Another Typical Email Scam

[Admin]

This one is trying to really play on the fool. They try telling you someone attempted to claim you are dead and collect their inheritance you left them. This person is referred to racialy as:

"one Black Gentleman"

NO legal office of any sort would EVER EVER do in this day and age for fear of a discrimination lawsuit! The email goes on to state that:

"you will be require to come down here to sign a paper work to enable us released the funds to you for immediate effect.But if you cannot afford to come here in Cotonou,Benin Du Republic due to your work,We will released your payment to you immediately once you show us your identity such as your international passport."

Um... NO NEVER!!! Go to West Africa to get an inheritance on MYSELF?!?! Life Insurance and Inheritance Monies would NEVER be issued to someone like that! The guy who tried claiming it in the first place would be arrested for fraud and the Life Insurance Company would according to the court systems be repaid the amount withdrawn plus possible reperations from the criminal the email discusses! What you want me to go to West Africa where I can be abducted, killed... WHATEVER!

Send you proof of identity with my Passport? Are you freaking smoking crack? So you can copy my info off the Passport that what, send you pics of? Then I get arrested because I am caught somewhere for a crime committed by another person using a Forged copy of my Passport? HAHAHAHA you had me actually crying laughing at that one! These people will never get smarter, in fact they continuously become less literate and way less convincing!

Here's a cut-n-paste of the said email scam:
