I just got this in my inbox and I think that it is a scam. What do you think? And also, have you also gotten one? Here it is:
Sender: Philip David
My name is David Philip I am from Greece Please take this serious,
I am taking this liberty anchored on strong desire to ask for your
assistance for help. Your consent and urgent attention will greatly be
needed, devoid of apprehensions. I have been diagnosed with Esophageal
cancer. It has defied all forms of medical treatment, and right now I have
only about a few months to live, according to medical experts.
I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared
for anyone (not even myself) but my business. Though I am very rich, I
was never generous, I was always hostile to people and only focused on
my business as that was the only thing I cared for.
But now I regret all this as I now know that there is more to life
than just wanting to have or make all the money in the world. Now that i
have been diagnosed with this deadly disease I have willed and given
most of my property and assets to my immediate and extended family
members as well as few close friends, i lost my wife and son in a fatal
accident a few years ago I have decided to give alms to charity
organizations,as I want this to be one of the last good deeds I do on earth.
So far, I have distributed money to some charity organizations in the U.A.E,
Somalia and Malaysia. Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I can
not do this myself anymore. I once asked members of my family to close one
of my accounts and distribute the money, which I have there to charity
organization in Bulgeria and Haiti, they refused and kept the money to
themselves.
Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they seem not to be contended with
what I have left for them. The last of my money, which no one knows of,
is the huge cash deposit of five Million United States Dollars($5,000,000)
that I have with a Finance Vaulting Unit in Europe.I will want you
to help me collect this deposit and dispatch it to charity
organizations.I,am willing to offer you a reward If you are willing to help.
please when replying indicate Your full name email, cell phone number so that
My personal confidant will call you and give you details on how the funds
will
be
transfered to you.
Regards,
David Philip
Do you think that this is an Email Scam?
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to tell you this is a scam. Never give out your personal information to the scammers at all costs. What you need to do is just get that message spammed straight into oblivion right away. You don't get a cent out of this so-called "inheritance" nonsense.
Reply:yea its definitely a scam i got the same one and i did a spam scan and it was on the list of them.
Reply:of COURSE it's a scam. If you don't know a person, don't give him/her your full phone number and full name

Reply:Nigerian 419 scam. I know what it is. when i see it.
Reply:Please confirm to the US gov website whether they are true or scam
Reply:Yes it is(a scam). There is often similar ones that request for your bank account # or social security so that John Doe can transfer 1111 or so dollars into your account and so on. Do not reply at all to the e-mail and just delete it.
