I have had several emails from foreign countries telling me that I either won a bunch of money or a long lost relative left me money: as far as the "won money" ones, I haven't really checked those out, ( ALTHOUGH THE LITTLE CHECKING I DID DO LED ME NOWHERE, I JUST LEAVE THE EMAIL SITTING THERE, BUT WHEN I CHECK THEM OUT MORE, I WILL POST HERE!!!!!!!) but the long lost relatives, I went and did some research a few months back and found out that they were TOTAL SCAMS!! I really thought that they might be, before my research, because, c'mon, if you had a relative that was that rich, don't you think you probably would have already known?!?!?! I found out (I believe that it was through the Nigerian Bar Association, because most of them say they are attorneys, and you will find similar names there, but don't be fooled!!! Read all you can there because they will tell you about the scams) that alot of people in Nigeria want your bank account info so they can take your money. DON'T GIVE THEM ANYTHING!!!!! IT IS A SCAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I even had one from the wife of a "political offical that was supposedly imprisoned wrongly and she needed the money to get him out" Really, you know who your family is and even if you don't, DON'T FALL FOR IT!!!! If your long lost relative wanted to leave you money, you would find out through a family attorney that would probably check out through some kind of bar association. ALWAYS DO YOUR HOMEWORK BEFORE GIVING OUT YOUR BANK INFO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE DON'T BE FOOLED UNTIL YOU HAVE DONE A COMPLETE CHECK ON THEM!!! I DID AND FOUND NOTHING BUT SCAMS!!!!!!!!!
