It's probably the scam where they send you a check, you cash it and send them a percentage. Of course the check is no good so the bank recoups the money from you and you're stuck. I delete all email from folks I don't know...

Look up the lawyer name on google and see if it is a real person. BBB thing like that. Before you decide its spam

I don't even open emails from quilters-turned out someone hacked their email accts. I'm very wary. delete, delete, delete.

It's a sham for sure, I find them all the time in my Junk and regular mail! Amazing how they can get email addys!

Hey you and I must have the same last name, too. I got the same email today. Hmm. Does that mean we have to share??

On my email I have the choice to "report as phishing scam" click that :thumbup:

I get these all the time, according to them I am a multi billionaire many times over. The truth is that if this were true they wouldn't contact you by e-mail.

bearisgray is absolutely correct in knowing this is a scam. there's no need to look up anything except where she can report it.
