Something strange is it a con??????????

Of course it's a scam.

1st they steal your identity and your bank account numbers.

Then they steal you money & credit (and future).

If it sounds to good to be true it usually is!

edit****

and now that the scammer KNOWS your email is live and working you are going to get slammed from every email scammer in the world. You do realize they sell your email addresses as a "confirmed" email to other spammers & scammers.

certainly sounds like a scam! ask him for some of his information such as contact info, if he doesn't give you any it's defiantely a scam. why would you get the money if you weren't related or he didn't will it to you? sounds like some sort of identitly theft otherwise why would he need so much info? good luck!

lol who ever is asked for there passport and don't know anything about the people involved. you don't know the guy that sent the 1.e-mail 2. the dead guy 3. the guy did not live near you 4. the guy is not a friend of the family 5 should i go on, no. Information information the only thing that you need to know to know if its a scam.
o ya and its time for you to get a new e-mail addy. if it were real they would have sent a regular paper mail via the postoffice.

Yes, big scam!! They had it on "Dateline" a few months back. Block him so he can't send you any more emails.

block this person and notify the FBI. If it is true you will be notified by them.

This is a scam that has been around almost as long as Nigeria. Never send any information about yourself to someone you don't know.

Groovy

You shouldn't have responded. It's a scam, a popular one at that. I get all kinds of e-mail telling me I have millions of dollars. I'm one rich lady and never seen a dime of it...why? Because it's a SCAM.

nutty

Yes, it's a scam. I'd report this guy to the police.

yes, it is a scam. they'll ask to use your bank account to temporarily hold the money with the promise of you receiving part of it. once you give them your account number, they'll take everything you got.

monte the man

This is very much a scam i got one of the same e-mail don't reply back to this guy anymore he is bad news have a good day.

cinsingl83

SCAM SCAM...Dont ever give info like your passport etc to strangers.

Skyhawk

Yes it is a con. Do not give any of your personal information to this person.
It is what they call a "phishing" letter.
Check out the security section of your email provider.
They may have you forward the email to them so they can try to investigate.
I've gotten a bunch of those, usually from Nigeria.
The new one I've gotten is the 'International Lottery'
It said I won. Hmmmm, should I quit my job?

toff

Yes it is a con. It is a very active one right now.

lizardmama

Are you in the US? If so, this is definitely a scam. Passports are not required. Neither is personal information. A SS# would be required for tax purposes, but DON'T give him that! This stinks, and he could use it to fake your identity. He will eventually try to get your bank account numbers to drain your account. Tell him that you need the routing number and the phone number of the executive offices of natwest bank so you can verify the information through your accounting attorney. If he refuses that or gives you some baloney, he's a scam artist for sure.

It's a scam, Run don't walk RUN from it!

It's a scam - they will ask you to send them money to collect your money in the account - you send your money - they disappear and you're out money - not in the money.

Realist

This sounds like a typical con. A friend of mine had a similar situation a couple years ago. He called the band and asked for the president of the bank and explained to him the situation. He then found out that this was a fraud and that the case had been turned over to the FBI. By all means DO NOT SEND THIS PERSON ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION!!!!! Contact the bank or your local police. If it is true the bank would contact you by official means not by e-mail.

showstopper18

NEVER NEVER NEVER give people any information on you or others in your family. if they really need it tell them to get it from your lawyer. tell him your lawyer will contact him to make sure everything is legit. it's not a matter of trust, i think it is a con. don't fall for it!

MiVidaLoca

BIG NO NO...THIS Is for SURE a HOAX. Don't do something silly like be naive about this email. I'd email him back that you're checking with your hubby, the FBI man......bet you he never contacts you again!
