I just received a letter from a kind soul in Portugal telling me that some distant relative and his family were wiped out in the 2004 Tsunami and left behind $US10.5 million. All I have to do is contact this guy and he'll arrange for the transfer of these funds into my bank account. Gee with that type of money I can quit my job, buy a huge mansion with lots of semi-naked maids, buy the biggest yacht available, travel around the world, the list just goes on. I could hold a party for all my Lush friends, at my expense, on my new yacht after picking you all up in my new Lear jet. Wouldn't that be just great! Who wants to come?
Boy I can't believe they are still trying these old scams but it must mean there are idiots out there that fall into the trap. Has something like this happened to you before? I have received e-mails before but this was the first mailed one to me and as stated it came from Portugal.

A lot of mine come from Nigeria. They just need my bank account number to deposit my funds....
My spam filter catches them now. So I guess I'm going to be poor the rest of my life.
Well that's just my opinion, sorry if you don't like.

Another sure fire give away is how they say things. Either spelling wrong or the syntax gives it away for me.
It still amazes me that anyone falls for it. People must see dollar signs flashing before their eyes and forget to put their brains into gear.
