It's a scam.
If they were really poor, they would not own computers and be on the Internet.

Hell yea that's fraud. I'm sorry, they can't afford to buy food, but they have a computer with internet that they sit on all day to try to get some money? If they're that desperate, sell the computer, stop paying internet bills, and go out and work instead of sitting online chatting all day.
I've never had this experience, but I have heard of e-mails being sent to people asking for money which was a scam - was actually in the news.

You would first have to find out if you are/were entitled to anything. Secondly, you should be able to file a suit pro se and get free legal aid from a women's group of some sort in your area. I am not an accountant, but, I would imagine that you would then be responsible for taxes and penalties associated with the income and pulling it from the account. Again, not an attorney, but, I would think that in 92 he likely did not have the cash, therefore would have had to pull it out, pay 30%, so, your portion would be much less than the half you feel it should be.. I don't know if I am correct, judges do stupid things everyday...

Well, if it involves a stranger from Nigeria wanting you to do something, it is probably fraud.
You have no way to verify the story these people are giving you. What you could do is find some sort of charity that helps impoverished people and donate money to them. Do a bit of research and find one that is truly doing what it is saying it is doing. One question to ask yourself on these people. If they are so poor and impoverished (to the point to where they need your money), how do they get access to a computer? These people must be living in a fairly well developed area for them to have the support to have a computer and internet.

Anyone asking for money after a few weeks is probably a fraud.

To be honest I would never give money to anyone on the internet. You can prove either way if they are lying or not.

Definately fraud, they wouldn't have computer access if the were extremely poor.

I know when my children are starving that I get right on the internet and try to persuade people to send me money via paypal or wired straight to my bank.
No, you are being had.
Do not send money.
If you were starving wouldn't you sell your computer first?
