Do you know about email from people wanting someone as next of kin to get money left by someone deceased?

I get emails from strangers in other countries wanting me to agree to act as next of kin to someone who has died and left large amount's of money that is unclaimed. The large amout's are to be sent to me and I am to then split it with whoever emailed me, Most of the time they claim to be the lawyer of the deceased.

Do you know about email from people wanting someone as next of kin to get money left by someone deceased?
If it sounds too good to be true....................





It most likely is
Reply:it is SPAM... do not open and do not respond.....
Reply:Hit "delete"
Reply:Do an online google for online scams deceased, you will get so many hits on this you will leave them all alone...
Reply:This is called "SPAM" or "JUNK MAIL" or "Snail Mail" and you can report these persons on the Internet very easily.





Simply forward the email to the following address:





Examples:


abuse@msn.com





report_abuse@msn.com





You may also want to adjust your Anti-Spam Software on your Internet Service Provider Account and your Webrowser (i.e. Internet Explorer) to reduce and eliminate these email tactics.





Then once received the Website or ISP will research, track and take the appropriate actions against the persons who are mis-using the Internet.





You can also report these individuals or businesses to The Attorney General's Office and The Better Business Bureau so GOOD LUCK! :-) Happy Surfing...
