She contacted me, saying that she only had 4 months to live due to cancer so she didn't want all her hard earned money too go to her family. I was told to contact her lawyer and let them know she is donating the will of $10,000,000 to me. Does anyone know how to have all these nigerian and other scams from getting to my computer?

Yes, tons of those and everytime it seems to be someone else from another country. I have changed my e-mail address several times. I did find out onething...cardfountain.com is definately an outlet for these scammers! Don`t open any cards from them or use their service!

Uh-huh, it's a scam that's been around awhile. Just delete it. About the only way to stop getting these scams is to not have an email address.

Yeah - turn off your Internet connection and stop using email.
These guys buy up lists from hackers that glean emails from databases and more.
Then they share em around, which is why the seam to come i waves. My favorite new one is the American marine sgt in Iraq needing help moving $25 million in US currency that one of the former Sadam advisors had.

Sounds like you do not have a anti-ad-ware/spam software package on your computer, consider purchasing one even if your Internet provider pre-screens your email for spam. It is rather inexpensive.

If you use Yahoo as your email provider forward the emails to spoof@yahoo.com
