What should I do with it?

They say I inherited money from someone I never heard of and want me to pay for postage or something.

I get them too. According to my dad he knows someone who replied and they wanted to put the money in his checking account they needed his checking account number so they could deposit the money in his account well they took all of his money out of his checking account and he was retired living on Social Security. Don't even reply or they will keep hounding you and hounding you and don't give them any personal info.

Nobody is hating on the Nigerians. But a few of your kind HAVE given you a bad name. In fact.....I went to China for three years to teach English. There was a group of us. Some Kenyans, some Nigerians, some Tanzanians, some Canadians, Americans, Australians, New Zealanders, Germans, and British (to name a few of the nationalities I ran with) and out of all of those people, every single Nigerian male did something bad to ruin thier names. And that was after defending the virtue of their nationality. Not one....NOT ONE.....was able to stick with a friendship without conning something. It was sad. And it made me feel sad for those Nigerians that are truly and honestly good. So, maybe you should be asking the question "Why are you (fellow Nigerians that can't seem to be honest) giving us a bad name?". As for the person that asked the question....just do what my friend does. Con them back. He sets up fake meeting places and all sorts of stuff and puts them on the great chase for money that isn't there. Serves anyone right...Nigerian, French, Canadian or American, for trying to violate someone elses kindness!

yes I have. I am a person who participates in online surveys and several times I have "won" money that I never enrolled in. I have attempted to verify the authenticity by tracing the origins of the message with no avail. My advice to you is never give up personal information to any unrecognized source. And if you are unsure DELETE it.

The first advice is best.
Don't even open it delete and bounce and block sender.
It is a very common scam.
