Do you think they are really going to give me $400, 000 USD ? ..I don't think so, a serious company don't send emails from a yahoo address...

Have you ever got emails like that?

So you're a millionaire? Congratulations! Were are you going to take us all to dinner tonight? Hope it's somewhere nice (=fancy, expensive )

I get spam all the time. I don't even bother to open those emails.

That's nice Xkalibur. Celebrate!

Same with Dixie I just delete them.

Whenever I get a similar email I simply ignore it, just like everyone else does.No one should ever pay attention to emails like that.

It would be more like that they make you to pay.. probably that's phone number have high tax or some other trick.. Like saying that you have to bay money transfer fee first to get money, or something. I guess there must be still some people who fall into that kind of lame scam.. why else they bother with it.

That’s right, as my uncle says “free cheese can only be in a mousetrap.”
