    It's probably the scam where they send you a check, you cash it and send them a percentage. Of course the check is no good so the bank recoups the money from you and you're stuck. I delete all email from folks I don't know...

    I don't even open emails from quilters-turned out someone hacked their email accts. I'm very wary. delete, delete, delete.

    Hey you and I must have the same last name, too. I got the same email today. Hmm. Does that mean we have to share??

    I get these all the time, according to them I am a multi billionaire many times over. The truth is that if this were true they wouldn't contact you by e-mail.

    bearisgray is absolutely correct in knowing this is a scam. there's no need to look up anything except where she can report it.
