Internet Scam

So it's come to my own Yahoo account isn't safe.  I know what you're thinking: "duh, Jayme!" I've received two emails that are just irking me.  One was enough, but two.. that's two too many!

First email was on 06/10/09. My last name has been covered up with R*** so you don't figure out I'm batman.

 
Attn:Jayme R***


I am the personal/sole executor to the late Mr.Robert R***  hereinafter referred to as my client who worked as an independent oil magnate in my country.He died in a car crash with his immediate family in East London on November 5, 2002..


Mr Robert had Left behind a deposit of 6.8 Million British Pounds Sterling only with a trust company After his death,the Trust company contacted me being his attorney to provide who is right heir to his fortune and this according to them is their policy in sure circumstances.Directors of the company just adopted a resolution and I was mandated to provide his right heir for the release of the fund within a very limited time or forfeit the fund as an abandoned funds.your last name is similar making it easier.


It is unprofitable for his funds to be submitted to the government of this country or some financial institution.Like I said, I require solemn confidentiality on this. Please get in touch with me by my alternative email (richardwrkhamm@hotmail.com) 44-701 113 9692  for better confidentiality and send to me your telephone and fax numbers to enable us discuss further on this transaction. Thanks for your understanding.

Let's talk about this, shall we? First off I am a R*** by marriage, I wouldn't have a right to these "millions," someone by blood who would be closer than myself would be closer to that money.  Second, Momma didn't raise a fool.  I am the furthest thing from gullible, naive, or stupid.  I have street smarts up the wazoo, do you know where I grew up?  Ok ok, I'm climbing off my ghetto soap box and getting back to the topic at hand. Seriously though, I know an internet scam when I see one.  And third {this is my favorite}, I AM THE INTERNET GENERATION! I know that when something sounds fishy, looks fishy and smells fishy, double check it online and see if it's a fish.  There are people online complaining about the same thing that I'm claiming!  How stupid do these people think I am?

Here's the funny part, I got a second email.  This one is from a different person, email address and phone number.  Granted this letter is shorter than the first, but it has the same wording, same person who "died," and same slimy feeling.  Oh and notice that the amount of "my" money has gone up?  It was "6.8 Million British Pounds Sterling" and now it's "£9.8million." Seems strange that in 2 months and 19 days it's gone up 3 million 

Here's the second letter, again with my last name changed to R*** {Cause I'm Batman}

Fucking scam artist, not even a good one... I'm ashamed of you.  Who really starts a letter with 5 or 6 spaces, then "--".. with not a hello or anything.  If they want to scam me, they need to wine and dine me first.  Make me feel sexy, wanted, and loved.. then try to give me this weak scam.
