have you ever got an e-mail saying that some rich old lady in England has died leaving a lot of money and no relatives and since you have the same last name (I didn't) than you get the money. they just want your social security number, your bank account number, your name, age, adress... in short, all your info.
I mean, how stupid are they, do they think someone actually is going to give them the info?

It's funny that people actually fall for those scams. The only reason that the scam artists keep trying is that every now and then they find someone dumb enough to believe them.
If it's too good to be true... it's probably not true.

It is amazing how gull able some People are. I was the subject of a similar scam, I took all the communications to the cops and they told me how to handle it, I didn't receive any more communication after that.
