:blink: Maybe I shouldn't post this but here goes.

 This person send me this email. And they explain a little about there family. How her father was posioned to death. Then before the death of her father he called her secretly to his bedside. used her name to deposite the money. He was posioned by this wealth by business associates. They said Sir I'd honor if you could assit me in ways: To serve as a guardian in this fund since I'm only 22 and to make an arrangement to come to your country. Please do not hesitate to contact me with my email address for further details.


PROBOLEM:

How the heck did she get my email address?
Who is she?
This has to be more then spam?
I'm only 13 so helping a 22 year old with money is out of the question.

Don't listen to them. I know these kinds of tricks, they could be trojan horses or viruses or spyware.

That sounds like bull. Its problably spam or, a money scheme. Ignore it and move on. Even though it sounds like a sad situation it could be a scam. Look at the email sender and see if it was a forward. If so, then you're not the only one this person has hit up for money. Unless you know who its from. It IS out of the question. Dont go giving your money to some stranger who lives somewhere you dont know. Good choice. You're being smart about it.


I'm not trying to be mean but, its spelled Weird.

It said to ( insert her email address) from ( insert her email address) and it didn't say forward.

Sorry about the W word being spelled wrong * sweetdrop*

It's a Phishing scam.  Those are relatively new, and they are far more complex than average spam.  They give insane scenarios in order to attempt to get personal information or money out of you.  I get around 2-3 a day.

Thats a pretty strange email. They probably mass emailed it to hundreds of people. I read somewhere that if you reply to it, it tells them that you have an active email account. They'll in turn, continue to spam you. So I wouldn't advise replying.
