I got this in my inbox from Mrs. Anita Adams Johnson, Abidjan Cote Dlvoire, Christ Bethel Hospital,Des Martyr 44 Avenue 06BP7452 Iabidjan RCI in Africa telling me her husband worked for the goverment and had died and left 8.7 million dollars in the bank for her, and then the Drs. told her she was going to die within the next 3 mths from a blood cancer., and didn't want the money to go to a charity she wanted to send it to me . DON'T BELIEVE IT!!!!! IT IS A SCAM to get your bank acct. numbers. Report it to (www.IC3.gov).Please don't anybody be fooled by her. She will even send you a picture of herself, and say she can't call you to send her all the info. she is asking for.

It sounds like one of those Nigerian 419 scams. I get emails like that all the time. They thank me for having assisted them before
[I never heard of them], and give me the good news that the money will be available soon! Or they ask my assistance in getting money out of their country (usually Nigeria), in exchange for part of the money. They are actually going to send me all the money, and trust me to send them half!
I understand that all it takes is a cell phone and a laptop to set up one of these scams.

Thanks for the warning. Almost any such request for money is a scam.
