9000% scam...  If your "kin" has died they usually know your contact information to hand out your inheritance... If they don't specify on the name of your "kin" and you, then it's a general scam

why would this question even be asked. I don't even store information in the computer anywhere and don't use online banking. I do however make up stuff lol for those who try to hack just get a bunch of made up numbers. I did have some hacking attempts that my virus scan caught someone shut it off.

Scam... The person you are supposedly related to - Danielle should have given you that information at the beginning of the message.

Definitely a scam!  It's crazy the stories they come up with the try and get information from people.  It's sad that some will actually fall for these scams. :(

SCAM.  Enter the phone number into your search and you'll most likely get some pages full of comments from other people called by Danielle and others at that number.  Do not ever give your information, or money, to someone you don't know.  :-X

Definitely another phishing attempt to see if they have a live number.  Do not call back and block the number.  For the other person who got the call about the debt that needed to be paid - that too is a scam.  That one often uses threats like the person is going to jail, however, debt is a civil action - no going to jail - besides, even if you were, they would not announce the police were on the way to arrest you.

If you ever get a suspicious call like this, if you have caller ID, type the number in a search engine and look for a site like 800Notes, then read the entries.  First, if the number appears there, there's probably a 95% chance it's a scam.

For other letters or emails you get, I suggest going to Snopes.com or UrbanLegends.com and search those sites to see if the email/letter lands on their "fake/scam" evaluation.  Those sites can save you from those endless chain letters that morphed into emails.
