Leave it. See, she's already got you hooked...You actually believe there's a possible reason...That's how they get their hooks into you and take you for a ride, where you lose everything.
How on earth did she get your name? Some company collects names of people (and emails) and they send out 100 of these emails. If just one sucker falls for the line, they've made their fortune.
Report this to to one of the sites in the source. Maybe you'll help some other person--probably a litte old woman or man with no money and no intelligence from being scammed.

Don't bother. It's a scam. This email ruse goes out with many different back stories but the bottom line is the same. Some person from another country has hugh amounts of money to give away and picked you at random. Whatever!

It's really freaky when they mail you a letter from Spain.
so and so died in a flaming motor vehicle accident while on vacation in North Africa. They left no heirs, the entire family died, and now there's a ton of money in this bank account, phone me and I'll give you 10% or some damn amount like that, but I'm doing something dishonest, so don't say my name out loud.
Weird ****. I burned that letter. (How the f did they get my address?)

Go along with her, but this is IMPORTANT! The minute she wants personal information from you ( SS#, Credit card, bank acc#)or money up front, it's a scam. Don't fall for it, tell her to contact you attorney (make one up with another address if you don't have one) I hope I'm wrong, but red lights are blinking on this one. Good luck.

Don't even try to check it out, I got the same e-mail. It's a scam.

all those types of emails are scams, your best bet is to delete/ignore any email from anyone you dont know , so many people get caught out by these scams

Youre joking right? Well the only way to "check it out" is to reply to them and give them your bank info.

if it sounds too good to be true, it's a scam.
In this case it is.
