A girl has e-mailed me that, her dad has died in a plane crash leaving millions of dollars lying in a bank and she wants me to write to the said bank that I am her late dad's next kin, so that the bank transfer all that money to my account abroad! Can this be a true or she's a scammer? Why she's doing this? what will she gain from me doing so?

This is a scam and it's been going around for ages now mainly from Africa, the "Bank"eventually will request that you send an amount of US$ 5000 for a legal consultant to release the money and send it to you!!!
Just forget them if it was for real they will not contact you:-)

They will get all your identification and steal every penny you have. Haven't you seen all those dateline specials? I like to e-mail them back and let them know I can't help them but maybe our fine government can at the FBI and that I have forwarded it them for their convenience.
