Do they really think I'm That stupid? I received this email within the past few days from:

[email protected]

I am Mrs. Janet Brown, a devoted Christian and I have been diagnosed of cancer a few years ago immediately after the death of my husband who left me everything he had worked for. I have been touched by God to donate from what I have inherited from my late husband to you for the good work of God rather than allow my greedy relatives to use my husband's hard earned funds in ungodly way. Contact my attorney Mr. Nelson Powell with this specified email: [email protected] telling him that I have WILLED $10,000,000.00 to you because I am about to go for a major operation and I might not be able to write you again. My personal reference number with him is law/chamber/solicitors/je/ws/WILL/9834520012. This mail was sent by one of my PA so please reply to my attorney's email address: [email protected] for more details.
Remain Blessed
Mrs. Janet Brown

I heard from someone else about this, they ask for your bank information then empty your account. People like this really piss me off.

Don't take it personally, scammers send out thousands of these emails in a week.

It is great you recognized this as a scam, and thank you for posting it up for others to be warned that this is a scam.

It is a fairly typical Advanced Fee Fraud. I have moved it here.
