Do you think that this is an Email Scam?

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:Absolutely yes! it's a scam....
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.
