hey ther AT, the ones I like are the ones where a so called lawyer contacts you be email and tells you that a person with the same last name as yours, was killed, died, etc and has estate in millions, and he wants to use you to pose as the next of kin to get the money.....

You know that is really sad. My mother and her husband recently fell prey to one of these scames even though I told her it was a scam she went ahead and sent them money and gave them their savings account info to deposite the money.
In their case it was a dead rich realative from Norway. I showed her the fleasing web site (sp) and she still refused to believe me that it was a scam. My mother is a very stubern person who things that she knows everything about everything. She firmly believed that no one could scam her because she was so clever. Well they lost $10,000.00 over all and even though she won't tell me, I heard it from Arts son that they had, she tries to play that they made money. It really is pathetic. Her pride got in the way of common sense and it cost them most of their savings.
