Is this a scam??? Is there anyone out there that has been informed of inheriting someones fortune?

Question

Are all of these scams or is there a success story out there? I am looking for others that have been told via email that they have inherited someones fortune after they have passed away? if so can you let me know the outcome? This particular one is from the Alliance Bank in Malaysia, so if you have received one can you let me know as there doesn't seem to be a catch at all and they aren't asking for money or anything so i would like to know whether or not to believe it.

Answer 1

Never believe anything of that sort. They are ALWAYS a scam. No exceptions.

I repeat, NEVER fall for any of those e-mails. They are scams.

Answer 2

**IT IS A SCAM***

I used to receive dozens of these e-mails a day, whether it be an inheritance from someone I never even heard of, a bank official seeking my help to extract money from a hidden suspense account, or the countless overseas lotteries that I "won."

They attempt to play you on and convince you that there really is an inheritance waiting for you. Once they have you in, they will then milk you for all of sorts of fees and charges that will never end, and you will never see the promised millions. Other types of scams include mail posing as Paypal, eBay, and banks. These will trick you into entering your personal information, which will allow them to clean out your bank account or use you other accounts to buy things in your name. There is another type of scam in which they pose as a hitman that was hired to kill you, in which they scare you into paying them to call off the hit, but they won't end the fees.

You see, scammers will count on dollar signs clouding the common sense of the few who will actually fall for it. You would not believe how many people fall for these scams. Unfortunately, there are just too many types for me to list here. If they can't get your money, they will try to steal your identity. Some will request your social security number, while others even ask for copies of your driver's license or passport.

It is not hard to identify these letters. The biggest giveaway is their poor command of the English language, consistent use of "caps lock," and it usually has some lengthy story to try to convince you that it is legit. The other red flag is that they commonly use e-mail services such as Yahoo, Gmail, or Hotmail, but will insist that they are from an actual company.  Some will include a hyperlink embedded in the mail. Never click on them, for they will send you to a website that seems legitimate, but is fake. They often craft fake Paypal and Bank of America pages to steal information. Always enter the address of the site in the address bar. Lastly, never believe a deal that is too good to be true, for it always is.

Here are a couple of websites I think you should visit, as they will educate you better on these types ot scams:

www.ebolamonkeyman.com

419.bittenus.com

Once again, IT IS A SCAM. Do not send them any information, documents, photos, or money of any kind.

These sites taught me a lot and kept me from falling for these scams. No matter what, do not believe a word they say, and never feel sorry for them. These animals have caused a lot of suffering for many people. They are guiltless thieves, and their only objective to steal your money.

They are all scams.  They say you have to send them a high dollar amount of money so they can send you the other money.  You send yours, you never hear from them again.  Be very careful opening some of these emails.  Some are loaded with Trojans and viruses.
