Yeah, SURE you have .. morons the world over are giving away THOUSANDS to other people (usually Nigerians) on the net every day !
I expect you are one of the lucky people to receive a lesson in Advanced Fee Fraud.
This lesson will cost you every penny you care to 'donate' (and then maybe your Identity will be sold to the Russian Mafia) but, hay, it's worth it !
Don't forget to send them your Bank Account details, and copies of your Birth Certificate, Passport and Driving Licence

nope... he is a scammer!!!
To Avoid scams here is what i tell people...
All spam emails/unsolicited phone calls/letters and faxes are scams.
As a general rule - ANYTHING involving Western Union/money gram = Scam.
my Advice: Don't deal with anyone out of state or from a foreign country or Accept or cash checks from strangers and never use wire/bank transfer services.. you risk losing your $$ and your mind.
Remember, if it sounds too good
to be true, it probably is! NEVER(ever) give out your personal information to strangers online or offline! Always be on guard.
