Email scams abound! Every email listed is a fraud, and is directly from my mailbox. Check to see if the money you inherited, won, or are being offered is the same as mine! IMPORTANT: DO NOT RESPOND TO SCAMMERS. That only lets them know they have a good email. If you already responded, block them and stop all communication. If your area has someone who handles Internet scammers, report them. Don't try to handle it yourself.
