Well thwarted again. Probably spelled that big word wrong to. But last few days have had no mind!! Did not see my family names. So go on as usual Viola and get crazy emails and whammy not!!All i can think about is Bin Laden or what ever his name is!! You see i got an email from Isa Yusuf!! Seems a man named Erikson was killed in plane crash some years back and he had 6,240,000.00 in the bank. The money was frozen because he had no family. Well Isa wants me to write and say im related to Erikson and the money will go into my bank account. But then in a few days they will take their share out. Now whats wrong here??? Am not the smartest person in the world but im not totaly brain dead. Viola.

Good Morning Viola., Please do not respond to that message. It is considered a Hoax. I do believe that I read or heard on T.V. - that officials were concerned about these messages - not because of terrorism - but because of fraud. Never - Ever respond to anything like this - Why would they get in touch with us - they don't know us - they find our e mail addresses - and hope to find someone who will fall for this SCAM. Our Better Business Bureau - talked about this during a news show. Perhaps - you should contact the Better Business Bureau in your area - They probably have a file - . Don't give them your bank account # - Don't respond to their mail. Cheers, Stella At 12:14 PM 10/5/01 -0500, Viola Seward wrote: >Well thwarted again. Probably spelled that big word wrong to.

No i would not answer some thing like that because it sounded to good to be true and all i could think about was Bin Laden or what ever his name was. But i sent the email on to a cousin. Now like a dork she answered them but told me she didnt. Oh well i think i done the right thing and i want to thank all of you for your good advice. Viola.

Don't fall for that. My cousin got a similar letter, in Germany. Someone from Africa wrote something similar, he was going to take his share of the account and all that stuff. All they probably want is your bank account and then they will take the money out!!! Ines At 12:14 PM 10/5/01 -0500, Viola Seward wrote: >Well thwarted again. Probably spelled that big word wrong to.
