I got an email form this lady who lived in france saying she's dieing and want to leave me all her funds?

Definitely a scam. Strangers don't offer money by email.
See if your email service has a phishing or scam reporter and report it.
That way you can save other less careful people from it.

SCAM...she'll ask for something sooner or later. Don't respond to any more of these emails in the future.

I have received this email too. It is a scam. Delete it.

It's a scam. I get similiar e-mails all the time. I've heard horror stories of people who have fallen for this. Just delete the e-mail and move on.

Do you know this lady?
How did she get your email address?
Was the letter in French?


Scam

Do you know her? If not, it is a scam. Why would she give all her money to someone she doesn't know? Everyone has friends and relatives to leave their funds to.

This is a SCAM! They don't need that info from you. She wants your bank account number so that she can "transfer funds" to you right?? Wrong! She's trying to rip you!!! And I can guarantee you that she's not a lady, nor is she dying!!!

Definitely a scam. For fun, ask her where she will be buried so that you can send flowers to her cold grave.

Yes.....

It is obviously a scam.....


I once received a message, that claimed that if I clicked on the link, I'd win a date with Britney Spears in a matter of days....

That was a year ago.

And I'm still waiting...

It is SO a scam! Think about it? Do you know anyone in France? Have you ever? and WHY would they want to leave YOU of all people all their money, when they could give it to someone homeless, to a charity, or to a family member. Or even spend it all on herself to make her last few days memorable? If she really wants to give it to you have her send you a check. There is no reason they need your account # or social #.

Don't do it...report it.

Scam! She's trying to befriend you. Eventually, she'll get around to getting all your pertinent information!

Of course it's a scam.

why would a random french woman want to give you money? how did she get your email in the first place? it doesn't make any sense. Probably just another scam.

Wow you must be special for someone you don't know to want to leave you money

Whats her addy, I'LL BEAT YOU TO HER! lol!

I'd stay as far away from that as you can. she has your e-mail, it's probably spam. Your just a keywork in her source!

If you believe this you are too gullible, and you want to reshuffle your brain cells.

You get an E-mail from someone in France you never heard about and they want to leave you their money? Wow how exiting. Have a good laugh, then delete the mail and forget it. It's a scam. I have personally won some African lotteries many times. Unfortunately I am still poor.
